Man Child
I’m at my breaking point! You’re supposed to be my best friend but I am honestly going to ghost you if you keep up this awful behavior!
You haven’t been able to hold down a job for 2 years, you get upset the second anyone in our friend group mentions purchasing something somewhat expensive or spoils themself, yet the second some money comes in (an odd job or gift from family) you spend it on the most useless crap and play the poor me card the next time you’re struggling with rent or bills.
You’re in your 50s and still rely on your parents to protect you and be a back up when you inevitably lose your apartment but throw a tantrum if either one reaches out in an email or on socials to see how things are going or if they can come up to visit. You refuse to get your license so you never visit them and you’re lucky they are even still around TO visit!!
You had a temp job for about 3 weeks and bragged about how you were the only person not asked to stay on longer because “who wants to work at a call center anyway?” Uhhh maybe someone who has bills to pay?! Every single day you were there, you spent more time messaging us than actually doing any work.
You’re supposed to be applying to jobs regularly. We send you part time jobs that you could easily get if you’d take the time to apply, but instead you choose to teach yourself how to crochet on YouTube. We try to be supportive and recommend craft shows and little store fronts that would sell things that you could make, and then suddenly you no longer want to crochet and you’re moving on to the next random hobby, wracking up credit card debt on more materials. It’s like you’re having a mid life crisis but expecting everyone to just catch you when you do fall. You wanted to adopt a dog for gods sake! It wasn’t until one of us showed you the monthly expenses of food, insurance and tick meds that you realized how insane and unfair that idea was.
And if I see one more “from the bottom of my heart, please help me find a job” post on socials.. I’m going to block you. You told me yourself, it’s not to actually get job posts or get a foot in somewhere.. it’s to see who actually cares about you which is so disappointing and self centered, it’s unreal.
You’ve already lost 2 people from our friend group who do not want to be around you anymore because you just want to complain and have a pity party. I honestly don’t know what’s happened to you since you lost your job, but you’ve become someone I would never be friends with in the first place and it makes me horribly sad because when I try to bring it up with you, you shut me down and soft block me for the day. It’s getting to the point where I may fully block you for good for MY own mental health. My partner already asks me if we are even friends anymore because I refuse to hang out and make excuses these days and I spend most evenings frustrated over the childish choices you made that day.
I don’t want to lose you as a friend, but I also am terrified that your negative view on the entire world will rub off on me.
