Frenemies are present everywhere; at office, school, college, community. It is necessary to be aware of such people who are responsible for ruining the relationships. They cannot be avoided but effort must be made not to involve them.
Frenemy is word formed by joining two different words "friend" and "enemy". Every day in life, an individual comes across people who are smart enough to come close through material or non-material means. It is difficult to recognize them initially but time and behavior makes it possible to know them.
It is important that one knows them as soon as possible. Their behavior, attitude and way of speech play a great role to know them. Sometimes a factor like closeness (in fact, fake) can help know their intentions.
One must be careful and ensure that they do not come close to best friends. This might ruin the long-term relationship that you have with friends. Ensure they are not introduced to the friends' lot.
It is essential to keep segregation between personal and professional lives. Frenemies might exist in office place. Keep personal life out of the reach of these people by avoiding conversational topics on home spats or bickering.
While in conversation, it is good to talk on matters like politics, season, TV programs, child's school and other. Topics unrelated to family and home will definitely ease the discussions. Personally, you are assured that nothing close to family is the talk of the conversation.
It is often seen that a lot of people like them hide their true self. Concealing behind the facade, they might interfere in personal affairs. They are likely to speak certain things that might be a cause of interference or intentional hurt. It is important to keep to oneself instead of making it an issue or indulging in quarrels with them.
Materialistic life has brought people together. It has given rise to a social stratum called frenemies. If people like them become a part of everyday life, it is definitely an end to peace and harmony in relationship.
