My friend "just wants to yell at me for being so childish"?


Question Posted Saturday April 16 2011, 8:22 pm

15/f

We were in class one day and he had made some kind of reference/motion to alcohol that I didn't get so I was like, "HUH?"

He was like, "PARTY."

"And?"

"DRINKING!" He said.

Then it hit me and I of course went, "OHHHH!!"

He said, "God, you're so retarded. You're so childish. I swear, I just want to yell at you sometimes! You're so frustrating."

And then he looks at me and starts laughing. I pound my head against my desk in frustration and he just laughs harder and says I'm "so funny", like he says all the time.

...I know I overthink things a lot, but is my friend bipolar or something? We're not close at all, just acquaintances more or less, so should I ignore him? After all, I'm not exactly childish, I'm just slow on the uptake on the darker things in life.. Why is that so annoying to him? Something like this seems to happen every time I don't get his jokes, but today he really kinda blew up..

I'm not to sure if he's bipolar but he has anger issues. He's prob. doing this for attention. Just ignore him! It's ok not to understand everything at first, everyone has those moments you're not alone. Another thing just leave him alone if he constantly disrespects you by blowing up. Good Luck!

Your friend is an idiot. No one should be drinking at 15.

You are anything but childish. HE is the one that is childish. I think that your friend just simply likes to joke around. I used to have a friend like that, he just joked around and sometimes he would say rude things to me, but I knew that he was just joking. I think that if he only said "God, you're so retarded. You're so childish. I swear, I just want to yell at you sometimes! You're so frustrating" then I would have said he has some serious problems. But you said that he laughed when you pound your head against the table. This means that he just said it to see you do something funny. It was probably because the lesson was so boring. I think this friend of yours is quite the funny type of person. But if he is mean to you like that allot more, you should tell him to stop, if it is hurting your feelings.

Hi there,

You are not childish, and it is really a good thing to be "slow on the uptake on the darker things in life"!

He behaved really poorly, and it is worth ignoring.

Often people try and put other people down to make themselves feel better, which is what it what it sounds llike he is doing as well.

It would be really worth hanging around with people who don't demonstrate behaviours like his.
Anyone running you down cares about themselves more than you. Not a great friend.

And at 15 who cares if you don't know about drinking at a party!

Maybe get into something like volunteering at an animal shelter, old peoples home, church, food bank, anywhere, so that way you have an excuse:

I have better things to do!

You will get way more out of that and will meet some really kind and likeminded people that way too!
