Is it normal to feel bothered by a friend?
I have a friend, let's call him 'Al'. Now, Al was a big brother figure to me for a long time. That was, until he insulted an idea I had over an article where I write. I wasn't looking for approval, i was just sharing my idea when, he went off on me that, I should be thinking of the 'demographic and blah blah blah' because, I had an idea about music. When, he's not some record executive; he's a college dropout who is now in remedial English class. I was merely sharing my idea with a friend who I thought was special. Also, not like I'm trying to get my idea to be real, it was just a Halloween-inspired thought for the publicationI write at. I told him, it wasn't what he said, it was the way he said it. Eventually, since he didn't seem to care at all, I explained that I had no intention to ever share my article ideas with again when: he started that, he helps make my ideas better which, he has never done...I'm not mad he criticized my idea, I'm mad over the way he said the words.
His grammar is horrible and, the only reason I ever help him with his grammar anymore is because his grandparents are the sweetest people ever and, I feel bad for them helping his bum ass get through college again.
Now, he likes talking on the phone and via FaceTime, we're similar people in the way we've been raised and our Greek organizations are closely related. But, other than the crappy way he spoke to me, he's just been being more and more of a jerk...
He makes jokes out of everything and doesn't respect that I'm not a religious person by telling me: "God only gives you what you can handle" (knowing very well that I have been suicidal before), then he goes off that: certain racial slurs aren't racial slurs, they're adjectives yet, all of his friends are those races...and, overall, he keeps going on and on about his past.
He bothers me constantly and, he needs other friends. He bothers me so, so much and it's safe to say that he is my friend that I don't like.
Is it weird to feel bothered by him?
