[quote=Anonymous]I think your whole post reeks of self-serving statements and has nothing to do with your friend. You're basically saying you're better than him.

You talk about his "small town" ways - "small town" mind - "small town" actions - and his audacity to think highly of himself.

His view of his importance in life - whether he is of value, providing value and is productive is his own. You're essentially asking how can he like himself so much when his life is so shitty? Really? Simply because he chose not to move and work for a local University? I mean, not a bum...but actively engaged in his world, his life, his job. And he, as a friend, tries to maintain common ground with the "city folk" and talk to you about what is going on in his life - however small and uninteresting that it is to you apparently. So he gets excited at a baseball game of his team? Were you here for the ALLCAPS or nah?

He should think highly of himself - as should we all. We should all know that it's not your wallet, or your condo, or your geography that determines how valuable you are. You are a JERK.

You're resentful that he had the nerve to cancel a trip because in your mind - you're the best thing he has going - how dare he push you aside. No matter that most of your "bookings" were probably 100% REFUNDABLE - I mean we're talking Labor Day and so you can't be at a significant loss.

Thing is - why are you so upset when CLEARLY you don't like him.

So yeah - the nature of relationships do change. Perhaps the dynamics and the way and how often you interact with people in your life. But that doesn't mean that despising your supposed best friend for infractions that are simply about who he fundamentally is as a person is one of those "that's how it goes". You've not outgrown him - you've simply turned into asshole who thinks that traveling and a city job means you're better than those who choose to stay in one location. Yes - please dump your "friend" so he can have people in his life that aren't secretly dismissing his entire existence as fluff.[/quote]
