He's an asshole. He didn't / doesn't listen. He thinks all his opinions are right and that he knows everything he needs to know about the world. He's 29 and clique-ish...he still thinks like a very immature child. He doesn't think things through and is comfortable being ignorant (he essentially admitted this to me). You know what he reminds me of? The movie idiocracy. He's like one of the people in that movie. It's not just that, it's that he really pushed me last week and he pushed me hard. He really invalidated me. The phone conversations became a shouting match. He wouldn't listen to anything and said stupid stuff like using the word "sentimental" meant "Hey, what is this oprah? what are we women?". I've never dealt with anyone like this ever before. I mean EVER before. From what I can tell, his other friends seem to have left him and over the past few months I've been in contact with him more. This was not a normal conversation. It's happened once before with him and I let it go. This is the second time he's behaved this way. I'm seriously thinking of giving this guy up. I can't deal with the arrogance and stupidity.

The worst thing is, after that call, I felt so terrible that I emailed a girl I like. I know it's not his fault I did it, it's my action. She's not my girlfriend, but at the time I could sense that she needed some space but I felt so sick after that conversation I needed to connect with someone normal. I haven't heard back from her, and I don't know how she feels. I don't want her to feel uncomfortable and I don't want to lose that friendship. I didn't whine or complain about this, I just sent an innocuous email, asking how she was.

What bothers me is how he pushed me and then I ended up emailing her almost reflexively. There's nothing I can do now.. but I keep thinking back to that conversation and what it led up to and it makes me really angry.
