I have a friend called Zac. We've known each other for a few years, he's a pretty good guy, but he's always been a little annoying- he's the kind of person that would wait for someone to make an error, then pounce on it.
He's also very touchy, and I always try my best to tip-toe around him, per say, so I won't bother him (at times I question why he's my friend anyways). Generally I'm pretty good at this.
I can't even remember how long ago it was- maybe a couple of weeks or so- I bothered him. I'll admit I'm in the wrong here I think: he wanted me to be honest with him about something, I ended up being honest with him, and my honesty offended him. I apologized, told him it was nothing personal, and I was sorry. I am really a person who doesn't like to have people hating them.
I figured my apology was enough, few days passed, he was still mad. I was in and out of hospital and didn't have time to keep apologizing, I haven't been well lately. Since I'm out of hospital now, I figured I'd talk to him.
He told me he was mad at me still. I'm getting a little fed up with this- he's the one that wanted me to be honest! But okay, I said that was alright, but I apologized, what more did he want? I said I had been in/out of hospital and not well lately (as he knew) so I wasn't able to talk.
He said I was just using hospital as an excuse! He knows why and how much I HATE hospital, and how I don't like to excuse myself anyways. I was getting fed up so I said okay, I'll talk to you later, and hung up. I'm at wit's end with this guy! My friendship circle has been crushed this year- my two former best friends both turned into (insert bad word here)s, and another good friend and I aren't on speaking terms right now.
I don't know if it's worth continuing to apologize to Zac, or if I should just give up. I've been there for him so many times, and I'm just sick of this (and getting sick of him).
