Issue with friend. Need help?
Question by Chris: Issue with friend. Need help?
I have an issue with one of my friends. Okay, so we were chatting online a few weeks ago. I was trying to talk to him because he had this girl issue and I tried to help him. But all he did was abuse and insult me, and tell me to keep my opinions to myself, despite the fact he asked me for my opinion. I got so angry I told him: “Fine, next time do not bother asking for help.” Then I logged off. I have been giving him the cold shoulder ever since. Now he won’t stop harassing me.
Okay, not harassing me, but he won’t leave me alone. I’m constantly receiving SMSs from him saying sorry, saying how much his life sucks, trying to make me feel sorry for him. I know he is talking crap. Using psychological manipulation is his method of getting his way. He has done it with me and other people multiple times and I have fallen for it time and time again. When he told me that stuff, I was like: “Yeah, right. Go tell somebody who gives a damn. I don’t anymore.”
When his little manipulation technique doesn’t work, however, he gets throws tantrums and gets verbally abusive. He told me that I should go f*** myself and my family should burn in hell. But then a few days later he is sucking up to me, and when I told him to stop acting like a twelve year old girl and just accept we are no longer friends, he told me that he feels like committing suicide and it will be on my conscience, blah blah blah, and he even threatened to come over to my house unexpectedly. I told him to just accept the fact I want nothing to do with him, but he still won’t.
And there is another issue. He has three Xbox games of mine that I lent to him, and I told him to give it to his aunt (she is married to my uncle, so she is my aunt as well). But she told me he refuses to hand them over until we sorted this issue out. The thing is these games are expensive, so I am just going to say to him either he gives back the game, or else he has to pay for them. Plus they are not rich, but I’ve gotten to the point where I do not care anymore. Either he gives them back, or he pays for them.
I forgot to mention, it does sound a bit silly, but we have known each other for years. He is verbally abusive, selfish and inconsiderate. I was always there when he had a problem, but when I need help he could not give a damn about me. I only stuck with him because he was one of the few friends I had (I made new friends when I started High School last year). I have had enough of his crap and I just want him to leave me alone. Do any of you have advice for me? I just want this to end.
I’m 15, and he is 17, by the way.
