Thanks Hooligan. Some answers to your questions about the email ordeal. I only briefly met him about two weeks before I graduated college. This person was my neighbor in my apartment complex. I happened to be returning from class one day when I noticed this fellow standing outside his door looking VERY sad. So I offered him a piece of chocolate. Then he knocks on my door a couple days later with some donuts as a thank you. I thought that was kind of him, so I let him in for some tea. Somehow it turns into a therapy session for him. Later he leaves and thanks me. But after graduation, we move back to our hometowns. So he asked for my email to stay in touch. He kept emailing me LONG ESSAYS of how horrible his days were or things he wanted advice on. He told me how he is socially awkward. How he has almost no friends. And that he was SO HAPPY I would be his friend. Then the whole business where I told him I'm not interested in being in a relationship came up and I think he was very hurt. So he stopped talking for a bit. Then comes back saying he has a lot of stuff to focus on and he can't speak to me for three months.
So long story short, this angry email I'm getting is because I stopped all contact with him after he wanted to stop contacting me. I tried to help him. And it felt like a slap in the face for him to imply that I am only needed around if I am a potential romantic partner.
