Not a word...

I guess he didn't like what I had to say. I know how it goes, though, he thinks he's right and I think I'm right. I really think that we are both right in certain ways, I just don't choose to pick apart my friend's faults the way he does, maybe that's just his style, who knows? Biting criticism about me that is the same shit he does, but all of a sudden he's "over it"? So much better than me in the span of a day or two that now he can point out my faults? The same faults he has had until 5 minutes ago?

I'm sad, we were friends for a very long time, and I wish him all the best. 90% of the time I love to be around him, he's a great listener (until he doesn't want to hear it anymore) and a great friend. But then there's the other 10%.

Blow is fun too, but the negative effects far outweigh having a good time, so I guess you have choose, having fun or ruining your life?

That is now how I think of him...like a drug.

I really haven't "broken up" with a friend since before I went to counseling, because my counselor helped me realize why I would do this. I don't think that is the case this time. This time I'm protecting myself. Last time we had a fight, he wrote me the meanest letter in my birthday card, no less! He thinks it's just "speaking his mind". I think there is a certain amount of tact and consideration for other people's feelings that you could exhibit when speaking your mind.

That's just the way I was raised, and since I'm super sensitive, I really try to talk to people the way I want to be talked to.

The "Golden Rule", you know?

Well, Willie, if you happen to come across this, I wish you all the best, and I hope you find the kind of people that you want to surround yourself with. Sorry I wasn't one of them...
