Life Feeling Down Today - Page 5

Chiefspants · 01:09 PM

It looks as though I'm on the verge of falling out with a close irl edit*(in real life) friend that I have had for 7 years. I can't really go into specifics, but mixing work with friendship (even when it happens naturally) is a difficult balance.

I'm pretty down about it. Does anyone have experience with this type of thing and want to share? I could truly use some perspective here.

Also feel free to use this thread to post gifs or anything funny - or not, it could also be a roast of all things Chiefspants.

inb4 - "Chiefspants has irl friends?!", "Who is Chiefspants?" and "A concoction of antifreeze will ease the pain."

Thanks, everybody.

I've only lost one true friend, and figured it was permanent. But after ten years she showed back up, we apologized, and we're pals again. If it's a true friendship it'll come back.

If it is something else, confront the issue and get on with your friendship.

Women hold grudges for years over stupid garbage, Men can scream and yell, even fistfight, and forget everything once its settled and its never brought up again...

If you are truly men, which you are at 24, tell him why you are upset and fix it. If he doesn't want to fix it then move on.

Good luck... you can't buy the knowledge you will get from this experience.

Pretty solid advice.

I don't tell my brother everything that's bothering me or when I'm really down I tend to isolate from family. So reaching out here to unknown people may have been his best option because when you are not thinking clearly reaching out is a way to go.

He knew he would get some smart ass remarks and I think he embraced them just incase so in OP he did a pre notion for those. I admire the guy for reaching out here I really do and it was quite frankly a brave thing of him. Because people are assholes waiting to pounce. It's true.

Yes, you are right that not all families are not free and open minded. This is the problem himself. So that, he couldn't express everything to them.

I think the friend is a chic.

This is where I'd insert a meme of a little guy carrying a fat girl with a quote about him trying to pack her out of the friend zone but getting shut down.

7 year relationship at age 24 WTF dude.

Go out and have some fun.

UnLESS...

We did this thread before.

It was called "Is Love worth losing your best friend".

Hoover · 01-30-2017, 02:08 PM

I've lost a good firend.

This girl he was dating was outstanding. Way too good for his loser ass. So I swooped in.

Lost a friend, found my wife.

If there is something you really want in life, go after it.

Same rules apply in business.

Note: if having dinner with Hoover, be sure to grab the last roll before he goes after it.
