Taking Advantage

omegatweeter by omegatweeterOG 2003 · Sep 13, 2003 · 100 views · ·

hey guys. k i have this friend, and him and i get along sometimes. but then other times he throws insults just to make me hurt, blames me for things when i believe either both of us or he was at fault, and when we argue i just wanna stop it before it gets worse, but he just wants to escalate the tension with me. he's done this a few times before, but i forgave him and moved on, forgot about it. but then he goes and does things on purpose to hurt me again. it's like he's taking advantage of my kindness and mercy. wat should i do? should i tell him i don't need someone like him constantly putting me down and just end communication with him for now until he matures? or should i just forgive him again? thanks for any advice

hm. don't take crap like that from people. i know you're a nice sensetive young man, but--here's a question: can you take him? jk. tell him to knock it off, if he doesn't then ditch him. like it's nothing.

hug him. for like 45 minutes straight. just dont let him go. he'll totally change his attitude afterward.

i'd say a little of everything. tell him he's hurting your feelings. forgive him. and move on. because why would you want someone who treats you like crap on purpose to be one of your good friends?

i'll be your friend. :)

Yo Pete..I'm really sorry for treating you that way, I'll try harder to be nice.

But seriously, friends don't treat friends like that. Have you pointed out to him that he hurts you when he says stuff, because maybe he just thinks it's all fun in games. I had a friend like this once and I didn't really say anything in retaliation I just kinda went along and distanced myself from them. I didn't want to get into a major conflict because they weren't a bad person they were just being real immature. It's hard because you get hurt and you get mad and there's so many things you can say.

yeah i've told him several times how he hurts me, but eventually it's like he forgets and hurts me for fun. i agree, it is tough. there's a lot of mixed emotions.
