it is more painful to be stabbed in the back by your enemy, or your team-mate?

1. If you mean figuratively, then definitely by your team mate,

at least with your enemy, you're more alert for such a thing, but not with someone who's supposed to be on your side.

Now, if you mean literally, then it wouldn't matter who did the stabbing, it would hurt like hell.

5. By someone you trust.

I've played on teams. Didn't trust everyone on the team. Yes, I know you're supposed to be able to trust your teammates but that isn't always the case. Not in real life anyway.

Teams still have internal struggles that include jealousy, hostile competition within the group, people still try to outshine their teammates, some try to position themselves as the "go-to" in the team. Teammates can be influenced, and not always for the good, by other teammates. Someone is always hot-dogging/showboating.

Just explaining why I chose to say it is more painful to be stabbed in the back by someone you trust instead of by an enemy or teammate.

7. Definitely someone that you think is on your side

that's the worst kind of betrayal.
