How To Deal With A "Frenemy"

At some point in most of our lives whether in highschool , college or even in our adulthood we have experienced a frenemy or two. Webster's dictionary defines the term as "one who pretends to be a friend but is actually an enemy." the urban dictionary defines the term as "the type of friend whose words or actions bring you down(whether you realize it as intentional or not) the type of friend you ought to cut off but don't cause they're nice , good or cause you've had good times with them."

Personally I like to define them as added on negative baggage that isn't needed in your life. Most of us will notice the haterish or pessimistic behaviors in these so called friends but will try to ignore it. But over time the behavior worsens and you start to question yourself like "why am I even still associating with this person." sometimes we aren't able to pen point what the person's underlying issue is with us and most times there isn't really an issue it's just something about you they just don't like or envy.

When you begin to notice behaviors you dislike in a friend you should approach the issue head on and communicate how your feeling if you don't see any change in the friend's behavior then you have a frenemy on your hands and it's best to just cut ties completely with that person.
