Do you have a nemesis?

[EddG 554]

Past-me.

He keeps making stupid mistakes which mess up what I am doing.

Although past me can do good things as well...

[Starlight Fan 540]

I pissed off my best friend, and now she hates me.

So yeah.

 

MAGGIE, IF YOU'RE READING THIS, WHICH YOU CAN'T BE CAUSE YOU HATE PONIES, I'M SORRY FOR BEING ANNOYING (BUT WILL CONTINUE TO BE ANYWAY)

[Moonlight 7,290]

There's around 23 people on here who have earned that title from me.

 

IRL however, I do have a few, namely my ex who said some less than stellar things after dumping me, including but not limited to: 'I could care less whether you lived or died', 'I absolutely hate you at this point', and 'will you shut the hell up for once?'

 

Safe to say we are no longer on speaking terms.

 

There was another girl who called me a bitch in gym class because I wanted her to play basketball correctly (Even the teacher called her out), but I laughed at her while she was crying some time so that basically signifies enemies.

[Invincible 2,092]

I have one. We are very different; i suppose this difference between us is what causes this animosity. We tried to be friends before; it's impossible. We just can't be around each other.

[Clawdeen 20,239]

Yes! My coworker/boss. One second we’re getting along and the next we’re fighting.

 

I tend to produce more than he does. Not that I’m keeping track of his numbers and comparing them to mine to make sure I do more than him every day. 
 

He might have been handed the leadership role but I’m the queen bee and this is my hive. 

[Ocean Breeze 5,199]

Luckily I don't, and I really don't ever want to have one either.

Guess I'm just too kindhearted.

[Splashee 28,593]

Yes, neighbors. Doesn't matter who, they are all evil

[They call me Loyalty 1,952]

Yeah, it's called "me". I call him memesis.

Same here.

There's also a family member I don't like to be around much. They aren't a bad person, really, but they always put a lot of pressure on me when it comes to my future.

[J.J 929]

Some ppl consider me to be "their nemesis", but they are just butthurt losers upset that I told the truth about them, I don't really like entertaining grudges with ppl I don't really like/want in my life. It's their beef, we can agree to disagree, I am actually very friendly, they just don't like the reality of their own situation so they pretend I'm to blame for their hang ups/insecurities. We "could" be cool but they insist I'm the problem not seeing the contradiction of them just "wanting" me to be this adversarial role. I'm actually the one that's cool here, other ppl just want to elevate their level of self relativity to me to take attention away from their insecurities. Basically hated for telling the truth, it has nothing to do with who I am as a person. I don't need to be gaslight by ppl who don't thoroughly enjoy my company. I stay in my lane, I focus on my life, I try to seek out real friends/meaningful relationships, if you want to gossip/shit talk and just perpetually pretend you don't hate yourself by hating me, that's on you, but I see you for who and what you are.

Yeah, I know that very well, unfortunately. Also, the thing about being put under a lot of pressure. So, maybe they really care about it. Sometimes it is much better to have someone instilling responsability, than having nobody giving a damn about your future. If this is the case, and that person cares about you. I promise you will be likely to thank them in the future for it.

I hope it gets better for you, either way.

You're right about that. I do have the feeling at least that once I start making more independent decisions for myself, they'll back down and start to take the pressure off.

Thanks.

[Jackleberry 1,926]

I have one of those, yes. It's me.

No, but seriously, I had this one friend who made me feel like I could trust them, like I could finally open up to someone for the first time in my life. Let's just say I no longer feel that way.

[Misty Shadow 8,195]

In real life, no. On the internet...also no. However, I have been seriously hurt, backstabbed, and toyed around with by two e-friends now who both tossed me aside for absolutely asinine reasons. Both times, it had to do with me not liking something shitty they were doing to another e-friend of mine and they couldn't take it. The first one is long gone from my life now, the other one has probably unfortunately manipulated a few people that would've otherwise been cool with me with lies, but if they were to be persuaded so easily, they wouldn't have truly been my friend.  

[DubWolf 18,476]

There’s people I’ve decided are unfriendly towards me and so I cannot reciprocate with any kindness or warmth. I can’t call them my nemesis because it just seems … closing off, unforgiving, almost like you want to have them as a nemesis. Plus I’m sure they’re a great person, just not with everybody. Door’s always open to make amends…

I wonder if people detect that coldness…

This guy is my nemesis:

A no talent hack who gets paid millions to ruin great sci-fi! 

[EpicEnergy 23,244]

I don't have one, at least not anyone but myself. I am my worst enemy.

[Wingnut 7,018]

Yes in fact I have several.  Luckily none of them are a factor in my life now.  

[ZiggWheelsManning 13,111]

Best candidate as my nemesis, New York Yankees fans  

[tsukuyomi 81]

Yeah, kinda, probably I think. It's a girl I know irl who's in a similar friend group I'm in. She was stalking my Twitter so I blocked her but it didn't stop til I locked my account. She would take very similar selfies as me, but the same game I did a few days later, buy the same plushies as me, all while claiming I'm a b****?? It really made no sense but it's mostly stopped now.

I agree 1000% This parasite knows only how to rip off the work of others, call it his own, and utterly destroy it. How he can continue to have a career is staggering. He destroyed Star Wars, Star Trek, and last I heard he was targeting another of my all time favorites: Your Name/Kimi No Na Wa. The lattermost, being a perfect movie, doesn’t need to be rendered into live action and screwed over by this talentless piece of sh*t. But hey, it’s another successful movie with a built-in audience that he can leach off of.

Others that belong in this category are Michael Eisner, and pretty much every Disney CEO since.

Star Wars part really got onto my nerves. I personally believe that now franchise is again in good condition (a bit too fan servicy, but at least not sOmeHOw pALpAtinE hAs retUrnED), but I still can't believe how cheap his idea for episode IX was. Rey was treated poorly, ending up in shadow of another "big" Star Wars character instead of creating her own legacy as she was given chance by, otherwise unpopular ep VIII. Palpatine's return was half a**ed to say the least and pretty much ruined Luke's and Anakin's deeds from episode VI. The worst thing is - it's canon now and I don't think anyone, not even Filoni could fix it properly. I still remember how happy I was with Disney scrapping EU, because that meant scrapping endless resurrections of Palpatine. Boy, did that opinion of my NOT age well. 

 

As for my nemesis? I'd say today it's Bobby Kotick. The One Ring of gaming industry. Literally channeling all that's worst about gaming these days. Grinding workers into insanity, sexual abuse being tolerated, no regard for the art at all and focus on sheer gains, toxic attitude and lack of knowledge about the market, being in it literally only for money.
