Chronic Butthurt * 1
    #21792575 - 06/11/15 11:08 AM (8 years, 7 months ago)

This is post is going to be semi long so please bare with me if you have the attention span. This has really been driving me crazy lately.

So recently I've had a falling out with a few friends due to my "constant negativity." The thing is, I really don't feel like I'm that negative. I think the more appropriate word is realistic :shrug: I'm just not afraid to tell people when their ideas are horrible if my opinion is consulted. I generally don't sugar coat it either which might be part of the problem.

First Situation:

Anyways, there's this kid I've known since high school who recently blew up on me bc of my "endless negativity." He recently got scammed by this job opening on craigslist in the UK that ended up trying to steal his personal information. The job was for data entry starting at $12 an hour. When he first told me he got the job I told him congratulations and that I was happy for him. The NEXT DAY he calls and says, "Bro this job is fuckin awesome, they're about to wire me $1500 for my new computer and some other supplies." I told him that makes no fucking sense because he hasn't even done a single seconds worth of work for the company. He says whatever and I let him go about his business. Approximately three days after this we're having a beer and he's like "Dude, so I had a SKYPE interview with the company and they're promoting me to manager!" Again, I didn't call him a fucking idiot for believe this ALREADY BLATANTLY OBVIOUS scam he was falling for. I bought him a beer and again told him congratulations. Not even five days after this he starts talking about how after a year the company offered to move him out to the UK and put him on salary if he does "satisfactory work" for a year. I asked him if he thought there was anything fishy going on with this company. He accused me of being a jealous hater and I left it at that. Finally, one day we're smoking some bud and watching ESPN and he goes "Oh yeah.. by the way that job was a complete scam. They tried to get me to install software on my PC that would give them remote access to all my files." :lol: I could've been like "Wow you fucking retard, it took you this long to realize that job was a scam? It really took them asking you to download a keylogger on your PC before you figured that out genius? But instead, I just say "yeah man I knew something weird was up with that."

Second Situation:

So this same kid wants to be the next Spike Lee. He's a halfway decent writer and I think he would be a pretty decent director if he got into the right situation. His idea for a movie is about our mutual idiot friend who is so fucking retarded it literally defies the laws of nature. For a frame of reference, the idiot friend asked me to split a speeding ticket with him because If I hadn't asked him to come over he wouldn't have gotten the ticket :lolsy:
Anyways, I told him that it doesn't really sound like movie material because there's no way to come up with a plot that ties all of his stupid shenanigans together while simultaneously having the audience actually care about the character for an hour and a half. It basically just sounded like a knockoff of Dumb and Dumber to me. I suggested that maybe he should turn it into an animated adult swim type series. This way, the audience won't get bored since each episode will approximately be 15 minutes without commercials and you don't even really have to have a coherent plot. Each episode could just be an isolated incident of retardedness. His friends agree that my idea is good and they should move on that direction.

The next day I wake up with three texts from him telling me that I suck bc now all his friends like my idea better than his. I say well okay then, you can write the movie by yourself then and they can do the animated series..fuck em :shrug: He follows this up with, "WOW, I can't believe you'd say something like that! They're my friends and we're in this together! I'd never be disloyal to my friends like that! You're so negative and such a hater and you don't care about anybody but yourself!!" I told him I don't really give a fuck about any of his movie ideas and he was the one texting me and getting angry. I was just giving him a solution to his problem. He told me to never text/talk to him ever again and that our entire friendship was bullshit.

I just don't understand how someone who has known me for over 5 years could get so butthurt over voicing my opinion. I could literally give five other situations of how fucking ridiculous this guy is but this post is already entirely too long. I already know I'm gonna get TL;DR'd :lol: Its cool though.

Thoughts? Opinions?

Am I just being an asshole?

Naw dude, your ARE just being realistic. Don't be a "yes" man just because they are your friends.
I'm in plastic manufacturing and fabrication. I help businesses and inventors bring their products to life.

So I get all my friends sharing their "million dollar" inventions with me. Most are crap or will need hundreds of thousands of dollars to manufacture and market.

My one buddy got choked at me when he said he wants to develop a phone and software to compete with apple and google. I just rolled my eyes at him and said wheres your billion dollar startup...

I don't think you're being an asshole.
If your friends can't take your opinions, it's kind of hard to be friends with them. Don't you think?

