I was texting my friend (FWB). Our relationship has been pretty complicated from the beginning. I told him I was starting volunteering next week and he said:
"Oh, that's exciting. Good to hear you're doing something with yourself and not wallowing away with all the free time."
Do you think this was meant as an insult. I've been getting the feeling he has been trying to distance himself from me. And I sometimes feel judged by him. I like him a lot, but sometimes feel insecure after interacting with him. Not sure if it's just my own low self esteem (which definitely is a factor) or if he is trying to put me down.
I'm really not sure how to proceed with this friendship. He is probably my favourite person at the moment (tbh, I would like more than friendship), but talking to him leaves me feeling worthless sometimes. Most people tell me I should cut the friendship off, but I can't bring myself to do it.
