I.i.n to not want to be friends with someone because....

So i met this guy about 3 months ago and we hit it off right away as friends. I consider myself a little rough around the edges, im not the "sensitive type" when it comes to emotions and problems. I never have drama or problems with my group of friends i hang with. But ever since this guy was introduced to our group, we have had nothing but drama, and it always seems to come from him. I can be a little insenstive and sarcastic sometimes, but thats how i joke. This new friend is so sensitive and it drives me nuts how upset he gets over little things(i always apologize to him too). It would not bother me except for the time he told me he cut himself because of what i said. i swear to you that what i said was not bad at all. I dont know what to do, i dont think i can be friends with someone who gets so upset over little things. What if i say the wrong thing and he kills himself? Im scared for him, but at the same time i feel very little sympathy for him. I dont know what to do?

  • "Insensitive and sarcastic" at inappropriate times (AKA: when your in the company of a sensitive person) makes you an asshole. Grow up and learn when to keep it to yourself.

    His life isn't your responsibility. Obviously he has issues he needs to address. It's not your job to help him if you don't want it to be. So a friend would understand and if you don't care to help, there's your sign. Get me?

    You guys are bad for eachother. If you can't learn when to hold your tongue then avoiding him is the second best choice.

    You're not an asshole. You might like a little teasing but you're not a bad person.

    thanks for the comments, good and bad...I've been making a conscious effort to be more aware of the things i say around him. Things have been a lot better.

    i realize that some people can take a joke lightly and others simply cannot.

  • All of my friends are sarcastic, we Tease each other all the time and no one ever cares. It's awesome.

    ^^Yeah who cares about some emo who hurts himself because he was teased? Once you're past six years old you have to get used to some friendly teasing and not take every thing everyone says so seriously. I'd look like Freddie Kruger by now of I cut myself every time I got insulted or teased by somebody, get over it baby.

    Actually... it sounds like myself. I wouldn't give a shit, if he dies. Accept my sense of humor or don't. Not my problem, I don't insult anyone and in serious situations I shut up.

  • The simplest solution would be to continue in your current course of action until he bleeds to death.