So you've known the idiot since high school. How long have you known the other dude for?

The only reason im questioning myself is that I've lost like 3 friends in about a months time all over the same shit. I just think it would be ridiculous to not evaluate my actions and just chalk it up to them being pussies. But thank you for the confirmation.. I think my attitude will take me far in the bussiness world one day

Approximately the same amount of time. These guys have spent Christmas and Thanksgiving at my house, our parents know each other And shit like that so im not talking just casual acquaintances here. These people have literally told me to never talk to them again

my thing is, you really don't want to be successful if you expect everyone to kiss your ass. Criticism makes better people and subsequently better products. I always assumed that was common sense but apparently not :shrug;

That's fucked up but I'm sure they'll get over it soon enough.
It sounds like some petty, high school drama to me.
So I guess the better question is, do you see yourself associating yourself with these guys after you've graduated college?

I don't know how to feel about it. It's hard to let go of those early high school memories of skipping school and getting blazed and just fucking off. On the other hand, the guy really said some insulting things to me in his 3 pg text that I didn't disclose in the OP. If that's the way he truly feels about me, I don't think there's any way to reconcile the friendship. I can understand if he was just talking shit out of anger but there had to be at least some truth behind those words.

Also, if I do become "friends" with them again, how long before the next reality show drama episode starts again? Then ill be thinking " fuck I should've just left it alone and went on my way."

I understand where you're coming from. My best friends to this day are the ones that I met in high school as well.
That's why I was saying it's up to you if you want to remain friends with them. I'm sure this silly stuff about never talking to you again will blow over.

It's hard to talk about feelings and friendships as a guy talking to another guy. It's in our nature to not do that shit, but sometimes you have to. Let your boys know how you feel without tiptoeing around your feelings. I know that's easier said than done if they are willing to sit down and listen, I believe it's worth reconciling. :smile:

People generally don't like to be criticized. Personality dependent, it's difficult to maintain a relationship with someone who you feel is constantly criticizing you/what you say. Regardless about how you feel the information SHOULD effect them, they might interpret what you say/how you say it differently. There's a sense of balance to strike between offering critique and protecting someone's ego. If people feel attacked, they become defensive and therefore ridged towards whatever information you're attempting to communicate.

There's a time and place to be more/less blunt, especially if the relationships aren't invested in personally. You mentioned the business world--> people still look for personable, friendly encounters (while still protecting/advocating for their business goals).

If you're losing friends you want to keep, learn how to give feedback (and learn when it isn't needed/wanted) that constructively critiques whatever idea is in question. Positively reinforce when people ask you your opinion, IE, make them excited to share further ideas with you. Even if you truly believe the idea is shit, there's a way of framing it that isn't harsh ("It's creative, but here are the issues I see..."). The idea is that you make the people around you feel good about themselves they will want to spend more time around you. When you discover a positive feedback loop with someone else: Wala, friend.

Friend making requires perspective taking. If you're receiving genuine feedback that you're "full of yourself," it's one way for someone to communicate that they don't feel the relationship has a healthy me/you balance. Try seeing things from their perspective. What's it like to be X person?

This could be an issue of mismatched social groups as people have different social goals/needs. For example, you mention people interpret your "realism" as negativity. Notice how your comments impact the people around you. Do they bring people down? If so, that sort of conversation might be better suited for a different context with different people.

That was a great fucking post.

I just feel like it has more to do with their sensitivity than the way im delivering the criticism.

But you're absolutely right..if Im losing friends that I actually wanna keep then I do need to re evaluate a lot of things

Im known for being realistic, so these types of people generally dont hang around me. Usually theyre just looking for someone to feed into their fantasies anyways, along with being too immature to handle whats usually constructive criticism. I honestly dont think your losing out on much, you were even being nice about everything. Like the buddy getting scammed :rofl2:

I would not have been able to hold back on that one.

This is post is going to be semi long so please bare with me if you have the attention span. This has really been driving me crazy lately.

So recently I've had a falling out with a few friends due to my "constant negativity." The thing is, I really don't feel like I'm that negative. I think the more appropriate word is realistic :shrug: I'm just not afraid to tell people when their ideas are horrible if my opinion is consulted. I generally don't sugar coat it either which might be part of the problem.

