Every time a friend succeeds, I die a little.
A Frienemy (Freh-nah-mee)
1. Friend + Enemy = frienemy
2. A toxic relationship where a person is a friend but subconsciously (or consciously) is jealous of you/ wishes you harm.
When I was growing up, the dynamics of girl relationships was tough! Girlfriends sit with you during recess yet when your back is turned, they try to steal your boyfriend or gossip about you. Girlfriends can be seething with jealous rivalry one minute, and in the next minute, telling you how pretty you look in your new dress.
I do have friends whom I trust, like if i killed someone, i know my best friends F or N would get a shovel and help me dig a hole. (I'm not shitting you)
But I do realise that although I do have some great friends, there are still frienemies lurking around. (I even suspect that some of them leave shitty anonymous comments on my blog even!) Sad and toxic.
Do you have any Frienemies? Have you been double crossed, or betrayed? Are there people around you who are secretly cheering for you to fail?
Are you a frienemy yourself?

But really, you'll never know. I think having an opposite sex as friend is far safer, less to steal and less to be jealous of. I wouldn't say helping someone bury a dead body is a good friend lol but what they do is best for you and yet you need to think for them too cos putting them in a difficult position while they try to help you doesn't make you such a great friend yourself hehe. But! I do believe there are really good friends around, just very rare to find them.
Females are such strange and insecure creatures. If ya too good looking, they ll be wary if ya gonna steal their bfs or if their bfs will take a fancy to you. Has it been hard for you?
I believe that girls are always jealous of another girl and very seldom they'll be true, sincere best friends.
I have met quite a few frenemy in my life, not sure whether it's just me or they are everywhere.
Haha.. honestly, I thought the response would be more like - Get over yourself HJ.. You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you... sorta thing... lol
