Letter: My frenemies seem to be following me

Published 30 October 2024

From Maggie Cobbett, Ripon, North Yorkshire, UK

David Robson’s piece on “frenemies” set up an intriguing question in my mind. Why is it that people I would really like to see again rarely cross my path, whereas those I would prefer to avoid appear everywhere I go? Some kind of negative attraction at play, perhaps? (19 October, p 40)
