My friend does the opposite, he talks civil to everyone else but to me ,ONLY in private he calls me all kinds of offensive profanities. I know that’s how some people just joke around with their close friends but I think I’m going to stop being his friend bc it’s rubbing off on me and I catch myself saying distasteful things that I wouldn’t normally say..
My friends just trash me, in HS they said I was the sponge because I just absorbed all the hate but I was just a traumatized individual with zero fucks to give nothing changed except my tolerance for disrespect just throw direct oblivious communication in response. Pretend like you care with naive curiosity. Then just point them at themself
maybe i can give you an insight bc im unfortunately someone who acts like this (trying to change it!!!). for me, that behavior is a result of making people dislike me so they don’t become friends with me & then leave me later on. or just generally keeping ppl at a distance so they can’t hurt me / i can’t hurt them. there’s also a part of me that thinks that being nice is embarrassing, which is hard to work out.
but yeah i’m not saying that to like, defend the behavior or anything - it’s a very fucked up to thing to do and can’t be justified. i’ve gotten a lot better at it over the years and i don’t think im That Guy anymore but maybe that can help understand why someone might behave that way. xx ppl who disrespect you are not worthy of ur time or deserving of ur attention and empathy
I lowkey get evrything you said and I’m the same I keep people at bay, weird enough that was one of my disrespectful friend issue with me, he started ignoring for this but I never came back, I just accepted it because u this upset over that but u can’t even respect me, ya stay away ur right..
