Losing a friend

0

I have this friend. Or had. He was my best friend and confidante. He was everything to me. Maybe I was even a little bit in love with him. But he had this thing where his number one mission was to ignore his own needs and make everyone else happy. He also believed he didn’t have his own emotions. Well, now he’s in college, he’s changed his mind. He’s now decided to become completely self-serving and forget about everyone he cared about and everyone who ever cared about him. Which includes me. He knows I’m suicidal. He knows I was just in the hospital. He knows how much he means to me. But he’s leaving me. I just don’t know what to do. He was my rock. What do I do?

This is actually happening to me in a lesser way. Maybe after time he will become the person you knew again, but jyst give him space. I am pretty sure you can find nany other great people out thete and a new "rock". Condider tellinf him hiw yoy feel also, maybe he us not aware of this, or needs help with something himself.

Dont ever beg anyone for anything. You can become your own rock and not always rely on someone else. If he wants to go away then let him. Show him you'll be perfectly fine without someone like him,

I completely know how you feel. I had a friend like that, he was always there for me. When I left school he stopped talking to me it was really hard because I knew him basically my whole life. All I am trying to say is be strong he will come around.

I would probably have quoted some crap from the net. But I have a feeling you don't do Nostalgia. But, you have to find someone or something else. Your rock, does not have to be a person, or even a physical object. It could be a simple thought. The best rock for your life would be an idea. Since, they never leave or die. They simply change and grow. So, calm yourself and go on a small search. You may find something worth going on for. It might not even be what you would have expected.

Now, that part is covered. I will have to probably tell about the change. It may not have anything to do with you. But if he was caring in giving. Than several things could have happened to him. He could have gotten tired of helping everyone. Someone could have taken advantage of him. Which this does happen to a lot of nice people. There is that one jerk, who abuses the kindness that is given until the well goes dry. He could have faced something that could have had a lasting effect.

The thing is, something happened to him. People's personalities do not alter so drastically. Without some powerful outside influence. It has to be strong enough to leave a permanent scar. Even head trauma can alter a person 180 like that. Even if those head traumas are in small amounts. So, don't end up hating him extremely. If anything send him to the neutral pile for now. Because something may have happened.
