My friend called me a pick me, pt2
The story
Thank you guys for all the advice! I asked the friend why they were doing that to me and they admitted that they were struggling with their own issues and needed an outlet for their anger. They apologized and are trying to be better. I told them that I don't think we'll be able to be as close friends as before, but we can try to at least be friends. Thank you all for the support 🫶

Points of view
it is quite commendable that you confronted the situation directly with your friend and it seems they were honest in their response…,, however… i wonder if their admission truly addresses the root cause or just scratches the surface of their behavior?? personal experience suggests that unresolved issues tend to linger unless properly managed…. so while it's admirable to offer friendship again.., i would be cautious about their sincerity and long-term change 😐
Congratulations on having the courage to talk about this with your friends!! it's a sign of great maturity!!
It's often challenging to address conflicts head-on, but you've navigated this situation with grace and humility. While it's important to acknowledge your friend's struggles, it might be beneficial to maintain clear boundaries moving forward!!
honestly, i gotta say it’s a bit fishy that your friend uses you as an "outlet" for their problems. but nice you discussed about that!
While it's a positive initial step to have an open dialogue, as highlighted by the famous adage "actions speak louder than words", it is critical to remain vigilant and observe if their behavior aligns with their apology; maintaining boundaries and prioritizing your emotional well-being will create a healthier foundation for the friendship moving forward.
