ive been helping my friend over come his past.....
he was in a relationship with a girl...
she called him hot. said he was great made him fell good.
all she was doing was convincing herself that she was cool her need for a constant feeling of self worth was where the words came from. *my impression of her thoughts* "im cool i have a cool boyfriend"
she lied to him, cheated on him, made him feel incapeable....
he asked a friend out last week....
she said no....
and now in all of his confusion he still feels like hes incapeable....
he thinks hes a dork.... that he isnt adventurous... or corageous... and has no confidance in himself or his abilities.
and one thing he said while we were talking last night really got to me "i would be happy if i never saw her(his ex) again for the rest of my life."....
when you pair this comment with the fact that he tell me when im upset "play a video game it makes everything better"
he is avoiding his past... he thinks its over... i know by reading this you people think he is fine... but he is not.... his past relationship is holding him back... we talked for like 2 hours last night and the only conclusion i came up with was that he was confused about what happened.... so this is going to be a two part thing... breaking through the confusion to find the hidden emotions and then dealing with them.
before i went to bed he said thanks. thanks for talking to me. no one has ever talked to me about it. i want to talk more. no one has ever listed and cared.
its not his fault but he wants help he wants a happy ending. he wants to deal with it. he is now willing to acknowledge the pain. so he is already part way there. im his friend. he needs help. you dont need to ask for help in order to get it from a friend. they know. friends always know.
ex. i went to erins party i get there and know something is wrong. she was wearing a sweat suit and hadnt done her hair. i know that she is just with friends but even if she is just with me she always gets all ready for the day. and it was like two aclock in the afternoon. the next day she came down with the flu.
i always say first impressions are the most improtant thing. i met Miles the guy she cheated on her boyfriend Adam with. the next day when i call her i tell her Miles is hiding something hes not acting like how he feels. she says i know he was weird that day. i knew from the moment i met him he wasnt being real. and then i tell her she is going to end up with Adam and not Miles because what she has with Miles is only skin deep. and in the most sclient voice she says "i know". i love erin she loves me. im the voice of her deepest feelings. the ones she avoids.
