My friend and I have been close since high school. We’ve been through thick and thin, but lately, I’ve noticed something off about him.
He has always been a bit immature, but it’s become worse in recent years. He’s 27 now, but his maturity level is still like a child.
Blames the whole world for his plight except himself
It’s clear that he’s been struggling, but he never takes any responsibility. He blames everyone but himself for his downfall. He’s always pointing fingers and making excuses, never willing to take ownership of his mistakes. It’s really starting to take a toll on our friendship.
I’ve tried to talk to him about it, but he never listens. No matter how much I try to get him to see that his behavior is causing problems, he refuses to listen.
He just keeps blaming others and making excuses. He’s even started to put the blame on me, which hurts.
It’s hard to watch my friend go through this, but I’m also starting to realize that there’s nothing I can do to help him. He’s not willing to accept that his behavior is causing problems and that he needs to take ownership of his mistakes.
I just hope that one day he’ll realize that he needs to take responsibility for his actions.
Unfortunately, it’s been a long road and things are only getting worse. He’s become increasingly isolated and withdrawn. He’s stopped going out with friends, and he’s stopped talking to me too. He’s in a really bad place and I’m not sure how much longer he can keep going like this.
Got into trouble with the law eventually
One day, after months of not hearing from him, I received a phone call from his mother. She told me that my friend had done something stupid and got into trouble with the law.
He was now left to face the consequences of his actions.
It was at that moment that I realized how much of an impact his immaturity had had on his life and his future. He had blamed everyone else for his problems and refused to take responsibility for his actions.
It was such a senseless tragedy and I wish that sitting inside will let him wake up to his senses.
