A woman has revealed a ‘genius’ method to find out if one of your friends secretly hates you, but it only works on other women.
It’s usually easy to tell when someone dislikes you: they downplay your achievements, inflate your bad qualities, and are often just plain rude to your face.
But Jaci Marie Smithfrom the US, has discovered a niche way to tell when someone is a fox in a chicken coop.
She shared that an enemy in disguise will often give you advice that seems harmless at first, but will hurt you in the long run.
For example, Jaci has beautiful long hair and spends hours a week maintaining it — which is why she was shocked when someone told her she should consider a dramatic haircut.
Jaci shared a video explaining her theory.
“That’s how you find out if someone hates you,” she said.
“If you have really long, beautiful hair, just bring up a scenario where you say, ‘I actually want to cut my hair, should I cut my hair?’
“If they say, ‘Yes, yes, oh my God, cut it off. It would suit you so well!’ then they hate you and pray for your downfall.
‘If you need further confirmation, ask if you should get bangs. If they say yes, cut them out of your life.”
Although Jaci said her theory was based on humor, many women resonated with her revelation.
“I found out one of my ‘friends’ hated me when I realized she never liked or commented on any of my Instagram posts,” one person shared.
“Another thing is they post pictures of you where they look good but you look bad,” one woman said. “It means it bothers them when the attention is on you.”
“You can also tell if they hate you if you have golden hair and they tell you to go brunette – or you have dark hair and they tell you to bleach it,” another added.
“I really wasn’t sure how a girl in my friend group felt about me, so I sent her two options for photos to post on Instagram,” one woman shared. “And she chose the objectively worse one!”

While others said it was ‘exaggerated’ to think someone hates you because they want you to cut your hair.
“I really like short hair,” one woman said. ‘It’s just hair, it grows back! Change and experimentation is healthy.’
“I tell all my friends to cut their hair because it’s so chic,” another added.
“Many people look better with short hair – and if your hair is nice, the length shouldn’t matter,” a third wrote.
