Do you have any enemies?

[Shekwan]

It's important to have enemies in order to live a well balanced life. The competitive spirit will help you achieve your full potential.

I don't have any enemies that would wish me harm. Some people don't like my views, but that will not mean they want to hurt me.

I have many enemies, both personal and professional. They all must be defeated!!!!!!!!!!!

yeah, tell me about it. I still love her. I am a fool indeed.

Naw, you're not a fool. I've been there. One of my past relationships was similar. The guy involved never stole her twice but I think I know where you are coming from. My advice, this is what I did it helped a lot, whether it's true or not you gotta focus on the in-between bad parts. Whenever you think of her, in a sober voice say to yourself "wow. She sucked." It even helps to feel sorry for the other guy, since he went through some of the same stuff, unless they are together happily ever after. The he can suck too.

Not IRL. I do dislike some people in some social websites and will tell them how I feel about them. But I would never consider them my enemy. Calling someone an enemy seems childish to me.

I have opted myself to be my worst enemy and I mean it quite sincerely.
You can see in life that when you have some weakness your friends loves you no matter what but if enemy comes around he will press you to perfect yourself. That is what realy good enemy can do for you...

I seem to accumulate enemies, but friends drift away. The really unpleasant ones are women, as above (and friends of same),

I have the impression that women can become more easily obsessed about revenge, where men tends to be more "lazy" about it.
This is something that all my divorced friends tend to agree about.

I have to say that she is the only person I can consider a real enemy.
What's really worrisome is that in the process of hurting me she created herself another enemy (a girl this time) and now they are at war against each other with slanders, night calls, etc.
Like you, I am now more suspicious and careful in relations... I have to think about a fake name now.

Well, two of them are and the other hates me because I ended up going out with the girl he had a crush on ... 4 girls in a row.

You may understand that it's difficoult to believe in coincidence.

I avoid relationships now, but one woman became upset because she felt jilted even though we never had any sort of relationship except chatting. Women (and some men) seem to become suspicious if I openly admit to being uninterested in long-term relationships, as if questioning such a central feature of society automatically makes me despicable. If I'm going to make women angry by being honest, it's tempting to stop being honest and just lie about my intentions. I can't quite stomach it though.[/QUOTE]

If death is your only enemy, then you are blessed.

The term "enemy" to me is a "projection" we place on others. While it is possible that we can be on the receiving end then they are just our attacker, unless we mutually reciprocate. It is true that a proper enemy nevers gives up and keeps attacking unless circumstances change. But that would be a bully, unless there was mutual hatred. I think that very few people have mutual enemies.

It has been said that enemies keep us on our toes, but to be an enemy would be a drain eventually. If one holds a grudge, they are usually no ones friend. Not because they are mean, but because people just do not enjoy their company.
