Re: Burdensome friend (talk of mental disorders)

(Anonymous) 2015-01-30 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
I had a friend with Asperger's once and they often used it as an excuse. They'd lash out at people, saying extremely hurtful things, and then saying "Oh I didn't really mean it, just having a moment." Then shortly later, they'd say the same hurtful things. It was pretty much bullying.

I currently have friends with Asperger's who own up to any mistakes they make and accept that, even with their illness, it's not a good thing to do and they apologize for their behavior. They want others to let them know when they're being mean so they can fix the problem. Sometimes they misunderstood what someone was saying and took offense, and they just need clarification.

In your position, I'd just let the friendship die. If someone has an illness or disorder and they're not trying to do anything to help it when they have the ability to do so... nah. You're probably remembering the fun times you had with them, but if they're treating their illness like it's an excuse for bad behavior, leave them alone. You'll just end up stressing yourself out.
