View Full Version : Life Feeling Down Today

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 avoided going into business with close friends for just this reason. I've always tried to keep my professional and personal lives as separate as possible.

It's a lesson I'm definitely going to heed in the future. It was hard to evaluate those kinds of risks since the business venture started when I was around 18.

My dad taught me early on to never go into business with friends.

Of course, I didn't listen and went in on a musical item with a friend at age 15, which turned into a disaster and pretty much led to us having a falling out that lasted decades.

I learned my lesson the hard way, as most of us tend to do in life.

Good luck, man, and hopefully, it won't be decades before you reconnect.

Absolutely, "in real life" friend. I'll edit the OP.

Okay -gotcha- as opposed to an internet girlfriend you talk dirty to-that turns out to be a dude. :D

Well as an "old school" guy- if you are my true friend-i will give the shirt off my back. And I have.

But things are Much different now-friendship does not mean the same. I have learned that the hard way- as I have grown old and watched my friends-close as brothers only think of themselves. Just recently asking friends and family to help me stop the abuse of my grandson-I was ignored. 40 year friends-acted like I was some beggar with my shine box.

I don't think it is just a generation thing either. I think it is acceptable now days to be selfish and turn your back on anything that does not instantly appease your inner child.

What was the your question again? :) I am sure that does not help at all. See what I did there-ignored your problem and made it all about myself and my pity party.

Here is what you need to do, and it is a bitch. Rain falls on the just and unjust alike. So shit falls apart for everyone. You are not alone so don't blow this up to be something that it isn't. The sun will rise tomorrow and you will get past it. Your battle in life is 100 percent mental. If you can cope with your brain or come to realize that everything out in the world is just bullshit and the real game is how to look at situations, then you are on your way to getting past this shit. Evaluate why you feel bad or down. Does this hurt your money, does this hurt your social status? Oh fucking well that shit will come back and leave again, what stays is your character or integrity. So get out a piece of paper and have a plan and start working that plan until all this is behind you. If you fuck up on your plan try to get back on course quickly and know that most people just do dumb shit all their lives then get aids and die. Thanks for the rep and you can paypal me money at any point.

I agree with you, stevie. It's difficult to let go but it's better than being the only one who wants to hold on. Some people let pride or something else get in the way of their decision to not maintain a friendship. So, if they want to walk away, wish them well and move on.

Everybody knows don't get into business with family (says the douchebag farming his family farm). It really means that business is inherently risky and sometimes doesn't work out and you need to walk away. Accordingly, you have to be prepared to walk away. As such, you can't do business with people you aren't prepared to walk away from.

As far as recommendations, my recommendation is to set emotion aside, and be open and honest about communication, expectations, and what went wrong.

Be amicable the entire time and maybe your relationship can be salvaged.

Best of luck, man.

For a little background on the business side. The venture is actually going well. Quite well, much better than any of us could have envisioned as teenagers. We're not rolling in the Benjamins by any means, but I feel confident in saying the work we do is effective and serves a real purpose. Our problems have, ultimately, grown the more we have expanded our operations.

To those saying "who cares?" You're right in a way and I fully understand where you're coming from. This guy was one of my truest friends and someone I worked with almost every day in some the formative years of my life. I know I'll be okay, even if we don't talk again, but today I've been hit relatively hard with this development.

Never feel down. I'm almost 3 times your age and I will promise you one thing, the path is always upward. Every relationship that has ended has been replaced by a better one. Every friend by a better one. You know why? Because from such endings comes experience, and wisdom and the ability to better discern people that are not only great people but compatible with what makes you the best person you can be.

Experience is a great teacher after the fact, but you can learn from others.

Not all families are close and maybe that is what is bothering OP so much that he felt like his bestie irl friend was more like family member than friend.


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.

So in between my 30 minute checks I started chit chat with her. That was a mistake I soon regretted. She wouldn't shut the fuck up and went on about an ex shot her in the leg with buck shot and I'm thinking I could imagine why as she went on about her personal life. Psycho RN on the spot.

Had a severe falling out with a friend years back over a failed business venture that we had both risked much on. The devastation over the failed attempt was magnified by the loss of several friends. I tried to hold onto the friendships. We are still "Facebook" friends, but the desire to actually get together and hang out is gone and probably not coming back.

Best advice I can give is to move on, forgive any injustices that were done to you whether they are sorry or not, and forgive yourself for whatever part you had in it. No use hanging on.

Why do you gotta be a dick about this to the guy?

He is feel down which is natural considering the circumstance he is involved in.

He is just trying to reach out and is asking for other people's perspectives about his situation. Where did he act like a 13 year old? That's just you being condescending and you expose yourself as not the greatest person to talk to in difficult situations. I certainly wouldn't rely on you for advice that's for sure:rolleyes:

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.

He won't pass the butter either

That's inexcusable. No one stands between me and my butter. Bread without butter is ... well, it's still delicious, but it's indescribably more delicious with butter.

On a side note, I went to a retirement dinner last week for someone I didn't really know (marketing reasons), and they had the best retirement dinner food I've ever had. I was quite impressed. I thought about that because I was at a ten-person table and I was on the opposite side from the butter, which caused me consternation until someone finally started passing it around.

I feel like making political ads against Hoover now.

Hoover steals dinner rolls. Hoover steals your girl. Hoover has alligator arms at check time.

Hoover, ain't nobody got time for that.

..really small, fast scrolling fine print.
*I've had dinner with Hoover, I do not recall him eating the last roll, stiffing me with the check or stealing my woman.

Actually, these are all true traits, so go ahead and run your negative ads Iowanian. Meanwhile, my team has already generated multiple attack ads to respond with.

I really do think one of the best traits on can have is being assertive. Now most who know me would never describe me that way. Be assertive and aggressive over things that actually matter. So yeah, in there is a one dinner roll left in the basket after going around the table, I'm going to grab it. If I don't like the pre-plated dessert at my spot at the table but that cheesecake at the place next to me catches my eye, I'm going to do the switch.

Just last week I had a vendor come in and tell me they screwed up and didn't bill me correctly for the past year and now I owe them $16,000. I just laughed at him. Told him I really liked him personally, but I view his company like a satellite cable provider and that I'm more than willing to drop him and give his competitor a shot at my business. LOL Helped I had a bunch of shit from his main competitor all over my desk when he came in.

Yes, Iowanian could probably kick my ass, but if he tried my wife would probably shoot him dead. She's pretty protective of her man! I'm serious, she kicks ass, I wouldn't fu@k with her.

Punch yourself down in that area where your nuts are supposed to be, go to the nearest MAN-garage and pound some nails into a block of wood or something.

LOL. Earlier this year the coop fertilizer department showed up at the office. I said come on in. Well, it didn't occur to me that I was trying to reconcile my spray bills and wanted to make sure I had all the right prices. I buy all my chemical from a different local company that dad does some farming for. They take really good care of me and are always cheaper than coop, so they get every gallon of business. Well, I had EVERY invoice out spread across my desk. God I felt like an asshole.

I ended up prepaying a mountain of fertilizer a couple months later so I feel better about it.

But I fail to see how getting the last dinner roll is being assertive over things that really mater. :)

Will one do or should I punch the area repeatedly?

If something is worth doing once, it's worth doing more than once. That's my motto anyway.

Do everything once. Take options on seconds.
