Replies Annastasia Posted at 5:40 am on Mar. 8, 2007 It sounds like both of you are going through a hard time. That's always hard, because it can be hard for the other person to "forget" their problems for a little bit, and help the other one. However, it sounds like he isn't really willing to do this, while you are willing to. Have you tried speaking with him about this? Maybe you two could work something out where you will both listen to each other, and try to support the other. In return, you will get support. He may just need you to sit down and ask him this. He may be so caught up in his own problems, he just isn't thinking clearly, and he isn't realizing the pain you are going through. If he truly is unwilling to support you, then the best thing I can suggest is that you still try to be there for him, but you also try to find another support system. You'll need it in these trying times. Do you have any other close friends? Or could you even just call and talk to your parents? You deserve to have someone behind you. =) Avnged7foldlvrLauren Posted at 10:27 am on Mar. 7, 2007 aww. dont take that. hatenbopps Posted at 10:26 am on Mar. 7, 2007 dont take no shi* from no one! if shes doing this to you and shes your friend why dont you put her straight?i only read the first 2 sentences and it pissed me off. you need to stand up for yourself. howdidido29 Posted at 10:15 am on Mar. 7, 2007 first of all you need to give him a little time because he probley took the news by shock and dont worry if hes really your friend he will come around!!! Rosaur Posted at 10:13 am on Mar. 7, 2007 The news you told him has had a negative affect on him, this is probably his way of letting off steam. Things may be difficult for him, I think he needs some space, give it to him. When he's ready, he should come to talk to you Taylor Rawrs Posted at 10:12 am on Mar. 7, 2007 Oh my God I know how you feel,cept the cancer thing.I try to help my friends 24/7 and put them before me,but sometimes I feel like they could careless about my problems.I mean one of my friends was having some bad problems and didn't bother to ask me if I was ok with the guy I liked dating his ex.Anyways,this is about you not me I was just saying I can relate.Your friend might be shocked and doesn't want to think about the cancer thing or might just be ignorant and not the best to ask for advice.I'm really sorry and hope you don't have cancer,I'm here if you need someome to talk to.Seriously though who the fuck yells at someone when they just heard the might have cancer?You have every right to be upset and I'm surprised you didn't go off on him. AnubisXX Posted at 10:11 am on Mar. 7, 2007 well he might be embarressed about you haven to look out for him, he may think he's the man and should be looking out for you, guys act really like asshole's when they loose self pride. or you maybe right about what you think that's kinda odd and tricky mo money17 Posted at 10:10 am on Mar. 7, 2007 You need to concern Yourself with your problems then maybe worry about his when everything with you is alright. You gotta look after #1, right? chester187 Posted at 10:10 am on Mar. 7, 2007 i don't know you but I care Sour Posted at 10:09 am on Mar. 7, 2007 Well, first off... give the guy a lil break... sometimes when people are having a horrible time... being confronted by others. tell him how you feel, and it hurts you to see him like that, and that you cant stand the way he acts towards you.
