This is why I hate Facebook.
When I am sad, I want to post something so that only a few select people know what I'm talking about, but then again, a lot of people do that. Recently, I've learned that my father has quit rehab for the third time and he has begun texting and calling me, pestering me for money. Needless to say, this upsets me.
So, I post on Facebook a vague status update, "Well this explains everything. I saw it coming. Third time is the charm, right, buddy?" meaning to be angry and sarcastic towards my dad.
Back up a bit. I have a "friend" who is my ex. I've had multiple problems with him in the past, but really, if I got into those, it would make this complaint ridiculously long. He was dating a girl on and off, and just a few days ago, she broke up with him (for the second time). Keep in mind this is the second time in like...a month, if even.
So, he replies to my comment saying how I'm obnoxious and how my presence disgusts him and how I need to get over myself. I'm thoroughly confused, until I realize that he must be assuming that I'm talking about him. (Ironic because he told ME to get over myself when he clearly is the one assuming I give a crap enough about his failed relationships to post about them on facebook.) His ex even commented that she was proud of him for sticking up for himself.
Fast-forward to this morning. We go to the same Community College, so I sought him out to try to explain the misunderstanding. What does he do? He completely IGNORES me, like I'm not even there. I even explained what the post was about, and he stays silent.
This infuriated me, but I walked off and decided he wasn't worth my time.
Later in the day, I'm making a little small talk and ask, "What should I get my mom for her birthday?" he calls out from across the room, "A boyfriend!" NOW, if this were any other day, I would know this is was his way of joking with me, but what the hell does it mean now? Is this is way of being a
[removed], or is he trying to be buddy-buddy again without having to exactly apologize?
Keep in mind I have been nothing but supportive of him. I buy him food all the time (he's employed, I haven't started working yet so this is a big deal!) and he claims I haven't. I help him carry his stuff all the time, and I'm always offering to listen to his problems. I have genuinely tried so hard to stay friends with him, but because of one misunderstanding he doesn't even care enough to let me speak! He's acting like a middle school student.
What do I do? I am so used to speaking to people about problems and working them out, but it seems now I can't do anything. I don't want other people to think I'm being purposely mean or vindictive towards someone...it just really hurts my feelings. :'( Should I ignore him? Write him a letter trying to explain myself? Confront him again?
EDIT: Oops, sorry! I was upset and didn't realize I was typing bad words.
