mortensorchid Posted July 3, 2010 Posted July 3, 2010 Last night I walked into a bar after coming from a very stressful economics final. I wanted a little unwind time before heading back home to do some more homework. Big mistake, I bump into a couple friends. One, I am sorry to say, likes to tell others how I am looking for a bf, but it has to be a trophy man not just a regular guy. I said that was not funny and I didn't need to hear this. Suddenly, my friend's bf said that they had three guys in mind they wanted to fix me up with. His sister has three brothers, one is completely deaf and void of all social skills, the other two are twin 40 year old virgins who live at home with her mom and read comic books all day. I said thanks but I wasn't interested, but before I could just end this and change the subject, my first friend in question said that someday I will grow up and marry Donald Sutherland. To be more clear, I will grow up and marry a guy like the character Donald Sutherland played in Animal House, the college professor. I said this was not funny and I didn't like him telling me this, everyone was laughing at me. I might have been having a hormone flux, but I left crying. He also made a few comments about my weight, telling me that I am too fat to attract anyone and need to be anorexic. I said I didn't want anyone because I already have enough people telling me how stupid and useless I am outside of my homelife, it doesn't take a lot of effort for someone to show interest in someone else and return a phone call which never seems to happen, and I'll be an old maid someday and I didn't like his constant teasing. He realized he had gone too far and said he was sorry, but I left crying. I'm still angry at him for this.
Gallaxia Posted July 3, 2010 Posted July 3, 2010 Oh sweetie, a real friend does not do any of that. Ever heard the saying "minimize to equalize"? Sounds like they were trying to bring you down to their level.
Gero Posted July 3, 2010 Posted July 3, 2010 All of this seems a bit odd. It seems like this must have been going on for awhile because I doubt that all of this would just come out all of the sudden. I think maybe you need to take a step back and figure out who your true friends are. These people obviously aren't. No one deserves to be treated that way no matter what they look like and you need to realize this and realize that you deserve better. It seems like you might have your own issues and are putting up with people that are treating you like crap. You deserve better than that and I hope you realize that. Don't talk to these people ever again. They're obviously not friends. I hope things work out for you.
Author mortensorchid Posted July 4, 2010 Author Posted July 4, 2010 The one who brought up the whole thing texted me later that night and said he was sorry. I accepted his apology, but told him there would be no more of this talk around others. He agreed.
