The problem is that people rarely return the favor. It seems that every week another friend has disappointed him. He gets very sad when a guy won't return his phone calls. I try to explain that guys aren't big on phones (he chats like a teenage girl on his cell), but no explanation helps. He thinks he must be unlikeable (not true- people like him a lot).
What I see happening is that he picks people to befriend who have no friend skills themselves. He picks sort of "losery" friends and then takes it personally when they act like losers and don't treat him right. The only guy he's befriended recently who is good friend material absolutely won't talk on phones- even to his own family-and is busy working 24/7. It's truly not personal that he's not calling or hanging out more, but my husband can't see it.
He notices that I have good, loyal friends, and I have to tell him it's because I pick them that way! Do any other Scorps have trouble picking good friends? Do you find that other people can't live up to your level of loyalty?
