Search Results: does he only think of me as a friend

I am in my mid twenties and truly am alone. The only people I talk to are coworkers (not friendly), my dad and I have 3 “online friends”. One I’ve known for a few years, the other two I met while gaming. The one that’s better at games and I get along with more has really been rubbing me the wrong way lately. He’s very conceited, I used to just think he was macho and showed cocky traits here and there but it’s really been irking me. He talks about how women hit on him and seem to throw themselves at him, his successes and he beats his chest when he does something in the game (pretty much implying he does most of the work). And while that’s the case most of the time, I do try to contribute and if he really has an issue he can just say something or stop playing with me.

I enjoy talking with my gamer friends but atm the one that thinks he’s better than everyone else is making me consider unfriending him, the other one is just young and dumb. I’ve had actually in person friends in the past but stopped talking to them, one that also irritated me due to being conceited tried adding me on SC recently but I denied her request.

My mom has always said that I’m not perfect either and I should try to be a bit more understanding and not have such high expectations of people. The way I see it, I’d rather be alone versus be around people that don’t have my best interest. I’m trying to not be as hasty but everyone is just rubbing me the wrong way.
