You’d be surprised to know that sometimes they’re closer to you than people who genuinely support you. These people are often more interested in you than those you care about or admire. It sounds strange, but your haters are drawn to you because they see something in you that they don’t have. This is something I want you to be aware of so you don’t get caught up with these deceptive individuals. They’re lurking, trying to get close because you have qualities they wish they had. Whether it’s your confidence, talent or something else, it stands out to them and they’re drawn to it, even if they’d never admit it.

So as you keep moving forward, be aware of who’s around you. Some people may not be there for the right reasons, and knowing that can help you stay one step ahead. Sometimes, people get close to you because they want something they see in you. They might act friendly, smile a lot and make you feel special. You might even think, wow, this person is so nice or genuinely interested in me. But there’s something in you they want for themselves, something they feel they’re missing. It could be your confidence, energy or uniqueness that draws them in. Now, if you’re slow to open up to them, or if you don’t give them the attention they expect, things start to change.

Suddenly, their true feelings surface. They might become cold, distant or even show frustration, and you’re left wondering, what happened? Just a little while ago, they seemed so into me. They might act as if you’re suddenly the enemy, and it feels confusing because everything was good just moments before. Here’s a truth I’ve come to realize. A lot of the people who seem like fans, who follow your posts, like your photos, and seem to keep up with everything you do, they’re often the ones who are your hidden critics. They watch closely, not out of genuine support, but because they want to stay updated on your life.

They may appear supportive on the outside, but in reality they’re just keeping tabs. So while you may think you’re surrounded by people who admire you, keep in mind that not everyone has pure intentions. Many people who seem like they’re in your corner are actually keeping an eye on you for reasons that aren’t entirely positive. Whether they’re liking your posts or showing up in your life, be mindful. Not every smile or compliment comes from a place of genuine admiration. Sometimes it’s simply because they want to see what you’re doing, keeping close to you to understand what makes you unique, even if they don’t truly wish the best for you.

Some people keep you close, not out of genuine friendship, but because they’re curious and want what you have. They’ll smile, laugh, and act like they’re on your side. You might think, wow, they’re so supportive, but deep down they’re watching closely, picking up on every detail about you. They want to know what makes you stand out and what drives your success. When these people can’t figure you out, they try to manipulate you just to stay close. They’re always analyzing, trying to understand your routine, your habits, and what makes you extraordinary. They read you like a book, noticing every small thing you do and say, storing it all away.

They pay more attention to your life than even you do, remembering details you’ve already forgotten. Sometimes they’ll even act like they know you better than you know yourself. They might recall what you wore last week, down to the colors and pockets on your clothes, while you barely remember wearing it. These people are so invested in keeping tabs that they know the smallest details, from how you look to how you act. They’re not genuine fans or supporters, they’re just trying to build a story about you. They gather information, twist it in their minds, and watch your every move.

You might think they’re showing love by following your posts and liking your photos, but often it’s just to keep an eye on you. They admire you from afar, but once they get close, they start showing who they really are. You may have experienced this before, people who seemed supportive from a distance turn cold or critical once they’re in your circle. They act confused about what you do, asking questions they already know the answers to, playing dumb just to get you to explain things. It’s all an act, because in reality, they already know everything about you. They admire your life, but can’t handle the light you shine up close.

When they see the blessings and the energy surrounding you, it stirs something in them that’s hard for them to hide. They see that you’re putting in real effort, the kind that isn’t quick or easy, like tossing something in the microwave. You’re actually making things happen from scratch, giving your best and putting in the work. They can’t match that, so when they realize the level of effort you put into your goals, they might start feeling intimidated or even resentful. They think, wow, I could never keep up with that, and instead of admiring you, they start disliking you.

Here’s a word of advice, trust your gut when you sense someone might not have good intentions. If you feel that someone is being sneaky, fake or manipulative, listen to that instinct. Many people end up in bad situations because they ignore these feelings, convincing themselves, no, they’re my friend, they wouldn’t do that. But deep down, jealousy or envy can change people, even those close to you. Sometimes, people can only pretend to be genuine for so long before their true colors show. The act eventually slips, and when it does, they reveal who they really are. They might smile and say nice things, but if your instincts are telling you something’s off, don’t ignore that.

No matter how friendly they seem, trust yourself. These types of people may try to get close, acting like they support you and have your back. But deep down, your instincts often pick up on their jealousy and hidden resentment. It’s not about what they say to your face, it’s about how they feel underneath it all. So if you ever feel that vibe from someone, don’t brush it off. Sometimes, we ignore our gut feelings because we want to believe the best in people. But remember, true support doesn’t come with jealousy or hidden resentment. Keep trusting your inner sense.

It’s often right when it comes to spotting who’s really for you and who’s not. Take a close look at people’s behavior, their actions reveal their true feelings. Watch how they treat you, what they do beyond just what they say. Actions speak louder than words and they’ll always show you what’s really in someone’s heart. This is a lesson that’s guided me well and it’s one of the reasons I’ve reached success. It’s simple, observe actions to know where someone stands. If their actions leave you feeling uneasy, like they’re unreliable or inconsistent, trust that feeling. Don’t waste your time with people who don’t truly appreciate or value you.

When you’re around people who genuinely care, you won’t have to guess how they feel. Real connections don’t leave room for doubt, you’ll just know if someone truly supports you. For example, in relationships, if someone likes you, they’ll show it clearly. If they make excuses or you have to chase them for attention, let them go. They’re not worth it. A person who truly cares will put in the effort. They’ll reach out, make plans and show up for you without you having to ask. Real friends and partners do things for you without expecting something in return. They won’t only be around when it benefits them or ask you to handle everything.

But if someone constantly takes and never gives back, they’re only there for themselves. These people aren’t really on your side, they’re just there to get something out of being close to you. When you let people into your life, especially those who don’t truly support you, their jealousy eventually surfaces. They can admire you from a distance, but bringing them into your inner circle often reveals hidden resentment. That’s why it’s important to set boundaries, keep those who genuinely care close, and let the rest admire from afar. Remember, not everyone needs to be in your life to show you respect or admiration.

Keep people at a distance if they don’t uplift you. Save your energy for those who truly love and support you. That’s all I got for you. Stay smart, take care of yourself, and I’ll see you in the next video. Peace. [tr:trw].
