Friends or not?

edited May 2011 in Vent
6 years ago, I met my best friend.For 5 and a half of those years, he was the nicest, most caring person I had ever met.<br>We've had our problems, but we always bounce back from them. However, lately he's been being a complete jerk. He puts me down sometimes, and gets snappy. I know you might be thinking, "why do you continue being friends with him?", the reason is that I just can't let him go. He's too big of a part of my life for me to leave our friendship, though I have considered it. He said that the reason he's changed so much is because he's sick of people using him. Well, I have never used him or anybody else for that matter, so why should he treat me like crap?? There are times that the "old him" surfaces, and he's that goofy, sweet guy that I know and love again. I miss him so much, it breaks my heart that he's like this now. I've talked to him about the change and he said that he'd try to think before he acts, but it's only getting worse, not better. Every time we talk, I hardly talk because I'm afraid of getting snapped at, and he gets mad when I don't talk. The times that I do talk, all I get in response is a one or two word reply "yep" or "that sucks".<br> I just don't know what to do anymore.

  • I forgot to add that at the end of each instant messaging conversation, we'd always tell each other "good night and sweet dreams, bye my super friend", so I said that the other night like always, and all I get is "yep...bye". I tried it the next night, and get the same thing. He told me not to ever give up on a friendship, but has he given up?

  • I'm so sorry Rocky..... <br><br>I know the feeling of how you can't "let go" <br><br>My advice is to get him alone, sit him down and just tell him how you feel. He might snap,he most likely will snap. You have to face him, ignore it and continue on telling him how you feel. <br><br>Say you miss him, and that you feel like you lost your best friend. <br><br>You know him best, try to dig through that hard shell and get your best friend back.....

  • Thank you Kiwi.<br><br>I've done that before, and he said he'd change back to the old him, but since he said that, he's only gotten worse.

  • Oh.... <br><br>Well...... <br><br>This has helped me before. <br>It's kinda drastic though..... <br><br>If it comes to it, <br>Just STOP talking to him, if you don't want to let him go, eventually he should come back to the friend you love. <br>It is very drastic though..... and once he starts to come back to himself you two can talk.

  • Yea, I've actually been considering that. Which I hate to admit, but I'm sick of being treated like this.

  • I know how you feel... <br>... <br><br>( I was writing something else, about my friend and why I did what I did, but my opinion might get someone mad... I don't know how people look at it. It's just me and my "energetic" outlook on life.) LOLZ... its a looonnnggg story...
