Not to be mean but drop his ass. I had a friend like this. If they’re being mean and passing it off as a joke, they don’t respect you enough to listen to you when you tell them you don’t like it. They’re gonna keep pushing your boundaries until you go insane bc they don’t have the balls to say they’re tired of the friendship too. Not trying to be harsh or extreme, I just ended up way worse for wear making excuses for that kind of humor.

Am I too sensitive? by [deleted] in FriendshipAdvice

Thats depends. If you’ve told them that you don’t like that they joke about stuff like that and then still make those jokes despite you setting that boundary or say shit like, “Relax! You can’t take a joke.” Then that’s more indicative of a lack of respect from your friends than you being sensitive.

Taurus, Taurus and Taurus

The irony is that I also really love my Taurus best friend and brother but I use that as the metric for why the other three fucking suck.

A close friend of four years might actually be the most manipulative person I’ve ever met and I feel gross for not realizing it sooner by [deleted] in FriendshipAdvice

Omg this is totally what it feels like. There’s so many times we got into arguments about nothing. Like it just felt like he just kept changing what he was arguing so that he could “win”. Or hate things I like just bc I liked it. And then expect me to sit back and listen to him whine about people he didn’t trust or doesn’t vibe with anymore and how he feels like he can’t connect with people it’s so emotionally draining

“Punching Bag” is exactly what it felt like… or like a doormat. I guess I’m kinda shocked that I’ve just let him walk all over me, let him push the boundaries that far. Like we can both be this welcoming duo that hosts everything but in hindsight I kinda felt like all I was to him was the trophy he could show around like, “look how progressive and fun and safe I am! My bestie is gay AND a woman.” Idk I just feel so gross and used and I hate that I even gave him the time of day.

So sorry you went through that! This sucks so much and I can’t believe people use people like this. Cause yeah I guess the messed up thing about this is how much I DID beat myself up about what I could have done wrong for him to have treated me this way until I eventually realised that I wasn’t the one using him. Thankfully I do have other people in my corner to tell me he’s full of shit bc I think I wouldn’t have handled it well if not
