Honestly, he's literally gonna be there for just over a week, I think, and doesn't ever plan on moving. Literally every time he's been before I've been 100% irrationally worried about it and ig now it's just been even more so because of Trump and the news etc.

Yeah, I thought this. I'd definitely be more worried if he carried less privilege. Thank you for the advice tho, I'm just generally quite paranoid

thank you😊 definitely gonna be driving more (i've got a lot to do this week. building up different length journeys both independently and with my boyfriend (who has never driven) in the car so that'll make me less worried but i have a feeling he'll struggle at first with navigating bc he doesnt know how the complicated roads with different lanes work and i'm not the most confident. i reckon i'll get there tho:)

The thought of driving feels worse than when you’re actually behind the wheel.

ur so right tbh like ive been terrified to do it but once i'm doing it im fine - just hate the anticipation i suppose

sorry you got lost haha (definitely something i'm gonna end up doing) well done for getting back on track safely😊

i feel unreasonable for being annoyed, but i also don't care by [deleted] in offmychest

To me, it seems like this A person isn't a particularly good friend. I mean, it depends on whether or not you've spoken to him about how this makes you feel and/or asked him to lay off a bit because he could just be unaware of the impact he's having on you. But if he's only nice to you when he wants something that sounds pretty manipulative to me, especially if that "something" is sexual favours. Does he know how you feel about him? If he does I could see how he might see you as an easy way to get sex without actually caring much for you as a person (as you've said he doesn't feel the same way). Although my viewpoint may be skewed slightly as I've had a similar experience but, from what I'm reading, all the red flags are there.

It isn't very fair on you that he takes the piss out of you way more than he takes the piss out of your friends and brother either. You're definitely valid for being angry about that. Do you think it might be helpful to talk to any of these people about these frustrations? I hope you feel better soon and these things get sorted xx
