Cry me an effing river
Someone I know, ex best friend and ex boyfriend is talking to me about all of the "disasters" he's dealing with in life and how he doesn't know how he's not going "over the edge" maybe it cause he's just "numb" so I said "i hope everyhting ok:
He;s like "Well i was tryin g to sell my pool table and the deal fell through so now I have $10K worth of furniture and a plasma tv and nowhere to put it"
I was like "cry me a river"
and then he's like "And the giants are falling apart and I have big money on the giants"
Is he KIDDING!?!?
or just trying to get under my skin

Re: Cry me an effing river
Some people think they're problems are really bad, not matter how trivial it may seem to you. If you are a good friend, you listen.

I don't 100% agree with that- if a good friend knows that you are going thru a worse time- they shouldn't tell you these things
90% of my friends wont call me and tell me about a fight they just got into with their Mom- b/c they know it would upset beyond them being upset about a stupid fight
I am making sense

Re: Cry me an effing river

I know what you are saying...it's more about perspective then having the actual problem.
I remember the day after my father's funeral, one of my friends called me with "terrible news". She and her BF broke up. Yes, I felt bad, but I just watched my father go in the ground -- not interested right now.

Re: Cry me an effing river
Did this person know about any difficulties that you are dealing with now... if so that is rude  Maybe they were just stupid complaining, not knowing if you were going through a difficult time.. either way

not for nothing but maybe these are real problems for him (not you) why judge?? How about just listening .
The time you took to post this you could have spent listening to your friend..
And to be honest in what I read I think your friend has money issue which to me IS A REAL PROBLEM !

Re: Cry me an effing river
How is having $10K worth of stuff and not being able to have somewhere to put it considered a financial problem?
donate the pool table. end of story.
I think he was seriously just trying to get a rise out of me.
How is that a disaster by ANY stretch
ETA: I would love to have the problem of too much expensive stuff and nowhere to put it...

Re: Cry me an effing river
I'd listen but remind them things could be a hell of a lot worse. And if they don't get it, give them examples.
Being supportive goes both ways. If you're dealing with your own tragedy that they're aware of, they should recognize that their own problems may pale in comparison.
If it turns into a "can you top this" thing, it's probably not worth talking about anymore.

Re: Cry me an effing river
maybe he is trying to impress you- being that he is an ex boyfriend
he sounds insecure- he wants you to know he has a plasma TV and $10K worth of furniture

yeah is always bragging to me about stuff, especially stuff he buys for his girlfriends, like i CARE.
It bothers me because he knows my family is having financial problems and has been goign through a lot, and then he tries to turn this into a huge disaster.

I agree with Beth. It's called sensitivity. Some people have real problems and a true friend knows not to make a mountain out of their molehill.

You make total sense. I agree. But when you are friends with someone, my opinion is you just sit there and listen, and dont b*tch about it. One mans problem may be a joke to someone else.

And a true friend listens to another friend even when they are talking out of their a$$.

that's pretty sucky of him.
i wouldn't go up to an ematiated homeless person and complain to them about having a stomach ache from eating too much.. there's just some things you don't do.
but, maybe he just has other issues and its easier to talk about the more superficial ones, to him.
