A frenemy is a person who you act like is your friend, but you don’t really like. Usually the feeling is mutual. There is a thin line between frenemy and enemy. A frenemy doesn’t outright go against you, it’s more sly and should look accidental. They’ve never outright fucked you over, but are an annoyance. This relationship is necessary because you both are involved in certain social circles, and you have mutual friends. For example- I was a bartender for 10 years. Popular bartenders often “guest bartend” at other bars. I often had to work with girls I didn’t really like, but had to be social with in order to not mess up our # of bar options.
