writes:Can a friend be acting different or is it just me. I have a friend from childhood. Every time something good is happening in my life he seems to disappear. For example he heard some bad news from a mutual friend that I had lost my job. And as a result from the same day he has been in my face, making sure I have every opportunity to talk to him and tell him. If I still don’t I finally get asked what times I’m working for the week to which I finally said I’m not working as it didn’t work out. To which he is over the moon, very energetic bouncy. - perhaps he is such a good friend he makes me think it’s nothing.Few days later I have some good news...I mention it...no reply. Hello? Did you hear what I said? ..his response very bored showinghe is not interested so I don’t go further in this convo. I find that extremely odd. How I noticed this is, it’s repeating over again and I’m spending my good times alone and not being able to share them. For thebad times there’s no advice, jus what I did wrong usually gets highlighted. It’s not my fault their own life maybe bad, I haven’t done anything to deserve this foul behaviour? So solution to this? Throw away friendship of lifetime? Reply to this Question

 I agree with N91,
It's not like he heard the bad news and wanted to support you, no he wanted to ENJOY your bad situation.
I would definitely NOT call this guy a friend and I would look for new friends. This one isn't worth it.
Some friendships DO last a lifetime, some don't. This one... shouldn't continue. Because really, WHAT are you getting out of being friends with him?

 This doesn’t sound like a friendship to me. Sounds like a person who uses someone’s misfortune to feel better about their own life.
I’d drop this guy like a bad habit, sounds like a complete dick.
