I had known this guy for years and he always had a like reddit 4chan adjacent side to him. Anyway I met someone online who was a little person and I was really into her. I told him and the first thing he did was make a joke about it instead of like congratulating me like a friend should.

Every time we’d talk and I’d bring her up he’d make jokes about her height. It was painful and it hurt. A couple years later we drifted apart and I haven’t talked to him since. I still think about that sore spot when I think back on our friendship.

Things didn’t work out between me and her since I was a drunk mess most of the time. But one thing I never disrespected her or thought less of her for being a little person. My first friend I ever had in life was my neighbor who is a little person, so seeing folks like that as normal people was second nature to me.

I need to bring this up with my therapist. Eventually she said we would dig into the people I was friends with over my life. All my friendships were kind of shitty. Just like love, I’ve never really had a “friend” in my life, just people who were there only when it was convenient for them.

This just popped into my brain and I wanted to vent.
