Author counterman Posted September 12, 2010 Author Posted September 12, 2010 there will never be a need to pull a tom cruise. They likely won't treat you like that much **** and if you did that assume your friendship is gone (It would be you ending it not them). No need to go out in smoke. His attitude towards that random guy who decided that being a complete ******* just because it COULD be funny was completely justified. Tom Cruise is a person. He doesn't deserve to be randomly treated like **** (he expressed the reasons pretty clearly himself). His demeanor in the entire thing is what's key. He didn't look bad at all, despite the fact he was the one sprayed in the face. The other guy looked TERRIBLE. He looked like a complete *******. Why? Tom Cruise didn't give a **** the guy did that. He was just letting him know how much of a dick he was. He wasn't angry. Emotional. Whatever. Didn't actually bother him. He probably spent 3 minutes of his life thinking about that guy. That's the key. You give them a little **** very calmly. I never thought of it that way, even though I thought his reaction was justified. But that explains why he explained to that guy what was so wrong about what he did, so that that guy would not do it again and realise where he went wrong. That's the thing. I have come so close to ending the friendships, then I thought better of it. Things go okay for a little while and then it goes back the same. These guys are friends with my other friends and I certainly don't want to cause any tension or conflict within our group. I think about giving them a talk and I have before, but he just doesn't get it. He knows how I feel about that crap he does. He even complained before that I was not spending enough time with him and others... er, did you ever wonder why? The response I think I would get is that he will again try to convince me that I am wrong and it is my fault that these things happen or, to put it simply, "you brought it upon myself". I think it is unreasonable, though, he thinks I should stay true to him and stick by him even when he is the way it is and, when I hang out with others, he tries this reverse psychology crap. I have noticed the dynamic with other people and I do realise the type of people he has "issues" with. It ALWAYS has something to do with a guy getting a girl. Even one of our friends, he gets together with this girl and I am really happy for him. Guess what my friend says? "I hope she breaks up with him". Another of my friend gets together with his first ever girlfriend, my friend says "well, he has asked out many girls... and been rejected so many times though" (meanwhile he is bragging about his 100% success rate). One of my other friend asks one of our mutual girl friends out, and now both of my friend hates this guy. You can't blame him for making an initiative and asking girls out, you know? You see the trend? Now that I think about it... he's going to shoot himself in both feet sooner or later. I am not having any part of it. Instead of focusing on improving himself, he is in his own reality where he is already perfect and feels the need to justify his "superiority" and validate it constantly. A calm talk it will be if it ever comes to that. But most likely, I am just gonna hang out with others for a bit. counterman, I think it's time for you to try to have sex with your friend's gf. :lmao: I laughed so hard when I read this! Have sex with my friend's girlfriend even before he has? That's gonna be a blow to his ego.
Author counterman Posted September 16, 2010 Author Posted September 16, 2010 Well, it made a huge difference. Instead of laughing things off and playing along, when I put on a serious look and just ignore when things are said. They quickly change the subject and actually watch what they say. It has been pleasant so far. No talk or even a mention of "dating" or anything of the like. Thanks dispatch3d.
