You’re a spoiled brat who doesn’t know the meaning of hard work. You have had everything handed to you on a silver platter your whole life. You have the worst attitude of anyone I have ever known. I once considered you a great friend but you let your personality shine through and killed our friendship. I hope you never find happiness. —Fed up

Sounds like someone I know. This person complains a lot about how hard they have it too, don’t they? Ugh.
I know you dislike them, but to wish them a lifetime of unhappiness is a little harsh…
personally, that’s worse than wishing they were dead.
you’re basically advocating torture for the rest of their life.
real nice.
I have to agree with zZz…Never wish anything bad on someone as it usually will come back to haunt you. This person will learn their lessons as life goes on…people usually do. Everyone has to eventually grow right? Right? right? ok maybe not.
down with schadenfreude
Darling it just makes you bitter to feel this way. Move on, feel happy about yourself and delight in your friend for being wealthy. You’ll get much more out of the person (not only monetarily) if you’re genuinely lovely to them. It’s too easy to wish hard times on someone else. So, sorry I feel no pity for the op.
I agree with zZz on his point — it’s one thing to dump a friend, but wishing them unhappiness is a little shitty on your part. Makes you no better than them.
ah fed up, it sounds like you finally SMARTENED up. time to dump the hangers on to the curb, and don’t even think of looking back. that friend of yours sounds like a poster child for lazy inc., no doubt they wrote the book.
Let your anger and frustration go, or it wil turn into bitterness.
And as for “I hope you never find happiness”, I don’t even wish that on my ex anymore.
Life is too short.
life is a one-ticket but there are many rides hg…squack
If life is a roller coaster, make sure not to sit beside someone who has a weak AND full stomach. 😀
But seriously, I agree with zZz on this one too.
Fuck, I have to wonder if this is about me.
“Delight in your friend being wealthy”. Puleeze!! It’s not as if the op sounds jeleous- it’s legitimate to be dissapointed to discover that someone you had good feelings for initially isn’t deserving. Why should anyone delight in an undelightful jerk who bases their entire identity and self esteem on the fact that they’re rich? If only people like that knew what everyone else thought of them….! How foolish and pathetic they look.
Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.
The price of that silver platter has gone up over the last several years. I hope they still have it.
This is one side of the story. If they’re a jerk and a rich jerk at that, I’m gonna use them for all they’re worth. I think the personal problems/issues the op has with their friend does not have anything to do with money. Why should that factor into anything? Either the op is jealous or the friend is a bitch. A bitch will always be a bitch, rich or poor.
