Re: My friends drifting away. -

Thank you all for your responses; I'd like to address a few things-
>I do believe the friend who told me is telling at least the partial truth because 1, she is one of my closer friends, and 2, T's attitude towards me seems to check out. He's been snapping at me a lot and making fun of me about certain things I do (which, maybe I'm too sensitive about that. I'm just really bad at knowing what's socially acceptable behavior and so I just copy other people)
>As for the issues part, I can't say I don't have my own issues and haven't made people worry, but he's constantly joked about wanting to.... (I can't say the word but it starts with s and ends with e. Also for clarification, it was the kinda joke that is played off as one, or at least that's how it seemed in the context.) >I've asked him if he has a therapist, and he's said no. Also, for the school counsellor thing-- a lot of people recommend that for me, but I have trust issues when it comes to counsellors due to bad past experiences. I didn't recommend that for him, but idk.
>I've asked him a few times if he finds me annoying, or if he's mad at me, and he always answers with no. But I really can't tell if he's being sarcastic, or if he means it. It's hard to explain, he just says it in a certain way.
>Also, yeah I kinda agree with you guys about the giving thing. I told my mom and she said that T is using me, because the only thing he has given me in return is an almost-empty perfume bottle (It was like a victoria's secret perfume and it wasn't even a 10th of the way full) I don't know, I'm not one to be picky I guess, but I've put a lot on the line for him (I almost wasn't allowed to go to hoco because of the perfume situation. Even after that, I still offered to pay for his tickets...I've also spent quite a few hours on art for him only for him to turn around and say he wants it redone..)
>I think one of the biggest things is that I don't have a phone. He's constantly on me about wanting me to get one so he can text me, but he knows how much trouble I'll get in if I do have one. So idk.
Honestly, I'm not even mad if he doesn't like me. I just wish he would tell me if he does or doesn't want to be friends so that I'm not wasting my time. Aaah.
Thank you again for all your replies
