Frenemies. The friends you wish you didn’t have but somehow they always manage to find their way into your life. You get so used to this sort of arrangement that you start creepily enjoying it and before you know it, they have managed to make you just like them- TWO FACED.
I used to cringe at the thought of a person being two-faced, thinking I was much better than to get involved with any of that tasteless crap. Yet I now find myself having frequent coffees with my frenemy, making backhanded low-blows her way while trying to dodge the ones she sends my way.All the while asking myself why why why?
And mind you, this is a talent acquired with time. From close observation I know that many people here and elsewhere function this way. It’s passive aggressiveness at it’s best and it’s contagious. It’s the over-enthusiastic “HIIIII” that you hear yourself blurt out when you meet the frenemy and it’s the ” **shrug** why do I even bother with her?” bitching session when she leaves.
Guys are baffled by this talent us girls have. They just don’t understand why “girls” are ” like this.” But really? Why? Why can’t we just rid ourselves of the people that annoy us and simply surround ourselves with real quality? Have we just surrendered to what’s available or do we all just enjoy being nasty? Or, are we afraid of removing the FR in Frenemy and having enemies? Thoughts? Bisoux

This reminded me of Serena van der Woodsen vs. Blair Waldorf (Go Blair!).
Frenemy= Friend + Enemy
but how can you be a friend AND an enemy at the same time? Pick a side and stay there! I don’t get how people can be fake and kiss each other then talk shit about each other!
But Ivy, at least u have some balls to admit that you’re ALSO mean to her. Piece of advice…toss her out of ur life, girl. A frenemy ain’t a good friend.

Maybe because girls care more about not hurting someone’s feeling that they don’t tell them to get the hell away, or F.#@! OFF … maybe.

it’s always a good idea to keep ur friends close n ur enemies even closer… if only i could convince myself to apply this theory
Zeina Halabi says
trust me Ivy if girls here stopped doing that noone would speak to anyone anymore! hahahahahaha
I do it very much to and i got used to it because of work business etc…..
Ghas says
oh my god my gf does it all the time to her friends and I always ask her why she is friends with them. Guys are very straight forward we dont have the time to play with such games you girls like to play. All girls are twofaced

Because most don’t have the balls to handle what would come their way if that HIIII bordered more on a look from the pits of hell…
Libnaniya says
I hate this mentality in Lebanon if you dont like someone you should just let them feel it. life is too short for this fake shit and this entire place functions this way and it makes me sickkk
Sean says
guys don’t do that… we simply punch the other guy in the face hahahahha 😀
Danielle says
Yeah, I used to have frenemys but now..my life is too busy to spend time with people who I don’t really care about. Here’s to getting rid of frenemys and only making time for real friends! Cheers!
Potter fan says
I say hello and kiss and sometimes talk.. yet I found out he makes me feel bad so I limited him out of my life.. Guys have frenemies too ..

moving so much made me realize it’s hard to make awesome friends, especially if you tend to be very picky. And if people wrong you, they’re not immediate enemies, sometimes it’s best to forgive, I often act arrogant, and wonder why the hell do my friends put up with me?
