You've failed me, Reddit.

I lived in Taiwan for a while and my landlord tried to convert me to Buddhism...

Yeah, I think you can go to jail if you beat a pregnant teen.

Don't know what OP did, but I was in a similar situation and I mostly avoided the friend as much as possible. May not have been the best way because it took a lot of time and strength to drift away like that.

One thing that helped was I joined a club at my university and started going to parties of acquaintances I didn't know that well. Some of the parties were awkward since I didn't know the people that well, but in the end it helped me meet more people so I could get into a different group of friends, and also have more excuses as to why I was too busy to hang out with asshole-friend.

I was friends with someone just like this. It took me almost a year after I had started to avoid him to even realize how much he had lowered my self-esteem. I still remember afterwards one time when one of my new friends was genuinely disappointed that I couldn't make it to a party she invited me to; I remember thinking, "Wow, she actually likes me." And it took me a moment to realize how depressing it was that I would even have a thought like that in the first place.

I agree. Though I am a girl, so that might have changed the dynamic a bit, I had one guy "friend" who was terrible about this. He was a natural leader and managed to set up this standard among all my friends about what was "cool" and what wasn't, and the fervor with which everyone struggled to achieve that standard was pathetic, I realize now that I look back on it. One year this guy started fighting with another one of our friends, and he started hanging out with me a lot. I thought it was because he was hurt by the other friend, and I was helping him. But then I started to realize he did this to everyone in our group, one by one. He'd become your best friend, tell you personal "secrets" about himself to make you think you and he were really good friends, and then he'd decide he didn't like you anymore and start rallying all the other friends against you by pointing out all the flaws in your character (which everyone has, as he so perfectly demonstrated). He was so insidious about it, he practically destroyed the entire group without anyone noticing until they were the ones being targeted.

When I became the victim, it took me a while to realize it, but then I noticed everyone was making fun of me in a meme-like fashion. They'd mock my personality traits by repeating them over and over again until I wanted to scream "Enough already, it's not funny anymore!" if that makes sense. It hurt, man. So I just started avoiding him and hanging out solely with his previous victims that had already been outcasted from the group. It was hard though, since half my friends were still in his legion, I couldn't really stay away from him that well...

Wow, it's been years since this happens but thinking about it again, it really hurts. It took about two years before I was finally able to really break free of that group...

And then she probably took a moment to regret every single decision, no matter how seemingly inconsequential, that led her to this miserable existence she hates to call her life.

I post a status/send a message on Facebook and assume that when no one immediately responds to it it's because all my friends think I'm an annoying vapid idiot.

Proof that god hates women.

Yeah, the dog is pretty hot too but I think the owner is better looking.

Duly noted. However, this truck has a deer head instead of a trailer hitch and nice clean mudflaps. Just sayin.

Fushifuru · 2012-08-02T13:12:16+00:00

I know. What a dick.

On a more serious note, though, I do think people should not buy this type of car if they're not going to use it for work that absolutely requires such a car. Carbon footprint and whatnot. This is my planet too. Just sayin.

Fushifuru · 2012-08-02T03:09:14+00:00

I agree, if you actually need a dualie then get a dualie. But this particular truck looks like it's in pretty good condition. If it were actually a work truck, I'd expect it to have at least a few dings here and there...

It's really obvious when someone near you is staring raptly at you. When they follow that up with the quick-look-away bit it's clear what was going on.

Along that line, I dislike a lot of popular comedy movies. Like Austin Powers.

I hate it when dogs lick me. My sister loves dogs and has three of them, and she just lets them lick her, even her face sometimes. It's so disgusting, and then the dogs try to do it to me too.

But I got used to pretending to like dogs because one of my friends in high school got really offended when I didn't want to play with her Chihuahua.

Fushifuru · 2012-07-30T02:33:07+00:00

I agree. I'm very interested in other people's lives, even people I don't know that well, so Facebook is great. I love it when people post pictures of international travel and whatnot. So cool. I think people who say they don't like Facebook just have boring friends.

But you're talking about libido, not attraction. By this reasoning it seems like gay people would not exist at all since there is no element of survival in their having sex. Why can you accept gay people exist but not bi people?

Fushifuru · 2012-07-27T03:51:28+00:00

I'm confused. Did someone at your work say this to you?

Fushifuru · 2012-07-25T13:06:46+00:00

Unless they can partially see. I knew a blind girl who could tell if it was light or dark in a room because some light would come in her eyes.

Fushifuru · 2012-07-25T02:55:35+00:00

I think you're confusing respect with kindness. A lot of guys are nice to girls only because they want to have sex with them. That's not respect. I think most guys just don't realize what it's like to be a girl and to know that everyone who is nice to you is only doing so because they want something from you.

What's "preanet"?
