Enemies and then friends

Post Reply New Topic

Tell me some examples of times when someone used to be an enemy and became a friend.

Or used to be a friend and became an enemy

Lately tattle tale tom has been acting like he wants to be my "friend"


I am always exhausted and don't have the bandwidth to play "frenemies"

tattletale tom and i have been working in the same dept four and a half years.

he's my work wife.

enemy frenemy friend spouse

coworker
brothers

familiarity breeds contempt

maybe realized that i am FTM and that's why i am too weak to load eighty pound concrete. or maybe FES talked to him. it could be a lot of different reasons why his attitude toward me has changed positively recently. he didn't tell me why and i don't have the guts (the nerve) to ask. and then he acts like i should be grateful and happy to be his "friend". maybe b/c @ home depot, disciplinary action falls off after six months. or maybe b/c i have zero "friends" inside or outside home depot and maybe tattletale tom is the closest thing.

it's weird. all the other coworker relationships that i have had, have not had nearly as much drama/emotion/theater as tattletale tom. mostly b/c i shy away from drama....

maybe tattletale tom deserves a second chance.

If you want to give tattletale Tom a second chance, then I think you should~

As for my own enemies to friends story: My friends in college introduced me to this girl and initially we hated each other. Like, full on hatred, I want nothing to do with this person. It was mutual too. We talk about it now and it's hilarious how poorly we thought of each other. Anyway, because our friends were friends we couldn't avoid each other all the time and eventually we realized we had a ton in common. Then we became really close friends. She's still one of my closest friends.

A co worker from years ago, who was close to being a work friend one day started to deliberately call me the wrong name; a name that began with the same letter. It was mildly amusing at first, but as the weeks passed, it started to wear a bit thin until it started to get on my nerves and make me angry. Then one I snapped and shouted back at him stop calling me that name and shoved him hard. Didn't really speak after that.

I think nearly everybody who I've felt close to was my enemy at some level before we were friends
