dicknailLast year this friend had to cut ties with many of their other (now former) friends. We only got a direct explanation from one of them. They said that our friend was "constantly irritable over the slightest things". I'm now inclined to believe them.
This friend does get annoyed at me when I'm not preforming at their pace, but what has really started to bother me is how badly they handle people how have different options.
This friend gets irritated whenever I express different opinions that they don't agree with. This friend is also male, so he does intimidate me a bit. There were multiple instances where I spoke my mind on whatever topic was being addressed and they immediately started to get irritated at me. It frightens me a bit. It's cool that they stand by their principals, but they need to learn that other people, ahem such as I, have different principals, different opinions, different views, different brains. Well, it's not that he doesn't already know that it's that he needs to learn how to cope.
I remember watching a PragerU video in religion and society and he got so unnecessarily upset because he didn't agree with what the video was saying. I understand that the video is biased, because it was literally a video about Christianity and God and that it was being played to a class of students, but.. this is a bloody Christian school. We were in RELIGION and society. He also completely misunderstood the video. I happened to agree with what the video was saying (I'm not a Christian, I guess I'm agnostic) and hearing him berate the opinions in the video made me sad. It made me sad because I listen to his views, I don't get upset when I disagree with him. A lot of the time I never actually tell him that I disagree with him because of how he reacted to things like the PragerU video.
I am now starting to find him egotistical too.
Really, I only have one person I feel like I'm actually friends with. They have many other friends, I don't think I'll ever be a favourite.
