i mean kabadingan yan for a friend who would like to compete with you (subtle or subtle manner)... kasi in my experience, ang next nyan sasaksakin ka na ng talikuran :-) although i don't to judge those friends na part lang talaga ng nature nila to be competitive even with friends and still are good "honest" friends :-) take care Roni

I think I can say I have them -- I have complained about her over my lot I guess last october. Anyways, the thing is, I still have her as my friend but whenever she is into that frienemy mode I try to avoid the person.

Thanks for the BR. I guess, the thing is, i will always be a friend to her, and when she needed someone to wake her up or just slap her (figuratively), that would then be my role.

i dont like friends who competes with me. specially those who competes with attention. i have a friend before who only wanted to apply on a work if i will apply also. i thought it was a sweet gesture but as soon as we got the job she always competes with attentions and competes with the numbers of friends and suitors that i have. she is having fun with the silent competition she builded i just drifted away. i cant stand a friend who is like that i am just wasting mt rime on the friendship i started with her.

i think i have thankfully shed these types around me. and in my current workplace things are good and i don't have these sorts of friends hanging around. i suppose these happen in high school a lot, when people are still insecure and trying to do this one-up man ship thing. if they are really better then there's nothing to be said. but if they are always trying to outshine, then i say stay away from these sorts!

Oh, yes! I now remember a classmate of mine when I was in college. We're not that really close friends, but we sometimes hang out with other friends. There were no words spoken but the tension was there. I knew and felt that we were in some kind of competition. Who got a better grade in a particular subject. Who was praised more by the teacher. Who was more popular with the other classmates. I didn't say anything about this with my other closer friends but it got to a point where I was so irritated with her that I wanted to yell at her. She didn't say anything too but her actions were talking for her. I knew she was trying to get ahead of me with just about everything there was.
