- Inconsistent Support: They offer support that feels insincere or inconsistent. One moment, they're congratulating you; the next they're downplaying your achievements or dismissing your efforts.
- Backhanded Compliments: Their compliments often have a negative undertone. For example, "You're doing well for someone like you", or "It's great you got that promotion, even though you're not experienced".
- Excessive Criticism: They frequently criticize your decisions, ideas, or successes under the guise of giving advice. This criticism feels more like an attack than constructive feedback.

- Gossip and Undermining: They engage in gossip about you, spreading rumors, or belittling your accomplishments behind your back. This behavior erodes trust and reveals their true feelings.
- Visible Discomfort: When you share good news, their body language, facial expressions, or tone of voice may reveal discomfort, jealousy, or disinterest, even if their words say otherwise.
By tapping into our inner strengths, we can began to better discern true intentions and protect our well-being. Here are some ways to deal with these secret haters.
- Ancestral Connection: Invoke guidance and protection of your ancestors or spiritual court. Communicate with spirit, asking for their support in shielding you from negativity.
- Intuition and Awareness: Trust your intuition. Sharpen your ability to sense insincerity and negativity. Pay attention to your inner feelings when you suspect someone's intentions are not genuine.
- Self- Affirmation and Love: Regularly affirm your worth and celebrate your achievements. Engage in self-care rituals the reinforce your confidence and self-love, making it easier to deflect negative energy from others.
- Spiritual Cleansing: Incorporate cleansing practices into your routine to cleanse your aura and maintain your energetic balance.
- Protective Charms/ Amulets: Use protective items or amulets to ward off negative energy and attract positivity.
- Community and Support: Seek out a support community of like-minded individuals. Communal support is vital for spiritual and emotional health. Surround yourself with people who uplift and encourage you.

Your successes are a reflection of your hard work and divine favor. By integrating spiritual practices and maintaining strong self-belief, you can navigate these relationships with resilience and grace.
The path to self-fulfillment may be challenging, but it is profoundly rewarding. Trust in your journey, honor your spirit, and shine brightly. Those who genuinely care for you will celebrate your triumphs, while others will fade into the background. Stay true to yourself, and let your light guide your forward.
