Foxhall Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 two reasons I can think off, he enjoys the company of a particular person or people even though they treat him badly- and is prepared to tolerate their indifference for the sake of the enjoyment of their company on occasion, perhaps because of his childhood experiences he is reluctant to rock the boat because any time in the past when he got angry it always backfired and he ended up as the loser in the battle so to speak, linked somewhat to guilt and self esteem issues, I can relate to some of this although not wanting to share too much of my experiences! I dont know, perhaps keep encouraging him to seek new outlets meeting new people and eventually he will find his own strength and his own direction I imagine. Link to post Share on other sites
LivingWaterPlease Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 From what you've written this guy seems fine to me. The upside to his personality is that he attracts persons of integrity as friends and the losers aren't interested in being friends with him! He has a good friend in you GaPeach! And the great part about being a friend of his is that when you make a mistake (as we all do at some point) in the friendship, he is gracious and merciful and will easily forgive! This guy sounds as if he's someone I'd like to have in my own friend circle!🙂 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I do think it could be connected to how he was treated growing up. Link to post Share on other sites
