There’s one ND guy I have to interact with a lot, who has told me point blank that he enjoys watching me be miserable and seeing me squirm. No amount of trying to be nice has quelled this; in fact, it actuqlly started when I was making an earnest attemptnto be his friend, and he decided to fuck with me to “see what would happen.” I am, as far as I can tell, the only person he does this with. He’s also WILDLY homophobic, but he gets off scot free because most people know he’s ND.
My policy since this shit started is that being ND (even heavily, as in his case) means everyone should be LENIENT, not willing to let fucking anything fly.
To be clear, Im also ND, and most of my friends are too. Its just this one fucking guy, which hey, is the point of this meme!
…no. He is making the active choice to be malevolent, there is no concept of friendship here. He has friends; I am not one. I have made my boundaries clear, and he has just said that he doesnt feel like respecting them.
Also, this is exactly the kind of overapologetic bs that means I can’t just tell him off, because then Im the bad guy for being mean to someone with an imagined tragic backstory.
