Re: Wow @ all you whiteknights

Wow @ YOU for calling everyone trying to give possible explanations for the OP's friends 'white knights'. Trying to give someone the benefit of the doubt and explain why they MAY have acted the way they did is not white knighting. Not everyone is claiming that they DEFINITELY have SA or other issues. But the OP's friend deserves the benefit of the doubt. EVERYONE does, when we know absolutely nothing about their side of the story. You saying that it's 'white knighting' to try to give reasons to that person implies that you seem to think they they're just a bad friend and don't deserve to be defended at all. They do.

Yes, maybe all the people saying SA or other issues are well off the mark and the OP's friend is just a bad friend. But we don't actually know that and the people telling the OP to drop them like a bad habit are significantly WORSE than the people 'white knighting' for the friend. At least the 'white knights' are trying to give the OP possible explanations and help them keep that friendship. Yes, the best way to do that is for them to talk to their friend and try and understand why they acted the way they did. Yes, the OP has the right to be upset (especially about the money thing), not everyone is saying they don't.

We've been shown no actual hard data to show that the OP's friend is an asshole and/or a bad friend. Assuming that they 100% are is dickish and intolerant of other people. A lot of people are probably jumping to the OP's friend's defense with the idea of SA or some other anxiety because the OP doesn't mention the possibility at ALL. They just say their friend was a shitty guest. Yes they were, but there may be a reason behind that. They DON'T deserve to have everyone dogpile on them and call them a shitty person just because of what the OP told us.

And yes, I'm sure a lot of people see themselves in the OP's friend. It makes their opinions, ideas, and personal experiences no less valid.
