“Oh hey, need some help? Help me first with my fake bullshit”

Okay, so I was friends with this guy last year and I was desperate for friends. We got along pretty well, but around May this year I started self harming. I opened up to him, and at first he was extremely nice and sweet, but then he started acting...weird.

Turns out, this asshole apparently “had depression for 3 years now”. And hear me out, I believed him. My situation got worse and worse and his also got “worse”. When I needed some support from him, he immediately started begging for attention and just trying to be as sad as possible. I invested all my time and energy into helping him, and after a while he got the help he “needed”. He got really mad at me because “he didn’t want the help” and “he was okay on his own”. A red alarm started going off but I ignored it.

A week later we are talking and I admitted that I relasped. He got really mad at me and first said that if I didn’t throw away my razors he would do it. TYI, self harm can be an addiction and for me it was (and still is) the case. Then, he just said: “Let’s just say, I can’t live with the fact that you keep hurting yourself”. He was literally saying that he would kill himself if I didn’t stop. This put some GREAT pressure on me.

He kept trying to get all the attention, but after a while I just said I didn’t want to be friends anymore. At first, he didn’t accept that and threatened to kill himself if I stopped being friends with him. At first I stressed, but then I realised what kind of fucker that guy was, so I just blocked that asshole.

3 months after our friendship ended, I found out he was faking his depression. I have a lot of proof for this and I am not going to tell it all, but let’s just say that the fucking asshole made up things to get attention. All the attention he managed to get out of me should have been invested in trying to help myself. This is still fucking with me to this day and what he did was unacceptable. Faking this shit is actually such a dickmove. Thank god we don’t speak anymore..
