Frenemies.... you can't avoid them

So you think you have more friends than you have enemies or more enemies than you have friends. But guess the correct case would be having far more frenemies than both friends and enemy. Now there isn’t any lord Voldemort in your life so that you can tag someone as pure enemy, friends may be there as shown in movies, but one can never know what they think about you. But frenemies, they are everywhere, quite responsible person, as they have to act like friend in front of you and enemies behind your back.

Now, how to identify a frenemy? The problem is that, you can never identify them unless someone else reveals their true colors. A frenemy, no matter how dumb and stupid he is in real life, is always at peak of wisdom when he is playing his game against you. A frenemy has excellent pretending and faking skill and they never give rise to any situation so that you or anyone else can point their finger on them.

So, how to solve this growing painful problem that can’t be identify as it has no visible symptoms. For this we have to look at the origin of frenemies. Frenemy usually originate from misunderstandings. Misunderstandings originate when either you have not given enough space and confidence to your friends, so that they can talk with you anytime or you didn’t choose right friends who can’t trust you no matter what you do. Frenemies multiply like deadly viruses. They keep on influencing other people and soon you have a large mass against you and you have no idea of it.

So only 2 precautions could be taken if you want to fight or better say avoid frenemies. First, give a close place to only those people in your life whom you can trust and they can trust you in return. Second, avoid misunderstandings and try to clear things as soon as possible as you can. People knowing you better can hurt you best, as they know exactly where to hit so be careful people. Even true friends can’t save you or make you aware of true frenemies.
