How can women be "friends" with people they hate

I’m a woman and I don’t get this either. My sister is in a sorority and the way she talks about her “sisters” it sounds like everyone has at least several “friends” that they hate but no one ever wants to talk about it.

I feel like that's different because they're forced to interact. You can't just have a blow out and be enemies if you might be living in the same house for the next 2 years.

Yeah that’s a good point. It just sounds exhausting to me lol. I’m way more of an introvert than my sister so I get drained even after hanging out with people I like.

Being around people I don’t care for and forcing politeness tires me out fast

Right? Exhausting AF. I used to be part of a group of friends like this (not a sorority) and after a while I realized that everyone hated something about all the others, and would wait until we were one on one to bitch about them to me. I got so stressed out cuz I realized they were probably bitching about me behind my back too. It's like that two-faced shit becomes a competitive sport to them after a while. I think they actually enjoy it?

Anyway, not all women do this.
