“Frenemies” are never easy to deal with. Sometimes
the person is trying to be the leader of the group and if you are
seen as competition, that can sometimes cause this behavior you
are noticing. The question to ask yourself is: “Does this person add

sometimes distancing yourself from situations like this (while being
respectful) and focusing on those friendships that add value to you is
the way to go. If these friends do add value try having a one-on-one
conversation about why they are going back and forth with you.
