Aspie guys and flakiness in relationships

Post Reply New Topic

He's not just being avoidant. He got in a row with one of my friends over something stupid that happened at school several weeks ago and since then, he's been doing all sorts of unpleasant things behind her back. He's also angry at my other friend for reasons unbeknownst to me.

I have absolutely no idea of what's going on inside his head right now or what's motivating his strange behavior.

He could be uncomfortable about the whole breaking-up ordeal or he could be genuinely angry at my friends and/or stressed out by other things in his life. Or it may be a combination of those things.

I see..

I'm all about trying to figure out *why* people do some of the crazy things they do, and I'm all about helping people where I can...but sometimes you just have to take a step back, look at *what* people are doing, and make a face-value decision on whether or not it's worth caring about *why* they're doing what they're doing.

If he's being a jerk, he's being a jerk... Maybe it's because he's embarrassed, or maybe it's because he's got other stuff going on in his life, and maybe he could use help -- but life's still too short to be spent with jerks.
