What is a “Frenemy
She’s the Veronica to your Betty, the Tom to your Jerry, and the Heather #1 to your Heather #2. She invites you shopping when your credit card is maxed out, brings you cupcakes when you’re trying to cut back on calories, and brags about her fabulous, very important job when you’re barely staying afloat in the corporate shark tank. Basically, she takes sick pleasure in your pain.”
From: Friend or Frenemy? A Guide to The Friends You Need and The Ones You Don’t by Andrea Lavinthal and Jessica Rozler
For most people, a frenemy is someone you call a friend, but in truth they drive you crazy and leave you feeling emotionally drained. Frenemies come in different varities. There are "black holes” who bring constant drama and are always in crisis. There are frenemies who'd rather hear about how miserable you are than hear about the successes in your life. Then there are the fair-weather frenemies who only want to see you when they're single, and ditch you as soon as they pick up with a new guy.
So how do you get rid of a frenemy? Pick up the book and find out!
