I am currently debating if I should permanently end a friendship with a selfish Leo friend of mine. When he is depressed (something he suffers with) I am always there willing to lend a hand, a shoulder, inviting him over sometimes to vent. At times we go out and I suggest things to get the worries off of his mind. But he has some ways about him that piss me off. Over the weekend I was pmsing (sorry I know tmi) but I was in a lot of pain and I forgot to purchase some pain meds before it started so I spent most of my weekend in bed praying for relief. Keep in mind he has already known this. The next day I receive a phone call from him but I was in too much pain to speak to anyone. If they called I sent a message saying, "Will call when feeling better." Normally he responds with an okay or something but not this time. After finally gathering the strength to run to the store by the next morning my mood picked up.

I called him up and he answers with the driest voice ever as if I was annoying him. I joked with him like we always do and said, "Next time I call have a little pep in your voice." And he responded with the same attitude. I ignored it told him I am feeling a lot better now that I have my meds and interrupted with that voice again and said, "Let me call you back." I am so sick of his one sided attitude. God forbid something in my life trumps his and this happens. I wont lie I was upset so I sent him a message and said, "The next time you need to vent I will make sure I act like an ass just like you." Should I have just let things go? Am I being a drama queen?"

You should just do whatever you feel, if he gives you the shits you will naturally dispel him from your life, if he values your friendship then he will adjust his attitude.

I think it's always good to keep these kind of friends at a distance on superficial level, you don't need to be emotionally invested in depressed people do you?

I swear I have the exact same friend as you, Leo and depressed is the worst combination, my friend was so emotional I couldn't pull him up on his shitty behaviour without him breaking down so I just whittled him out of my life, now I only meet up with him once a month and let me tell you he is such a nicer person to me now!

I agree it is the worst situation. I sent his call straight to voicemail. He ended up apologizing saying he is sorry and that his girlfriend/ex girlfriend (depending on the day of the week) was standing infront of him so he didn't know how to react. Um....why? I am not your girl or your side chick...I am strictly your friend so why would you need to be an ass to me for no reason? I decided not to respond. I am over the bs. To be honest I am sick of his whining and hearing about his push and pull relationship with her that sends him back and fourth to a therapist.

They're both crazy...she can never make up her mind with him. He loves those crazy dramatic relationships where he is treated like crap. I think he likes being a victim.
