<p>Ask for advice on friendship drama on this board? I know it's a silly question, but I want to make sure before I look even more stupid than I probably already do. x)</p>
<p>probably. i recommend that you not take most of the advice you will receive seriously though.</p>
<p>:p oh well.</p>
<p>I’ve known this boy for a while and we’ve kinda had a rocky friendship. but i guess i could say we’re close-ish. We’ve been in a few arguments, some big and nasty, but each has resolved. Even so, he’s quite… moody. For a while he’ll be nice to me and talk to me constantly and actually treat me as a friend, but then he goes into periods where he’ll ignore me and be stark for no reason. Rinse, wash, repeat. I help him out with a lot of stuff and sometimes I go out of my way in his advantage, but his moody cycle is ongoing. If he doesn’t like me, then I’d appreciate him just telling me and not pretending to be my friend. But when he’s not angry and actually talking to me, it doesn’t seem like he’s just trying to be nice.</p>
<p>He’s a bit… different, so when I try to present this problem he doesn’t listen. If I were to try to ditch him, all hell would break loose. Additionally, his elder brother is a teacher at the school we go to which might have a bad influence if anything were to ever happen.</p>
<p>I’m lost. If I knew I could get by with it, I’d tell him off. :)</p>
<p>Sorry for such a long post. Lol</p>
<p>I hate friends like that, I had a lot my freshman year but figured it best to just distance myself. I can’t stand wondering if someone likes me or not, so either you’re my friend or not. Especially for guy? I wouldn’t put up with it. I’d just…distance myself, not hang out with him, not pay him any mind (especially if he’s in a “mood”), forget him unless he starts to consistently be nice.</p>
<p>And no teacher should treat you any different because you’re not friends with his brother, they should be more professional than that and I bet he knows his brothers acts so weird so he wouldn’t blame you for any of it.</p>
<p>Once when I distanced myself from him during an argument, he kept e-mailing me and communicating through other mediums. When he ignores me I keep to myself. Then his mood changes. I just don’t enjoy this never-ending cycle.</p>
<p>I don’t dislike him, I just dislike the way he treats me. He’s rather popular, or he thinks he is, even though a lot of people could say he’s annoying.</p>
<p>Are Indians known to be a bit quirky? Lol (Not trying to be racist. Every race has pros and cons)</p>
<p>How long did you ignore him? (cause I had to do it for 6 months before they left me be, now they kiss my butt, still don’t like them)</p>
<p>Not for very long. Probably a few weeks… he asked for forgiveness and I gave in because he kept saying he wanted to reestablish himself and be a better person to both me and someone else.</p>
<p>Is he like this just to you or to everyone? If the latter, he could be bipolar.</p>
<p>I usually only notice it around me only, but it could be since we’re a bit closer than he is to other people. Or maybe he doesn’t like me. =/ He’s hard to understand sometimes.</p>
<p>I have a friend * just * like that! I would advise you to distance yourself from him as that is what I did…and I am glad I did that. I think you should still say hi when you see him, but and talk every now and then…but don’t get too attached, because then you have to deal with his moods again 
those are icky.</p>
<p>I just don’t know if it’s him or if it’s me. I feel guilty whenever he’s mad especially considering he doesn’t treat anyone else like this.</p>
<p>I doubt he’s bipolar, just wants attention from you, wants to have you thinking about him, all that. Just pay him no mind (for a long time, hang with other friends), it ruins people like this.</p>
<p>I have a friend exactly like that too. It’s a little more complicated than yours though. I only wish I had the answer. I just got used to it and accepted it for what it is. It sucks, but there’s nothing that can be done.</p>
<p>Thanks for all of the advice. Right now I think he’s ignoring me again. We’re communicating via Facebook this summer and lately he’s been nonresponsive. Usually he comments everything on my wall and talks all the time, and does so for others, but I’ve gotten nothing from him for a few days (I’ve seen him active on my news feed though). Doesn’t seem like a big deal but if you knew this kid, it’d be rather noticable lol. I’m not gonna ask about it and let it be.</p>
<p>My face when the person you’re talking about kind of sounded like me:

You might just be misinterpreting his actions, it seems to me like you’re kind of overanalyzing this</p>

<p>Just sounds moody. Maybe some stuff happened, and he’s upset?</p>
