So

 

It's about 9:30 in the morning where in live in fine Queensland of the giant fuck off island we call Australia

and I'm so drunk that I need to fix every second word.
 

Why?

Not that much of you care but I'm depressed and drinking is the way I fix it.

I need to vent, it plain and simple as that.

Just one simple question I need to ask...


Why is it that nice people tend to get fucked over the most?


I am one of the nicest people most other people meet, I'm so nice that everyone must comment on it.
So why is it that I have to deal with most of the crap and scruteny?

Or is it simply that I'm such a bitch it surprise people that I'm nice at times?

It's not that I expect you people to know, I'm just talking in generalities/musing out loud.

I don't get it, people confuse me so much.

*sigh* I wish I had more alcohol.


Because I can...

~hug~

I don't know.

I think it's possible that bad people get fucked with as much as good people. The one great equalizer is that life is unfair for everybody. "The rain falls on the just and the unjust alike" as they say.

What happened?

I don't know your specific situation so I can't speak to it, but things will get better. It may not be tomorrow, it may not be this month, it may not be 5 years from now, I don't know - but it will get better.

 

There was a point in my life where I was struggling to eat, living in an apartment with more roaches than people where gunshots were a weekly occurrence. Now I'm living in an upscale apartment getting ready to buy my first house. What did I do to get here? Nothing special, I just always tried to do what I thought was right and kept pushing through. Maybe it sounds cliche, maybe it sounds dumb, but follow your heart and never let yourself down. If you treat people right and don't keep the wrong people close to you things will get better.

 

Once upon a time I was working third shift at a grocery store - underpaid, treated like shit and lonely as fk there but it got me out of roachville. There was a bread vendor who asked if I could let him in ~4 AM to make his life easier, so I gave him my number and would let him in so he could do his thing. I was always nice to him, he was the same to me. He knew my job sucked and actually tried to get me a job with him - however, I wasn't 21 yet so for insurance reasons they couldn't hire me. He ended up getting a different route so I didn't get to work with him anymore. Fast forward 5 months, I'm at a new job as a web developer (where I currently am now and loving it still) - my phone rings out of the blue, low and behold it's mr. wonder bread. He says he knows my birthday was in feb. so I was 21 now and he wanted to offer me a job as a driver still.

 

I hadn't spoken to/seen him in 5 months and he managed to remember me and still go out of his way to help me. I didn't take the job but I thanked the shit out of him (it meant/still means a lot). If I ever had the chance to repay the favor or do anything I could to help him I would in a heartbeat.

 

You'll meet plenty of people in life that aren't worth fuck all, but if you treat people right without bias good things will come your way.

Well uh things happened that aren't overly important, but this kinda pushed me over the edge -

"Well I would have thought that it was a pretty clear indication that I don't want to talk to you. It's quite simple ~Silver_rose~ I don't want you as part of my life anymore. I will be pleasant and civil to you in public and that's it. I don't really want to block you on here as well so I ask you to take this in stride. Also I suggest you loose my phone number."
 

~area has been changed due to it having my real name~


This got sent to me on facebook after I found that this friend deleted me from skype and unfriended me on facebook.

No warning, it just happened
No him trying to talk it out, he just did it

No indication he was angry, or upset.
No him trying to resolve the situation

and the only reason why I even know he's upset is because I tried
I tried to resolve it by telling him we needed to talk.

I have known this person for 10 years.
We were so close I thought he was more a brother to me than my actual brother.

and he does this.

If he was important enough that losing him causes you to drink at nine in the morning, then it might be an outside problem. That type of closeness isn't just cast aside on a whim. Maybe you can find out the reason he'd do something like this?

 

I'm sorry. Words won't make you feel any better, and they'd come off cheep and meaningless, but I'm sure no one here would wish this kind of thing on you. Here's a cat dressed like a witch.

Well i don't think talking is gonna fix it...

And I'm pretty sure he doesn't want to talk to me

Wow didn't know you were so close across the ditch. 

 

I raise my glass to you. *raise* (I'm drinking a malibu with pineapple juice)

 

But I must warn you, drinking doesn't heal the pain. Just makes people an emotional wreck.

 

Going out for a run up a hill usually gets my frustrations out, I call it a "rage sprint"

Nice people get fucked so often because they're often easy to manipulate, or make themselves into a victim by going overboard on trying to help other people.

 

people are also often suspicious of someone who's nice all the time, they think there's an ulterior motive there or something.

 

 

Also, drinking doesn't heal the pain, it just delays it.

you're better off going for a good workout to burn off bad energy, writing it out or drawing it.

No, I wasn't suggesting you talk to him, but others. Maybe there was a reason and someone else might know. Perhaps a mutual friend or something.

I had a female friend I tried to distance myself from subtly but she got really suspicious of that and confronted me about it. I just thought of her as a sister but she wanted more and slowly it pushed me to the point where I could tell that it would not go back to the way it was and that I should pull out for both our sakes. I did tell her this though, I also said sorry to her and meant it.

 

It could be that he didn't feel like a brother and wanted more but knew it wouldn't happen so he distanced himself or many other reasons. I think the important thing is to look at it objectively and think, well if thats what he wants and he is not trying to fix it then is it really worth me worrying about it?

 

I feel for you, I tend to be the same kind of person. If I care about someone then I will go out of my way to spare their feelings and even compromise myself in doing so, it actually makes me happy to do this and if I get backlash then I tend to accept it and try to not let it phase me.

