So there's this dude named M. I've known him since 2nd grade and we were friends in elementary school. We were decently close and long story short he ended up crushing on me, things got awkward, and we stopped being friends the final week of 5th grade. I was homeschooled throughout middle school so I didn't really see him again until this year.
At the beginning of this year we tried reconnecting and he seemed nice. We had some mutual friends and we were getting along okay.
Until he started acting weird
He would brag to me about having a lack of empathy, would tell me (without asking if I was okay with hearing about it) detailed descriptions of his suicidal thoughts and mental hospital visits, would say stuff like "Yeah I haven't liked anybody since 5th grade bc of what you did haha" in an attempt to guilt trip me and it was just
Weird
I put up with it, but he increasingly got weirder.
He got my number from a mutual friend and started messaging me. Things were going alright at first and we would send each other memes
Then he started asking me personal shit.
One day he messaged me and asked me if I had a crush on anybody. At this point it was pretty clear that he had some feelings for me since he would try and get our friends to get us together alone and he would make some weird romantic "gestures"
I told him no and asked him not to ask me questions like that anymore because it makes me uncomfortable
He said fine and after that I distanced myself a little bit at a time.
It was around this time that I began to realize how terrible of a person he truly is.
He talked shit about and bullied a kid for his parents being evicted and whenever I was kinda like "ayo that's not cool" he blamed it on his "lack of empathy" and started bragging about not giving a shit until he realized that I was freaked out and quit.
My friend accidentally spilled a drop of milk on his backpack one day and he almost went to take a fucking swing at her. During 5th period (the period after lunch) according to my other friend he had a rage induced breakdown over it and was sent to the office
Until that point I had tried to feel sympathy for him but at that moment I realized that I absolutely hated him and did not feel an ounce if sympathy for him anymore. I've been suicidal off and on in my life, struggled with my own insecurities, and have had to watch my mom die in front of me due to Huntington's disease but I've NEVER treated anybody anywhere near as horribly as he treats other people.
Even though Im done with him, he scares the shit out of me and he knows it, so I can't completely drop him. Instead, I decided to take days to respond to his messages and to make it at least somewhat clear that I want nothing to do with him.
But, of course, he noticed and retaliated.
Everybody eats lunch in the courtyard. In the courtyard there's a stair case that leads to our school building. It's very pretty and it's open so if you're at the top you can look down and see everybody in the courtyard.
But, this mother fucker ruined it for me.
Every day he's started sitting on top of the stairs and staring at me. He'll make it known that he is too. He'll watch my every move.
He's started watching me and waiting until I turn on my phone to message me so I'll almost have no other choice but to respond.
This mother fucker is so obsessed and possessive that he has began to manipulate me into "voluntarily" responding to him as quickly as possible
I don't want to know what he'll do if I don't but the next time he does it I'm gonna test it because I am not going to let anybody manipulate me like this, hell fucking no.
I hate him. My parents are insanely strict and protective (the reason why I was homeschooled throughout middle school) and would homeschool me again in a heartbeat if they knew about what's going on which is WAY worse than dealing with him. I've been sexually assaulted at school before but I refuse to tell any authority figure because they'll have to tell my parents and it won't end well. I realize that this just enables people to abuse me more but at this point I don't care, I'm not getting homeschooled again. I can't tell anybody but my friends about him.
I am glad that I have my friends though. M has essentially no friends left because the friends that he does have aren't actually his friends and fucking hate him too. The only reason they haven't dropped him is because he would probably "attempt" to kill himself if they did.
What's creepy to me is that it's genuinely possible that he's been obsessed since 5th grade when we stopped being friends. He hasn't liked anybody since then, he's acting extremely possessive and doesn't like me around other guys, and he immediately tried to seek me out once he saw me on the first day of school. Kinda scary that he was potentially obsessed with somebody he only ever knew as an 11 year old until this year.
Fortunately, I'm not in any immediate danger since I don't see him outside of school and refuse to ever do that lmao. He tried joining drama club to get closer to me but I convinced him not too, and his grades are too shitty to get in anyway.
So yeah, there's the rant. Sorry if it's all over the place and long, I wrote this last night at 1 A.M lmao 💀
