a friend of mine is from the same type of your friend, he have issues with everyone cause he misunderstand friendship , I bet your friend is from the type that think they can own anything even their friends, hes from this type, well I didn't have any problem with him to be honest, is not show off but I know how to deal with many many type of people, as I said I didn't have any problem dealing with him......however other friends have a lot of problems with him, I always tell them the problem not from him, from you guys but they didn't listen to me I told them this and I'm also tell you and others who read this topic... no matter what relationship ( friendship, love, brotherhood...etc) and no matter who you have relationship ( friend, co-worker, lover, husband, mother.....etc) always make boarders and lines and don't cross it and don't let the other person cross that boarders and lines, depend on who is that person and what is relationship the boarders and lines will differentiate.
I tried to make them understand that but they didn't, and guess what? the only person that kept in touch with that friend is me.....
