Am I being unreasonable or what………..

Yeah, so let me tell you a little bit about my life for the last month here in Kota…….

Well, as me and Vipul were room partners, obviously we talked a lot to each other. I think I would not be wrong to say that we know everything about each other. I even found out from him, that I knew less about my “friends” back home then I could have ever imagined. I felt sad, cuz it reflected on me as a friend, you know, that these people never entrusted me enough to tell me about themselves. So, anyway, I found out that he’s a nice guy, a little spoilt, u know, chasing girls and ghedian and all. But, he liked this one girl in his colony and the last day, the night of which our train was supposed to leave, he proposed(not a marriage proposal) to her and she said yes.

He told me all about his feelings, every thing he did and said in front of her, that helped him win her. We even tried the Game together for a few days.  I used to call her home, as she didn’t have a cell phone, and I could make a girl’s voice. I even supported and tried to console him at every moment for those 15 days he could not contact her. We were like Joey and Chandler for that one month…. really, we told each other everything.

The night that I shifted, Rohan (another friend of ours here) told me that he was feeling lonely and told me to call and of course I did. And now, I think he doesn’t really need me. He called me this morning, while I was in class, at like 9 to call her home, and ask her to call his cell. I called her home 3 times before the class and 2 times during the interval. She told me, during the last call, that some problem was occurring as her mom was enquiring that who was calling so many times.

I went to Vipul’s PG after class ended at 1, and he wasn’t there. I called his cell and he told me that he was at the classes, and wouldn’t be free till after 7:30. I was worried all day, I know I shouldn’t have been, but I was, and this is the only place I can write the truth, right? I was worried, that their relationship might be discovered because of me, or whether she had called him or not……..

So I call him, at 7:45 and his phone is busy, at 7:50, its busy, 8:15, he finally picks up. So, I try to ask him stuff about it all, and other things, and I feel like he doesn’t really wanna talk to me. He stopped inbetween, and I think didn’t wanna talk to me about it. So I just wanted to ask, is that all there is? I mean you could have called me and informed me that all is well, but you didn’t. You call me only when you need a favour, or a job done…. and when I call you, you don’t even talk to me properly, or don’t wanna talk. Is that all there is to friendship, selfishness? Am I being unreasonable, cuz I bet I am, but anyone who reads my blog knows that I’m emotional about friends. But, what do you guys think?

  1. Well, I don’t think you’re being unreasonable in trying to tell him that it isn’t right to only ask you for favours and not be there when you need him. But the question is, has it always been like that or is it only now?

    Because if it’s now, maybe she’s been having some trouble with her or something like that. You know how we guys are, we do go into a shell and don’t even talk to our friends. That’s what girls are better at, they share. We believe in keeping our feelings inside. So maybe that could be the case with him. If he’s always been like that, you should confront him and tell him that it isn’t right. If he still doesn’t bother, well, then you’ve got only one option which is to move on.

    No, he hasn’t always been like this, thats what i’m saying…….
    u know its like a movie, when u know each and every aspect of a story, u yearn to know more….he used to tell me everything he said to her and her reaction abt it…. ………
    And thats why i think, that if something would have been wrong, he could tell me, i even tried to ask him abt it yesterday, but he didn’t talk to me openly, i tried to meet with him today, but he wasn’t there. I’m not saying that I can’t move on….. it just hurts me that am i so bad as a friend, that he forgot me so easily……………..

  3. Hurt is inevitable of course. You do feel bad when friends behave with you that way but that doesn’t mean that you need to think you’re a bad friend. You’ve been honest with him and helped him. If he can’t keep it up, it’s his fault, not yours. There could be a lot of things.

    For instance, I had a friend and he started ignoring me suddenly in 11th and 12th. Then he came back and apologized and said that he was trying to be alone so he could focus on studies. Maybe it’s the same with this friend. It’s his issue, doesn’t necessarily mean that you’ve been bad as a friend.

    yeh, i think u r right……., but this keeps getting thrown in my face every time, so i doubt myself…….. chalo koi baat nahi, jaise yeh achha friend ban gaya tha, koi aur bhi ban jaayega

  5. Exactly. If you care for a friend and he doesn’t care for you, you should think that he just wasn’t meant to be. He doesn’t deserve to be your friend.

  6. I could understand your feeling. But you shouldn’t compare friendship with selfishness. I guess you’ve heard A friend in need is a friend in deed. If you think you don’t find your friends in need or sometimes else, then consider them not to be friend. So there is no friendship between you and him or them.

    I am also emotional about friendship. That’s why I could understand how hurt you are.

  7. I agree with Ish….and i understand the hurt of losing a friend..and especially not getting back the response for all the things u do for a friend. Give him time maybe he will come around…cuz as Ish said maybe he was not in a mood to share or talk then. And u should ask him directly….Even being a girl (who r famous for talking n sharing) I sometimes just dont feel talking about some problem or event until I have mulled over it nicely n sorted it out..and sometimes I dont cuz its too hurtful to recall n discuss.

  8. @Reema
    Yeah, but you know, he used to tell me everything, why does he NEED to be asked to, now? chalo koi baat nahi yaar, waise i did talk to him abt this, and he didn’t seem to understand totally. I guess he’s just busy these days…..

  9. @Aminul
    Yeah i guess u r right!

  10. you are being reasonable, and thats what life is, unreasonable.

  11. Maybe he’s just feling awkward or irritated that he has to take ur help everytime he wants to talk to or meet his girl.. this happens. bfs and gfs always come in the way of great friendships

  12. @Anshul
    u r absolutely right, i guess
    welcome to the blog, btw……….

    @Shruti
    yeah, i knw what u mean, but he doesn’t have to do that anymore, thats what i m saying, that he has no use of me now, so he talks less with me now..
    anyway, welcome to the blog, hope u like my posts
