I had a talk with him online with no bullshit. No yelling, no dark humour, and no petty responses.
I'm probably not gonna post everything, but I've learned more about why he is like this. It takes vulnerable moments such as these before most people change.
He loves dark humour, and that's alright. All he honestly needs to learn is when to use it at the right time.

Is the people talking smack about you related, or are you saying that's why you're careful around people? Either way, I'm glad things can improve and I hope you guys at least become decent friends. Of course the fault isn't yours at all, I hope my comment wasn't too imposing. I just think for people like him, that one guy, even if the feeling isn't replicated, is on a much higher level of appreciation than vice versa. If that makes sense? Also, I guess I'm kind of a hypocrite, because when I was like 11, this kid on the playground who was my friend said he would fuck my mom. We were kind of fighting for no reason, and that pretty much sealed the deal that I wasn't his friend anymore. Thinking back on it, he was much more mature than me from a vocabulary standpoint I guessk, where saying something like that wasn't ultra offensive. But I still felt like an 8 year old would, xD |
I mention the smack talk because I never had anyone go up to my face and directly criticize me. It took a year of being miserable before I fixed my shit and had a social life.
I would rather criticize him and get it over with rather than see a bunch of people talk about him behind his back.
If dealing with this means I am able to help him start over, then I'm fine with it. I'm not gaining anything from being friends with him, and that's alright.
