I've accepted it and I'm fine now. Looking back, I'm not sure why I even wanted to be friends with him. Aside from what was talked about in this post, I now realize he's a very judgmental person, as are some of the other people in that group I thought were friends. He made a lot of assumptions about me that weren't true and he couldn't accept me for who I was. Those are the reasons I feel sorry for him. I don't see it as insulting. His friends know this about him as well and they also feel sorry for him and are concerned about him. I know a lot more about the situation and this person than you do. I know what I'm talking about. There's a lot more to this person and what the situation was than the single excuse he gave me. It's not black and white.
