What do you think of people who criticise you because you like someone that they do not like?

Have you ever had a problem with someone that you thought was your friend but they try to give you shit because you are friends with someone that they don't like?

Why would anyone want to be that way? Isn't that really pathetic?

I have had that happen before and I let that "friend" go. It is very pathetic and childish. In my opinion, if someone has a problem with who you are friends with, simply for the reason that they do not like them, they weren't really your friend anyway.

The only exception would be if this other person was clearly causing you harm in some way.


By the way, Tony... Grrr... you beat me to it!

I think it would depend on the situation. If we have been friends for years and all of the sudden you say the Grand dragon of the Klu Klux Klan is a good friend of yours , i think we would have a problem. Who you associate with can say alot about YOU in my opinion.

People like that can kiss my ass!

Then you have friends who don't want you to have any other friends at all. You have to be with this friend every day and god forbid if you don't call them one day or invite them somewhere with you. Fucking freakazoids!

Yes, I have.

People like that lose my friendship, because I do not like to feel uncomfortable. Putting me down because of those I associate with is really none of anyones business but my own. There are exceptions.

If this person were concerned or worried that my friendship with this other person would do harm, then that is another deal entirely. This would mean that they care.

It is pathetic if they are merely judging the character/appearance of the other person, and putting me down for it.

If done out of care and concern, then I would respect that, and take into consideration what they were saying.

If friend A doesn't like friend B, immediately drop friend B to please friend A. You should live your whole life according to everybody else's expectaions and not worry about making yourself happy. You're not here to be you, you're here to fit in! smile

I don't like it at all.
My opinion is that friend A has some control issues and those situations make me feel very uncomfortable. I would end up putting some distance between myself and that person and then let things happen. Usually, it would end up that the relationship would fizzle out on its own without an abrupt ending and that would be just fine by me. If not, then I would tell that person what my opinion is that that usually sends them packing.
What's going on that you would ask this question?

I don't want to mention any names, but there is a certain person on this site who doesn't like me (and is most likely the mystery voter) who is giving another org member shit and being a real asshole to him/her because he/she is friendly with me.

I feel bad for the person who is being berated by the cowardly idiot and I just wanted to see if I was off in my thinking.

The "mystery voter" is amusing me with the quick fingers in voting! How quickly can you get it down to 1.0?

So what you are saying is.. We have a full grown adult who feels so dissatisfied with themselves that instead of seeking the professional advice they need, will come hide in here and take the time to berate another.
HMMM..well I understand the logic! It's by far easier to go on feeling lowly then to do the work that will make you feel whole. Because after all IM sure its everyone else's fault that there life is crap! Pardon me while I go cry in my coffee for them and what this planet has done to them.
In fact though this post is an attempt at logic. Unfortunately it ( and my post) will only serve to insight them. They take no responsibility for them or there remarks .. ( hence forth the "hiding" ) but what do i know?

Well, while your thinking is always off in my mind (booyah!!..lol), it's definitely not in this case...well, kinda is, shmaybe, because right now you said this person is criticising someone you like because they don't like you...as where in the first post you said they were criticizing you because they didn't like someone you liked...

Or am I off here???...(Where's my damn Coke??)

I was actually not referring to myself in the topic... I just asked a general question about people who criticize "you" in the general sense... meaning the reader.

Why not air it out?It may help the person.The biggest damage you can do in this situation is avoid telling the truth.Otherwise you are just as guilty for denying the person the chance to face themselves.

I would bet that the culprit knows who they are and recognized that they were the subject of this topic. The person who is being harassed by the other person did not ask me to post the topic, so I will let them out the other person if they want the information let out of the bag. I don't think that it would be right for me to actually mention the names of the other parties, so I just made a generic post about it.