First Situation:

Anyways, there's this kid I've known since high school who recently blew up on me bc of my "endless negativity." He recently got scammed by this job opening on craigslist in the UK that ended up trying to steal his personal information. The job was for data entry starting at $12 an hour. When he first told me he got the job I told him congratulations and that I was happy for him. The NEXT DAY he calls and says, "Bro this job is fuckin awesome, they're about to wire me $1500 for my new computer and some other supplies." I told him that makes no fucking sense because he hasn't even done a single seconds worth of work for the company. He says whatever and I let him go about his business. Approximately three days after this we're having a beer and he's like "Dude, so I had a SKYPE interview with the company and they're promoting me to manager!" Again, I didn't call him a fucking idiot for believe this ALREADY BLATANTLY OBVIOUS scam he was falling for. I bought him a beer and again told him congratulations. Not even five days after this he starts talking about how after a year the company offered to move him out to the UK and put him on salary if he does "satisfactory work" for a year. I asked him if he thought there was anything fishy going on with this company. He accused me of being a jealous hater and I left it at that. Finally, one day we're smoking some bud and watching ESPN and he goes "Oh yeah.. by the way that job was a complete scam. They tried to get me to install software on my PC that would give them remote access to all my files." :lol: I could've been like "Wow you fucking retard, it took you this long to realize that job was a scam? It really took them asking you to download a keylogger on your PC before you figured that out genius? But instead, I just say "yeah man I knew something weird was up with that."

Second Situation:

So this same kid wants to be the next Spike Lee. He's a halfway decent writer and I think he would be a pretty decent director if he got into the right situation. His idea for a movie is about our mutual idiot friend who is so fucking retarded it literally defies the laws of nature. For a frame of reference, the idiot friend asked me to split a speeding ticket with him because If I hadn't asked him to come over he wouldn't have gotten the ticket :lolsy:
Anyways, I told him that it doesn't really sound like movie material because there's no way to come up with a plot that ties all of his stupid shenanigans together while simultaneously having the audience actually care about the character for an hour and a half. It basically just sounded like a knockoff of Dumb and Dumber to me. I suggested that maybe he should turn it into an animated adult swim type series. This way, the audience won't get bored since each episode will approximately be 15 minutes without commercials and you don't even really have to have a coherent plot. Each episode could just be an isolated incident of retardedness. His friends agree that my idea is good and they should move on that direction.

The next day I wake up with three texts from him telling me that I suck bc now all his friends like my idea better than his. I say well okay then, you can write the movie by yourself then and they can do the animated series..fuck em :shrug: He follows this up with, "WOW, I can't believe you'd say something like that! They're my friends and we're in this together! I'd never be disloyal to my friends like that! You're so negative and such a hater and you don't care about anybody but yourself!!" I told him I don't really give a fuck about any of his movie ideas and he was the one texting me and getting angry. I was just giving him a solution to his problem. He told me to never text/talk to him ever again and that our entire friendship was bullshit.

I just don't understand how someone who has known me for over 5 years could get so butthurt over voicing my opinion. I could literally give five other situations of how fucking ridiculous this guy is but this post is already entirely too long. I already know I'm gonna get TL;DR'd :lol: Its cool though.

Thoughts? Opinions?

Am I just being an asshole?




There are three sides to every story. What you said, what he said, and what really happened. I have the inclination to believe that you left out a lot of the details to make yourself look like the good guy. It honestly sounds to me like you were being a prick and if one of your friends told their version of the story you would sound like a complete jackass.

That is just my opinion though, but I just fee like there is so much more to this story then is being revealed. If multiple people think you are being a pompous douche they probably are right.

I have a feeling OP has a chip on his shoulder and carries himself with an arrogance and always nitpicks what other people are doing. I could be off base here but I usually have a good read of character.

It sounds like your friend has the loosest vagina ever and probably wouldn't classify as being a friend if he can't handle that someone thinks you have good ideas.

Does he think the world revolves around him?

That's basically how I feel. Just because someone has a different opinion than me doesn't mean im going to stop being their friend. But this is the same guy that told me he hates all white people and says "fuck white people" every chance he gets

As a white person I can say I agree with that.

Fuck white people. Black people shoot people who deserve it, the only time they murder innocents is when they miss because they hold their guns sideways all willynilly.

White people shoot up schools.

When's the last time you saw a nigga shoot up a school?

On the basketball court, exactly.

Fuck white people. White people suck.
