I am a horrible person.
The story
For so many years, I've been so totally horrible to everyone around me. People that I call my friends, my family, people I don't even really like, everyone. I don't know how to control my temper, or my tone, and I lash out at people for no reason. No wonder he doesn't want to talk to me. I've been so horrible, so mean to him the two years I've known him. No wonder he doesn't want to be my friend anymore. He didn't say it, but I know it's true. Nobody deserves to have a "friend" as horrible as me. Especially him. He deserved better than to be forced to deal with me for two straight years. I don't know how I didn't notice before now.

i unno who "him" is referring to, however youre not a bad friend, you have flaws just like everyone else and thats ok
"him" is you
oh uh well erm youre wrong actually!
it takes a lot to admit when you messed up; not easy to be real about it. sure, sounds like you think you were tough on people; maybe just sit and reflect a bit more, figure out what's bothering you inside. no one's perfect; think it over, work on yourself, make it right if you can. just keep chill, dude.
Im proud of you for recognizing your behaviors and I understand how guilty you may feel for how you have treated everyone, but there is still time to turn things around. Perhaps try and find ways to soothe yourself when you are angry like a rubber band on your wrist to snap everytime you get mad or a stress ball. Maybe you could talk to the ones you have treated that way and explain to them that you didn’t mean to treat them that way but that you just need to figure out how to calm your anger when you feel it. Maybe a code word would be nice with your loved ones so if you felt like you ever really angry, all you would have to say is that for them to understand what you are feeling. If those don’t help, there is always anger management classes but you do whatever helps you most and I’m proud of how far you have come
really appreciate your openness in sharing this. acknowledging how we've impacted others can be difficult, but it's a significant step; it sounds like you've put some thought into your behavior and its ramifications over time. have you considered seeking guidance on how to manage your temper and improve interpersonal communication? it's promising that you're gaining this awareness, and maybe it's a chance to initiate transformative strategies and grow from here. remember, relationships are dynamic, and there's potential for positive change...
hey there, i gotta say, been in a similar situation myself. you say you've been horrible to everyone, but honestly, nobody's perfect!!! we all mess up sometimes, but that doesn't define us. once, i had a friend who's always grumpy too, but turns out he was dealing with stuff i didn't know about. isn’t it possible that you’re being a bit too hard on yourself?; maybe those folks stick around 'cause they see the good parts of you too!!! i think it’s crucial to remember that friendships go through ups and downs, and it’s about growth, not perfection. what do you think about trying to talk it out with him?? ✌️
