What's Bothering You?

so I'm doing this stupid online drivers ed class cause I failed the driving test (complete waste of $60, I'm literally learning nothing) and one of the things it does is that it has videos that you have to watch all the way through before you can continue. Well there is a video of just a flashing red light, and another video of just a flashing yellow light. They're both two minutes long and they expect me to sit here and just watch a light flash for two minutes straight.

There was also a part that said something like "did you know that if you turn your wheel when backing up the front of the car will turn in the opposite direction???"

Like these people really do think I'm an idiot.

Debate/discussion people with no sense of perspective whatsoever and who desperately want to erase history as if things never existed. Sigh.
 
The last two weeks have been rough. On my heart and my soul. 😕

My best friends seizures have gotten more frequent. I'm worried about him constantly. I feel like nothing I do can help.

On the other side upsetting this guy I know has been scaring me. He's being pushy and emotionally abusive. He's in my circle of friends so I can't really escape him either. If anyones dealt with this before I'd really love some insight? I've expressed my worries to my friends but he's "one of the boys" and they don't take it serious.

You're right regarding the seizures. There is nothing you can do to help. I understand that will come across as blunt, but try to remind yourself that his health isn't your responsibility. It requires a shift in mindset, but you'll be a lot happier in the long-run. It's unhealthy to worry constantly about someone else. He wouldn't want you to be worrying about him either.

With your other friend your two best options are:
  • confront him
  • stop being friends
If you think that his current behaviour is short-term, or the friendship is salvageable, then the first option would be better (given what you've said about him, via message would be better than face to face). Have him realise that you're no longer going to put up with being treated this way. If he thinks you're over-reacting, in the wrong, or doesn't care about your friendship then don't fight him on it; simply walk away. You know what his priorities are and you're not one of them.

If you don't think he is likely to change or that the friendship is worth continuing, I'd opt for the second option. You don't need that sort of negativity in your life and shouldn't be expected to have to put up with it just to please other people. Having mutual friends doesn't mean that the two of you need to be friends too. Be polite, hang out in a group, but don't spend time together or chat one-on-one.
