Resistance set off by something a rather manipulative friend of mine said. He's always making illogical, stupid one-liners and pot shots that make no sense, only purpose seems to be to set you off. Took me a while to realize what he was doing. In the past, I used to try and argue his illogical point to see if we could find a middle ground. Then it dawned on me that he's just being a stupid ****.
Needless to say, I shot a pot shot back at him. Nothing too bad, just a warning shot that I'm not to be ***** with.
Lol, my cousin does this all the time. Throughout my AM 6 journey the way I dealt with it changed. At first I would argue with him too. Then I would simply ignore it and stop talking to him. Now I'm realizing he does that when I'm in a good mood and he's in a bad mood. I don't always engage him on this but I had to test it out last time.
I was in a super good mood and he was making remarks that were just combative and confrontational for no reason. So I asked him "How's your business going?" then he lets out a huge sigh "oh, not good man," then he goes off on some tangent.
So that's probably what it is. My next step is to enforce the fact that if you want my support, don't make combative remarks. That's passive aggressive and not healthy to our relationship.
