LonelyVocalist Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 I'm tired of a certain friend I have that always bums off of me. He pisses me off; whenever I give him a ride, he never contributes gas money, hasn't paid me back for anything, and when I do give him a ride, it's almost always so he can go find someplace to get drunk and stoned (under the pretense of something else). He always whines about not having enough money or a job when he never applies himself or stops smoking weed for maybe acouple months yet he always complains about being stuck at "square one". Now, I blame myself because I'm too nice to people, but for some reason, I can't not do a favor for him... It's cause I know how it feels to be left out. Seriously, I was (and still am) the guy nobody wants around (unless I have drugs and alcohol, which I almost never had money for). The guy who will go outta his way for his friends, yet if he points out one of their flaws, they act like I'm the one doing the wrong-doing, and has been left out of more parties, activities, adventures, etc. than most people will ever know. Thus, it's hard for me to leave others out, no matter HOW much they deserve it. I just don't wanna end up coming 'round full circle or losing more friends. As pathetic as it sounds, I'm just tired of doing things for other people only to come out as a slightly more used and unappreciated person. Too much more of this, I'm gonna turn into what I hate... I'll turn back into a hermit recluse only leaving the house to do necessary things (buy groceries, go to work, search for a second job). I'll be back to where I was before I treaded water a bit and decided it was safe to come out. Ugh, sometimes people get on my nerves. /END RANT.
Kenyth Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 I think the stuff you seem to think is "normal" behavior for your friends is only normal behavior for the type of people you hang out with. Ditch the drunk/druggie group and start associting with more successful people. Drunks and druggies as a group tend to act the way you descibe. Their priority is their next high, so the guy with the stuff becomes their new best friend, until he runs out.
