"Friends, yet enemies.
A type of relationship whereby parties are silently resentful of and competitive with one another, but who behave superficially as though they are best friends.
The friendship develops because it suits their mutual interests, but parties involved would stab each other in the back in a heartbeat if it suited them.
Common in the relationally aggressive female world, particularly where competition for men is involved."
Frienemies... yeah you know they exist. And I hate them, even the word, it's so stupid. Why do we waste our time being "friends" with someone who would stab you in the back in a heartbeat? It's simple, we're scared. Scared of what people would say, scared of what that person would say about you, or scared of the many secrets people would find out about you for no good reason. Well... all of this has to stop! Take a stand and take those frienemies out of your life! All you have to do is put them in a little box in the back of your mind and pretend they don't even exist. Don't waste your time pretending when you can spend your time living, and not being disturbed by useless people. Maybe that frienemy used to be just a friend, and it's hard for you to let go, but please do. All the hate and pretending to like each other it's eating you alive.
People say that you should keep your friends close but your enemies closer, I think thay are so wrong. Keeping your enemies close would only make you paranoid. But if you keep your true friends closer it would only make you happy.
So why waste your time being paranoid if you could just be happy?
If one were to be your enemy, a person who might be friends with you for all the wrong reasons, then I don't think that counts as a friend. The word friend is used too lightly sometimes. The word enemy is used too lightly sometimes. I think friendships can go to the extent of fighting often. But if you just don't like each other than that cannot be defined as a friend.
