"Friends" who seem to delight in your misfortune
Does anyone have these type of friends? Delight might be too strong a word, but you know when you tell them something somewhat in confidence or just not happy stuff and they bring it up first thing whenever they see you and tell other people under the guise of sympathy.

I usually don't confide in them anymore.

But most of the time these are friends who aren't your close friends to start with, they're in your larger group of friends. Then what do you do?pop_haines wrote:Those "friends" aren't my friends for long.
Plus, I think I described it the wrong way, I didn't necessarily mean betraying confidence, just the general feeling you get that someone is secretly pleased by your misfortune.

Yes, I had a friend like that. She very much enjoyed when I was down and out. I think it made her feel(or seem to) so much better about herself. She is no longer my friend.
I also have relatives like that. Can't get rid of them though. I just avoid them at family get togethers.

Re: "Friends" who seem to delight in your misfortune
Guys are so much different than gals. A guys friends seek revenge for him. In high school my group of buddies had a guy in it who was really screwed over by a girl. We crucified her for it. She still won't come to the reunions.Sausage_Gravy wrote:Yes, I had a friend like that. She very much enjoyed when I was down and out.

That reminds me of a friend of mine that seems to think I'm constantly sitting at home watching porn and doesn't hesitate to tell everyone.
