my best guy friend always does this..


Question Posted Wednesday November 5 2008, 8:43 pm

19 year old female. my best friend is 18. we've been friends for years now, i trust him with everything i have but i'm one of the most sarcastic people you will ever meet, he knows that. well tonight he was texting me and somehow got confused on what i was trying to say and i was like you are so slow and he was like no i'm not i'm just confused, what were you trying to say? well then i got confused and i was like, now i dont remember, because you confused ME now. i was just like, your always confused, everytime i say something i have to explain it to you! and he was like because you say weird stuff. then i was like well then maybe you shouldn't talk to me anymore if i say weird stuff, keep in mind i was being SARCASTIC, and i didn't know what to say back to him. and well after he didn't text me back. now i don't know what to think, i don't think he would of taken it seriously he knows i'm always like that but it did kind of hurt when he was like "you say weird stuff". what do you think is running through his mind?

There is a 99.758% chance that he is attracted to you and feels emasculated. He wants you to like him and respect him and he feels like a little brother rather than an equal.

So, be prepared. If he likes you enough to keep track of years, he probably likes you all the way.

If not, he just feels insulted, so try to be a little less condescending and sarcastic when you can.

He knows that your SARCASTIC, but he just is taking the situation very strongly and immaturely and to the heart, when he shouldn't be. Right now, if he was really mature, he would simply handle the situation by laughing about it, and if he knows your SARCASTIC, than he shouldn't act like such a wimp when you say "we shouldn't talk anymore". He's not handling the situation maturely, so you should make the first move. Confront him the next time you see him and see what's up... As far as what's going through his mind right now, I can simply tell you that he's most likely trying to hate you or something like that for what you said. But, he can't because he knows that your the "right" one and he's the "wrong" one.

i think that its just a common misunderstanding.
he's going to talk to you again.
i think you should just chilll and not worry about it because im sure he knows you were sarcastic, if he really knows you as well as you say he does.

maybe he just got tired of texting and decided not to respond.
but i wouldnt worry about it.
after all, its texting, not real life.

it's as simple as this. although your friend was confused at first, he tried to be nice about it by simply asking you what you said and you simply repaid him with an insult by calling him "slow". Of course you got upset with him telling you that "you say weird stuff". but now you know how he feels to constantly take the things that you say to him in on a regular basis. It's clear that your sarcasm throughout the years has finally took a toll on him and made him feel like he has to strike back. sarcasm can really pick away at peoples conciousness inside, (especially after a long period of time), and make them feel like they have had enough. it is when a person has had enough that their pushed to react on their impulses, which is most likely what happened to your friend tonight. What is most likely running through this kids mind is "A friend wants a friend. not someone who treats them like they treat everyone else. Sarcasm is off limits to friends, but love isn't". and you should really think about that :). i suggest a heartfelt sorry and a change in attitude. because at the end of the day words are only words, and people need to be shown something else.
