I like making things. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t. I don’t see failure as failure; I see it as progress. Interests include space/rockets, keyboards, and other niche things.

Yes he has deleted Facebook messages he sent me on many occasions. Luckily I take screenshots.

At one time, yes we were friends, and I believed that we had mutual respect. That all changed one random day, and he just lost all respect for me.

As time goes on, I’d rather not think about him at all, but for the rare times that I do, I would want to laugh it off, because his way of bragging is actually kind of funny.

Thanks. I’m not trying to boost my ego here when I say this, but I have a lot more experience with Engineering and CAD modelling than he does. Pretty sure he feels threatened.

He has his formal piece of paper and his formal job, which I suppose outranks my outside-of-school experience, because it’s proper and formal.

I think I can almost remember the exact day that he shifted. We were talking about our previous girlfriends and he very openly bragged that he’s slept with better looking women than I have (I’m not like that). He kept talking about it over and over that day, I could see he was getting a lot of enjoyment out of it.

Before this, he was a different person. Overall good morals, good friend for the most part, rarely put me down.

It was very sudden.

It was also about the time he started to drink really heavily, but that might not be directly related.

I guess I could have, eh. I did end up getting in trouble for it. I had a research job that they fired me from.

You’re right. It’s hard not to take things personally sometimes, but I guess learning to not care so much about what others think is something that can improve with practice.
