I have a so called 'friend' (will call him friend but has been more in the past and is around a lot) who I see and talk to regularly right now. If I was an outgoing and confident person who liked to go out and meet people, I probably wouldn't. But given my loneliness and introversion I am in contact with him on the phone or in the flesh almost every night.
He thinks very differently from me. I have always been very left and interested in politics, and mental health issues. He regularly calls me a 'fruit loop' and a 'manipulative *****', (although he can't say how I am manipulative, he just knows it winds me up). I hate when he says this and I make that well known to him. But he keeps doing it. He keeps making stupid jokes about 'SJWs' (and I don't see myself as one) and 'lefty liberal snowflakes' and accuses me of being one, and he knows this annoys me but even after I've made it plain I don't appreciate it, He never stops. He makes racist comments all the time. He also likes winding me up with videos he knows I won't like and says I need to grow up and stop being such a snowflake. Because he says all these things I call him a p***k, and he then accuses me of being as bad as him, so that makes it ok, when I only say these things because he is deliberately trying to annoy me. It's not like I am deliberately spending the whole time doing that to him, I would rather have a deep and meaningful discussion.
Am I just being a snowflake and need to grow up, or is my annoyance justified?
