offline glasse from Harrisburg (United States) on 2004-02-20 22:12 [#01082906]

So a friend and I are hanging out. We decide to play some
Soul Calibur II. He is talking some mad smack like "You are
gonna get wooped," "I hear your mommy calling," "Yeah, you
don't like that," etc. etc. all in good fun I'm sure. He
wins a few matches in a row but then I start to play harder
and win a couple. He starts accusing me of being cheap and
eventually throws down the controller and accuses me of
getting this male testosterone thing on (just because I play
harder) .

I decide it's time to take him home and most of the car ride
is silent until I can't take it anymore and decide to speak
my mind and call him on it. I ask him what's up with him
being like that and he tells me I don't know when to stop
(kind of like punching someone in the face and then saying
'ok enough'.) He starts cursing at me and I curse back at
him, which I regret, and tell him to get out of my car (this
was maybe a block from his house). He tells me he is
through with me and doesn't want to talk to me again (this
guy is a very close friend who comes to my house several
times a week)

I don't know what to do. I feel like I have a right to
stand up for myself and not walk on eggshells. If I try to
act passive when He gets pissed I get mocked and if I
actually get mad and yell back at him he either storms out
and walks home or decides he never wants to speak to me
again. I am sick of him saying whatever the hell he feels
like when he gets pissed no matter how insulting it is but
the person who ever says anything back better watch out
because they are getting black listed. Of course then I
will have other people I know calling me telling me that he
is talking all kinds of trash on me etc.

I like this guy and want to save our friendship but I
really don't know what to do. I am sick of being a meek
little submissive bitch.

apologize and confront him if you think things aren't just
going to wash over. if he isn't willing to act different
towards you then he isn't much of a friend at all.

I "had" a friend who acted similer, he was a cunt & when I
realized this & forgot about him, my life became much more
pleasant......... he was my so called freind for 6 or 7
years & things used to be cool but people change but it is
almost impossible to change people............ so my advice
is just say fuck it & go here.... Boobah

yes it's a difficult situation when you have to confront
somebody you care about, but sometimes it's inevitable...
and may be even necessary. if your friend values this
friendship and feels respect for you, he should realize that
he has to control his negative emotions.

people often take their friendships for granted, but they
must realize they can lose it.

i dont really know what to do in your case cuz im caught in
the same sorta predicament. i whooped my friends ass at
super smash bros. and each time he got madder, saying not
only i, but the GAME ITSELF was cheap, claiming how its
unfair that he died from a hazard in the game that i could
have easily died from myself. but yeah, he got all pissy,
and i told him to shut the fuck up (with his parents in the
next room no less, who basically also told him to stop being
a bitch) and i dont think he said another word for the next
2 hours. hes been my frined for about 6 years and ive just
learned to ignore his stupid little pussy rants, because all
he does is sit and pout and not say anything, thus not to
difficult to ignore. wait, what was the point of this post
again

You should just get him over and pull down your trousers
shouting "spank me spank me"!..

that'll seal the friendship :)

joking apart glasse, i have had countless friends like that
before. It isn't worth the effort.

Just forget about him and find people who appreciate you
more.

not if that friendship is detrimental to your overall
wellbeing and self-esteem, it's not.

Why hang around with someone that makes you feel like that?

Glasse you are 26? Reading what you wrote I thought you
were about 14 or something. It never ceases to amaze me the
difference in different people from different areas.

I agree with mc_303 as well.

ehm.. that seems like it is just about blowing out some
steam. I have this friend who I've known for 19 years (and,
yes.. I am 19, so I've known him all my life.. literally).

You can't expect a friendship to be all good! We've fought
pretty bad several times, but we usually just resolve it the
next day when we've both thought it through. I'll bet your
friend is feeling bad as well.

I play CeriJC a lot at Soul Calibur II, and I quite often
get annoyed by how often he beats me.....and I've even swung
the controller at him in a fit of rage, through shear
frustration.......but at the end of the day it is just a
game, harmless fun. Mind you Ceri does choose characters
purely on the basis to enrage me...see below :(

Have a chat with your mate Glasse, I'm sure you can sort
things out :)

Yea well that is what makes it even more stupid is because
it was over a video game. But obviously it is not just
about the video game it is alot deeper than that. Any time
there is a disagreement or conflict of any sort I feel like
I am suddenly right on the tip of this volcano and something
that with most people would be really simple to work out and
no big deal has the huge potential to blow up at a moments
notice, like I said before about walking on eggshells. Most
of the time I just turn the other cheek and let it roll off
me but I guess sometimes it builds up and then I just feel
like I'm not going to let him get away with it or whatever
and then it can get pretty bad.

I really don't want to just write him off though. The guy
has a lot of good points. Maybe he is really serious this
time about not wanting to associate with me and of course
then it is out of my hands but if that is the case then I
feel like I poured a whole lot of myself into something that
he is willing to just ditch over not much of anything.

the guy sounds really immature to me

If you want to be his friend then just ignore him when he
gets like that. If not just don;t bother with the guy
