Thank you, it’s really nice and rare to find someone who can sympathize. It’s a really terrible dynamic when everyone KNOWS the behavior is not normal/acceptable, but you’re all much too tired to really fight them on it anymore. Most people don’t really believe me when I talk about my experiences with her, especially from when I was younger. I’m sorry you had to experience that, but again, I appreciate the empathy, and hope that your situation is either already improved or improves soon.

I think the best thing you can do is be honest and open about your feelings. Speaking personally, If I were this guy and I cared for you as much as it sounds like he does, I’d want to make sure we’re on the same page. Tell him how much you value your friendship and how despite the fact that you don’t really know how to sort your feelings out regarding this new development you definitely want to work things through.

The hardest part of talking about this kind of stuff is usually just starting to talk about it. I usually build it up in my head to be a great big scary thing, but it’s just a real conversation between two friends about their emotions. No matter what, you’ll be fine. You got this.

Wait, your friend is a competitive one so he pushes YOU to go faster? And just reaching out to increase your speed?

He should be the one feeling guilty and at least a bit apologetic lol

To say that you have to cover your face..errr your friend sounds like a bit of a dick lmao

"working as intended" yeh... I mean it's totally failed as a currency, store of value, etc. Attempts in large scale to adopt it failed. It is technically hindered by a terrible transaction speed.

The goalposts just keep moving with people like you.
