Is the enemy of your friend also your enemy?

Do you believe on this? What if your BFF hated someone,will you instantly hate the same person as well? It is quoted that friends - one soul dwelling in two bodies, does this make sense too? What if your bestfriend hated another friend of yours?!

in practice .. YES. it always happens that you share the feelings and emotions of your friend. BUT, in economics and business and POLITICS, it is always the opposite. When it is the situation of hunting for OPPORTUNITIES, .. one will not give any value to the feelings of one's friends.. and, will in fact, find it easy to tackle .. if it is the friends' enemy. ... some platform to take off the relationship...
lols.
thanks for a great topic.

There is nothing good and bad,thinking makes so.Let my bf hate my friend but how comes i can hate her.It was not the misunderstanding created between me and my friend but it was between my bf and my friend.She will be my usual friend until and unless my bf says stop to be friend with her.To some it can happen but to some it won't.

it depends actually. you can hate who you want to hate,but it's just coincidence that of course you are best friends,you can understand each other well. and since you are best friends you have lots of things to understand and blend well so it will come to a point where you can also hate who she hates.

Not at all times. If you think your friend is overreacting, you need to let him know first that not making him your enemy does not affect your friendship at all. Then, try to explain to him that what happened between them has nothing to do with you and your friendship with your friend. You only do this if you feel that your friend is wrong. Tell him that you're just being a friend to him that's why you are just telling the truth.
If in case this will bring a wall between your friendship, then you may have to think twice about how he feels for you. Let him be and later on, he will realize your point.
Such things happen to friendships. It has to be tested through time and situations.
