As for the 4 signs Your Friend Is Really a Frenemy & why that hurts more than a mean girl: -They’re a selective cheerleader & will only cheer for you if it makes them look good -Otherwise they’ll go silent when you succeed -They stay close enough to benefit from you (status, invites, access) while also keeping you in “your place” with backhanded compliments or subtle digs. -They secretly prefer you struggling. They feel closer to you because they feel superior when you’re down but flip when you start doing good.
