Still upset about what my friend said last night. I somewhat gave up on our closeness a while ago since he got into a relationship.
But to think that someone you considered family thinks so little of your capabilities is hurtful.
Full disclosure: I'm on disability support pension. The way it works is if you're employed you report your income and if something happens, you don't have to reapply.
So when he said "maybe you should just stay on DSP", it was like a knife in the chest.
Sorry for the rant, but it's been bugging me.
This isnt the same guy who uses you as an emotional support pillow, right?
Sadly it is. It's my own fault for letting these people into my life. But sometimes you're desperate just to have friends. Especially when you don't have family.
I hear you. And I get it, I do. It’s just that from what you’ve said about this dude it really sounds like he’s more antagonist than companion.
