Frienemies, we all have them. They are those people in your life that you still hang out with that are a bit toxic or are bad for you Karma.
I have a couple freinds that have made the transition from friend to frienemy. I'm a glutton for punishment as I can't seem to get them out of my life or completely let them go. This is something I need to work on because it has caused me a ton of aggrivation this past month dealing with a "friend". I've been interacting with them for a volunteer project and this recent spell of 'togehterness' has firmly reminded me the reason why we drifted apart. Yet I keep finding myself responding to invitiations for drinks or coffee out. This particular person is very good at giving out compliments covered in poo. IE- We are working on this volunteer project, I know I did my part really well, yet the compliment that I got was Oh lovely, but .........
Yikes, let me tell you, I will be very happy when this project is done and dusted.

Oh boy, are you in a position where you're consistently exposed to this person through your community/volunteer efforts? I do my best to distance myself from any and all possible toxic influences now that I have more of a choice, hope you can, too!
Wow, have we all been dealing with Frenemies lately, or what? Mine happen to be rela-devils. (Couldn't think of a word for toxic relatives.)
lol @ rela-devils. It's tough to distance yourself from "friends," but it's even harder to put space between you and relatives you'd rather not associate with!
I just got rid of my own frenemy...and it's good!
Good luck with yours!
