Aaron has been a friend of mine for a while. Well kind of, he’s within my “crowd” but the guy needs help. I’m a bit of a sucker for a lost cause and we’ve had more of a councilor / patient relationship of late. He is a bit of a mentalist to say the least and has been going through a few problems recently. He dramatises everything and is massively paranoid, mostly because he takes a lot of drugs. I’ve been trying to be there for him a bit recently, providing a sofa to crash on and generally being a good friend. I don’t find him attractive in the slightest and I’ve never done anything to give him the impression otherwise.
Last night I receive a worrying text from him. It said that he’s flipped out, it was always going to happen, he’s leaving London but thanks for being there. So I call him and he’s telling me that he flipped out after I told him to fuck off at my party. I assure you that did not happen. He makes stuff up to be upset about. He said he kind of loves me, that he’s glad that he’s said is and it’s out loud now. Well what do you say to that? I opted for “don’t say that, you know I don’t feel the same way.” then made my excuses after a few niceties so he didn’t think I was being a complete bitch.
It’s a bit disturbing to be honest. Here you have a guy one minute telling you he’s unhinged and the second telling you he loves you. Not really the safest mixture and what do I do now? I have a friend who’s flipping out and needs people around him but at the same time I can’t encourage him or lead him on.
