Your 'Friend' is a 'Frenemy' (An Enemy in Friend Clothing) If....

Frenemies, we all have them.  It's just that we often totally trust them that we fail to see them for what they really are. A frenemy is usually someone you looked upon as a friend, someone you loved and confided in but who leaves you feeling you are fraternizing with the enemy.  A frenemy will put on a good face when you are around them but, underneath, are seething with hatred, bitterness and resentment for you.

 

It's hard enough to be hated, but when you're hated by someone you trusted, it's a nightmare. The betrayal will cut you to the core.

 

You know your "friend" is a frenemy if:

1. Your "friend" needs you or something from you, you make sure to be there or do it for them. But the moment you need them or something from them, they are never there. 
2. A warning bells always rings, telling you that you should not under any circumstances trust this person but you are unable to pinpoint why.
3.  The comments they make about you are underhanded jabs that leave you feeling worse about yourself than ever.
4. They pretend to be happy for you when things are going well but you can tell the smile doesn't reach their eyes as opposed to when things are going badly for you.  When something positive happens to you, your frenemy downplays it and makes it sound like a fluke.
5. They never rise to your defence when others talk trash about you.
6. They offer you a shoulder to cry on, but something tells you it is because they want to hear and relish in the details of what might have made you cry.
7. You start to notice that you are never able to say how you truly feel when you talk to them because you don't want to piss them off.
8. You find they talk trash about you behind your back and will pursue every opportunity, with gusto, to run you down.
9. They make you think only their opinion counts by making yours seem childish.
10. They never bother to call or return your calls; unless when they need something from you.

The above are a few signs you need to look out for in order to protect yourself before you give too much to someone, only to be stabbed in the back later.
