View Full Version : I'm afraid I was a bad friend...

I have many friends and I've always tried to be a good friend, a nice person, but there are these two guys... I just can't explain what happened with them!! Like "WTF?!", I don't know they are both crazy or if I'm the problem!!

I used to hang out with them both at the same time, in a trio... Let's call them Friend 1 and Friend 2.

Friend 1: We used to talk almost everyday, he would always give me good advices! I used admire him because he was very smart! I told him that I was interested in Friend 2, and he said he would help me with it... But I don't know of he really helped, he kind of made it more difficult! Sometimes I would thought that was because he was in love with me, since he was always texting me and he once said to me that he was in love with a girl that he knew she would never like him, and that she was someone that I knew. I told him "hey, never say never! Can I help you to get her?" and he just refused... Man, I think I friendzoned without even notice! But sometimes I thought that he actually was in love with Friend 2... REALLY, he was always giving him presents, writing texts about him, inviting him to go to his home, he would say he was his only male friend! And he once told me that he had kissed a boy in the past... The problem with Friend 1 is that he used to tell me stories about things that happened in his school, and when I asked other people from his school about that stories, they were like "What? That never happened!", "that's not true". He introduced me some of his virtual friends and I would talk to them, but once I was just derping in my tumblr when I saw someone reblogging a picture of a guy who looked A LOT like one of these friends, and when I googled the picture and discovered that his friends were facebook fakes! After that I just gave up on our friendship, that was too creepy for me! A few time after the accident I started getting a lot of anonymous messages on tumblr, they were nice in the begin, asking about how I was feeling, but in the end I received some really offensive messages and I just had to delete my tumblr. I think that was Friend 1 that sent me them, but I'm not 100% sure.


Friend 2: My almost lover. The reason of most of my recent topics here, and of my sadness. He was very moody. We would talk for hours, he was such a gentleman! Friend 1 told me that he said that I was very pretty and that maybe someday he would try with me. When I ended my friendship with Friend 1, I told him why, but for some reason he and the other guy continued to be friends :what: Our problems began in the beginning of the year, when he just came to me asking to give him time, for no reason! I was like "But we are just friends!! Why are you doing it to me?", and he said that just wanted to be a little far from me, nothing pessoal, he just wanted to organize things in his mind. I was desolated and I even blamed Friend 1, but he denied many times. It was a huge confusion. One day I was so stressed that I yelled at Friend 1 saying that he was creeping me, and it made things much worse with Friend 2. In the end, I just gave him the time that he wanted. We started to talk again in July, and in August, we started doing a course together. My feelings for him started to grow like crazy in a point that I would always flirt with him, and he seemed ok with it. It was like the confusion never happend! And them I decided to move to the next step: In 29th of September, when we were saying goodbye, I kissed him and he kissed me back, we spent like 2 minutes kissing and it just stopped because someone called my name. After the kiss, he texted me saying that he couldn't correspond because he liked other "person" (PS: he really just said "person"). I mean, he let me flirt with him, let people make jokes about us being together, kissed me for not a short time...We had some arguments and he asked me to give him some time, saying that he was confused. I forced him to tell me what was going on because I wasn't understanding a thing and I was getting real mad at him, and them he said that he was with another person and that maybe we couldn't be friends anymore because that "would end up in tragedy". Since them, I'm trying to make him change ideia and to restore our friendship, I let a big message on his facebook and I don't know if he is ignoring me or if he just still haven't seen it :/ If he doesn't want my friendship anymore, I'm not going to force him though.


So, it's me or it's them? Really... These two are the reason of my actual depression, I do have other friends, but I use to love them a lot, I just don't know if I did the right thing! I feel like I'm some kind of fail everytime I remember about them :cry:

trust me your not a bad friend your just misunderstanding yourself, everyone has times when we cause little problems and end up in a pickle, but trust me a bad friend wouldn't even try to keep the friendship they would just use it and tell them to just leave afterwards, your a good person you just need to know that, just let time tell you that and you will feel better :)

With friend 1, I think you jumped out of the way of a train wreck! That's too creepy, too creepy!

With friend 2, you are messing up a lil bit. Just because you're not friends with 1 anymore, doesn't mean he can't be. Friends can be friends with whomever they want. It sucks, but they aren't you and have a completely different relationship to the person in question. Friend 2 had already asked for space (he seems very confused indeed, I can't even understand it) and you respected that, but then hesuggested to end the friendship. So why did you send him a message to try and change his mind? I get saying your piece and wanting closure, but respect his decision no matter how crappy it is for you on the receiving end. He's in a bad place right now and needs to figure himself out. He doesn't want to drag you down in with him or blur the lines anymore with what's going with you. No more messages, no more contact. Just leave him be, if ever he responds to you, see how you feel and evaluate how you both are, go from there.

YEAH!! Sometimes I would be like "Ohh, I miss *friend 1 name*..." but then I remembered about the creepy things he did and it was like "NOOO, I CAN'T, THIS GUY IS CRAZY!!". Seriously, he must have some mental problem, that was one of the creepiest things that ever happened to me!! I just can't understand why Friend 2 didn't find that creepy too, he said at the time that he was a bit angry with me because he thought that I overreact, I was just like "MAN, CAN'T YOU SEE THAT'S CREEPY??! I JUST CAN'T CONTINUE BEING FRIENDS WITH HIM!!"

And I think you are right... I never wanted to lose Friend 2, but he really doesn't seem to be fine. I can't understand some of his atitudes, but I can feel that's he is not ok, I feel real sad because I would help him if he wanted to be helped by me :/ I should give him space now, maybe one day we could be friends again. Maybe it's not my fault at all... He is just not fine, he did the things he did because he is not fine, he is being an asshole to me now maybe just because he is not fine, no matter how I tried to be a good friend to him :cry: I shall let him free.

Thank you very much Free Fall, I've always admire your advices here on VT!!