 

The hardest but most rewarding thing you can do is push through it. Sometimes digging into it can harm you in tremendous ways.

 

All the best :-)

Try to stick through it, keep your head up, one shall never look back on things that hurt us, only look to the possitive things in the now and future. I think you and your close friend will find your way back to each other. I had a very tough break-up once which put my emotional state of mind at high pressure. But I just tried to focus on the good things and that life doesn't always goes the way you like sometimes, and I said to myself that its up to me to make it good again, and for me it turned even better. So what i'm trying to say is that you should not get stuck in great emotional pain for too long and that you always need to look for the gold at the end of the rainbow to get back on your feet. So I suggest you wait for a while and then try to talk with your friend again and see what is going on. Good luck mate and I hope you get back on track!

Ah man, I hear that, recently one of my best friends said I was trying to get her drunk so I could use her for...I don't even want to say, this is someone I've trusted with some of the biggest problems in my life and someone I've helped to no end. So our friendship is pretty much over as far as I can see. I do sympathise, is what I'm trying to say.

 

I used to drink a lot, when I was 16 I regularly used to drink entire bottles of vodka at home by myself, sometimes because that was my idea of fun, sometimes because I felt my life was pretty shit. I'm not saying my 16 year old problems were as important as what you're going through but I know what drinking the hurt away is like and it's a terrible road to go down. 

 

If you want to PM me just for a chat about anything then you always can. The offer is there. =)

That's... incredibly douchebaggy of him. >__0
I mean, holy crap.

I think perhaps NoDanico has the right idea, though. Investigation through talking to a mutual friend might be a good idea.

Suffice to say, though, that anyone willing to write you off so abruptly after such a long friendship is probably just a shitty friend. I'm sorry you had to discover this.


I don't think he needs to be immortal. I think all he needs to do is to write the right story. Because some stories do live forever.

Last night I was at that point. I was pirate drunk, attempting to play the Mass Effect 3 multiplayer. Played one match, couldn't do much but run around and figure out buttons. Literally had a napkin stuff under my hat to block an eye so I could see straight. I didn't think I was at the point of puking, but I think that occured at about 7 am. Why was I drinking you ask? To celebrate my vacation. I'm gonna finish that celebration sober I think....because that was just....waaaay too much last night.

 

As for the general topic at hand, I have a friend of 9 years, and there was a time when I had feelings for her.....she didn't feel the same, so I had to distance myself from her for a while. I don't recall telling her I was distancing myself, it just sorta happened. We still talked and all, but it wasn't very often. I wound up in a relationship with another girl (which ended shitty imo), and I eventually fully reconnected with that friend again. When we did start hanging out again, I did feel super awful for doing it, but it had to be done in order to get over those feelings.

We were so close I thought he was more a brother to me than my actual brother.

and he does this.

Sometimes people are just stupid morons.

It sucks, but such is life.

Here is a fun little story that is pretty in tune with yours.

 

I had this friend named Tom, we had been friends since we were small children.

The sort of friends that did everything together, had inside jokes that only we got and that was fine with us, the whole friend shebang.

Me and my family took him in because his family was shit, and so did several other friend's families.

He lived with us, we fed him, clothed him, family stuff.

No one cared because that is what you do.

We were brothers.

 

Then, a while ago, the two of us (plus two other friends) entered a golf tournament in which we rocked.

Part way through the tournament we had in incident which involved our two golf carts colliding and one of them breaking an axle.

It was an accident but the guy who owns the golf course is a douche.

At the end of they day he wanted a thousand dollars to cover the damages (way too much, but that is a rant for another day).

We agreed to each pay $250 to share the load and moved on with our lives.

Me and me friend Reid Paid $500 each because we were the ones driving and were going to get money from the other two (one of which was Tom) later.

 

A few months ago Tom sends me a text that said after the golf course incident we couldn't hang out anymore.

He felt he shouldn't have to pay anything for the cart repairs and that I was being an asshole.

He then proceeded to attack my morals, my ethics, my family, my religious beliefs, and everything else he could think of once he realized I wasn't flying off the handle at him.

 

This is a man who I grew up with, supported like a brother (the sort of brother that always needs money and help), and never hesitated to lend my aide to.

He then turned on my other friend Reid (the other guy who paid for the cart) and attack him in a similar fashion after deleting him from facebook and changing his phone number and everything. Tom and I were groomsman in Reid's wedding party, that is how tight knit we were. This action from Tom was absolutely out of nowhere. No prior problems, nothing.

 

When Reid asked what the fuck was going through his head Tom had this to say:

 

"I need to move on. I don't want anything to do with Dutton, or anyone who lives there. My mom is fucked in the head and if I don't get away from that place I will end up the same. The fact that you want someone to come to your wedding who wants nothing to do with you is pathetic. So just lose my number and forget I exist. You won't hear from me again."

 

He backed out of Reid's Jamaican wedding, which he got a free ride to because he claimed he had no money, last minute and told us all to fuck off.

 

So, I can assure you, from very personal experience.

You are going to hurt, you are going to be so mad you want to burn the world, but it will pass.

I was betrayed by one of my oldest friends in the world out of the blue for reasons that are utterly insane, and I survived.

Time and maybe someone to talk to about it will get you through the bullshit.


It is perfectly acceptable to fear and admire a being you could not possibly understand.
