So how this pretty much started was that two of my friends were talking about a video game. One was attacking the other pretty much saying he sucks, who is my best friend. I just said that he was a beginner, and how it really wasn't a big deal that he sucked.
But then, my best friend jumped on me, pretty much repeatively saying how I can't afford the game because I'm poor, and how I need to keep quiet.
And so I said that wasn't funny. Because I'm not in a financially stable family. And how he really didn't need to rub that in because I really wanted the game, and he knows that. All of my life problems pretty much fall on how I'm poor.
My mom makes 7.2k a year in a house of three, including her boyfriend who doesn't work. My dad doesn't really help, but when he does he pretty much talks behind my back about how I'm "Taking all his money". I've never gotten anything of my own since I was in grade school, a majority of my stuff are hand me downs. And usually when I get money for Christmas or my birthday, my mom takes most if not all of it. Most of my best friends know this, but they don't think that this is a big deal. They get mad when I don't go out with them when I don't have the money, and when they force their money on me, they complain about it later, knowing that I didn't want to take it at all.
But then he pretty much gave me the whole, "Your problems aren't important because there are people who have worse problems, like me!"
This conversation pretty much happened in our Skype group. So I just logged off and cried.
I don't really argue with people, but when I do I just put it on myself because I feel like I'm over reacting.

It's not really the fact that he said that, but it seemed like he was intentionally trying to hurt me.
