Friends that you want to punch in the face.

Sarcasm, I'm saying that if the situation were reversed you would want someone to listen to you. We all need people to confide in and you're being a faggot by posting about how you want to punch this kid in the face on the internet all because he trusts you. If I were him or a 3rd party observer I would punch you in the face.

Just my opinion though.

It's not that I seriously want to punch him in the face. He's my friend and all I just don't see why he blames everything in his life on one arbitrary thing. When ya know he could actually put in some effort to fix the problems himself rather than declaring himself a hapless addict.

easy to say something like that when you aren't addicted to something. It's why they have other AA members sponsor new ones, and why it's best to hear about how a drug habit is bad from a former drug user. Unless you've had his specific problem and overcome it fully then you should just be a sympathetic ear and keep it off the internet.

He's not a drug user. he claims he's "Addicted" to video games. his complaints are that he buys too many video games and plays them more than wanting to hang out with his girlfriend or get a job. He's not a victim here. He can make conscious decision. He chose months ago to stop looking for a job and live on welfare and his girlfriends couch while she supported him. And I've already lent a sympathetic ear to him several times. He already knows my stance on this. If you're hurt about then than I'm sorry. There's plenty of other threads out there. I'm sure you can find one that doesn't make you rage no?

really? does it seem like I'm angry about this? You don't know me well. People will do as they please, and will use whatever sympathy you give them because they can; it doesn't change the fact that coming here to complain about someone who complains to you is pointless. You have two options: tell him to fuckoff/ignore him or you can continue being a good friend a listening. I don't think beating him up is going to do much good other than to alienate yourself from others. In the future you should ask yourself if that person really is your friend if you want to punch them in the face. Either way, if you don't want to hear an opinion that differs from your own then you should avoid the internets altogether, perhaps you're a single player type of guy.

Whoa whoa, sorry maybe I should have clarified sometimes. I knew a few people could get confused about the true purpose of this thread. Yes admittedly I posted her to blow of some steam and to crack a few jokes at his expense for making some outlandish claims. I would never abandon him as a friend. He's a friend of several years and I will help him however I can before resorting to trying to beat sense into the man. This is why I posted this thread in Random instead of Serious Discussion since it was not meant to be taken to seriously. Or at least to the point of debate. I didn't really mean to raise any feathers with this.

This being said. maybe I should change the title to "Friends that disappoint you."

I guess wording your posts more carefully might be a good idea, regardless of topic placement you wont always get people on board with what you post on the internet.

I know that. Maybe we're both at a little fault for overreacting in each direction. My Apologies Waar. I hope next time we share a thread we will be in agreement.
