Kept having too many arguments the last couple of years. Landlady living in the house is someone he hates. Every so often he projects yet another despised characteristic of hers on to me.

Late Oct. he called to yell, scream and swear. I had taken too long to mail something I had to make for him that he wanted. Indeed I did take a while, still I thought he was a little excessive since I'd told him just HOURS before this that I was mailing it the next day.

I was pissed and told him so in an email some days later. He ignored everything I said. Continued to ask for another item he wanted. I pressed the issue and it got worse from there. He kept emailing back more and more snide remarks every time. I sent him the damn stuff he wanted and put myself at more of a distance.

He emailed the NIGHT BEFORE Thanksgiving. Said "Happy Thanksgiving" and "Got the stuff. Thanks! Etc., etc., etc....." I didn't check my email until Thanksgiving EVENING I was so busy. By then, he emailed a second time, calling me a bitch for not acknowledging his previous email.

I was shocked and mad. From that point on it got worse. Nothing I said got through. Another reply with another jab from him. I finally had to say my peace and tell him I was done talking. He followed that up with yet another dig.

I am sad that his refusal to see how he acted, and his continued insults finished ruining our friendship. And I'm pissed off with myself for letting all he said bother me to begin with.

I stayed friends with him because it wasn't all bad. He was much nicer a few years ago and we bonded and were pretty decent friends that respected one another. He's all alone and has no family or real, longstanding friends now. The times I felt like ending the friendship before, I never did because I'd always feel guilty. Ugh!

Not you op I was referring to mister optimistic being too serious. Annnnyyywaaay. ..

On topic.. sometimes a Virgo will intentionally sabotages a friendship.

They have their reasons. Sometimes valid sometimes not. While it takes them time to figure things out on their own. It's hard to fix what they intentionally break.

Loner life style consists of pushing people away.

Comfort zone.

they're pessimistic 90




Fact !!

But, everything serves a purpose. There is balance in the world.

who really wants everything to be unicorns and butterflies?

The problem is that a person has this trait .... it's that everyone around them has negative feelings about the person, when no negativity is intended with that trait.

it's very bizarre to me how ignorant people are. If thy hear something they don't like, especially about themselves, they become utter assholes ... but, feel justified within themselves to be this asshole, eventhough it makes them exactly as the person they complain about.

People are really this ignorant !!!!

Before the above quote, you had just finished telling us that you have been friends with him for a couple years. Certainly, in that time, you had gotten to know him well enough to know what would set him off. Certainly, you would have gotten to know him well enough to know his character, values and standards.

So, that means that you would have already known that if you purposely neglected to do something that you told him you would do ... that it would be a thorn in his side.

So, my question is: Why did you intentionally set out to rub him the wrong way?

You stated that know full well that you took an excessive amount of time to do something for him that you promised to do promptly ... if this were not true then you wouldn't have a need to say: "Indeed I did take a while".

I understand being frustrated .... but, I don't understand your justification for trashing him, when you purposely pissed him off.

that doesn't show bad on his character .... it shows bad on yours.

Not relating to any zodiac sign or male/female. Strictly something I've learned as I've aged. "Busy" is bull shit. When one wants to make time for something/someone, they will. I'm not talking about the "busy at work couldn't answer your text" thing. I mean, "Sorry you haven't heard from me in two weeks/months/years. I've been really busy."

bull shit.

It could be reversed and say the same things about virgos. Both sides can be just as much ignorant. Someone being pessimist all the time isn't something people want to be around mostly. They can keep it real but don't complain if people can't stick around too much negativity. That's not what makes people continue to fight and survive on this World, but Hope does.
