I got a text from a "friend" from school last night.
I put friend in quotes because this guy was barely a friend.
We were in the same school for two years. The first year I was a total Crack pot, I had that afro type hair and walked around like a zombie, mostly because of the lack of sleep. I was rarely home and it caused many fights with mom too. That year I hit rock bottom, my girl dumped me, I scored a near miss 63% in the finals, I was depressed, suicidal,my teachers who thought highly of me looked at me like I was a useless idiot that's gonna be a bum for the rest of his life. It was torture,I had to walk around campus with my head down, I hated myself.
This friend I mentioned, let's name him Mike. Now Mike was a hardcore bro with me in the first year. But that was the year I hit rock bottom. It was a real eye opener for me. I started not staying out late, doing my studies, basically cleared my head and returned to my old self.
These guys hated that I was changing so much, they made fun about how I was being such a nerd, I didn't give a fuck, I had my future to care about, I HAD to work my ass off, these friends of mine had rich ass parents, they didn't have to even to come school. I stayed up late studying and these guys hated me for it because I was not getting together with them anymore. They did all sorts of shit and was anything but supportive of my life goals. I finally said fuck em cunts and just focused on myself.
Despite being a total zombie loser the first year,and despite year 2 study material being a follow up of year 1, I scored 80% in the finals of year 2. I wasn't happy because I expected so much more but I wasn't depressed and suicidal either.
Fast forward a couple of years, I scored a seat at my college and now am relaxed as I'm doing a degree which for me requires little to no effort to excel. Those so called friends went their seperate ways. We didn't keep contact, I was glad I didn't have to be around them anymore.
So after years of having 0 contact this guy texts me out of the blue last night. Lots of enquiry about how I was doing and stuff and then he finally got to the point, "bro I need some help with something".
Knew it. Well apparently he has this total genius plan of this business. He wants to"help" me by offering this totally awesome offer.
Right bruh, years of no contact and suddenly you got this total awesome deal and you thought about me and how you wanted so much to help me. Such sincere, much honest.
Bitch please. If this were a few years back I'd have jumped on board without a thought. Not now buddy,not today.
He knew I was good with those "computer stuff" when we were in school. He used to make fun of me regularly for being such a stuck up dork that needs to loosen up and hang out with ze Bros more again (they were hardly Bros). Now he wants ME who was good with those "computer stuff" to help HIM with his business.
Obviously I was nice our entire conversation and said I'd see what I can do and get in touch with him. The most baffling thing was he tried to spin it like he was doing ME a favor. He called a few hours ago and said how this is a once in a lifetime opportunity (for him obviously,not me) and how much I am going to miss out if I don't make it(yeah right). He was saying how tight we were and he wanted to share all this goodness and treasures with his best buddy,ie,me.
Haha. He must think I'm naive. Fucking dumbass. I can smell his desperation and he's scrambling HARD.
Tbh, if he'd been just straight up with me and just told me what he wanted from me instead of beating around the Bush and trying to manipulate me into thinking he's doing me a favor , I'd have given him some consideration. I said that I was busy and told him to call me after a few hours,which he surely will. I don't know what to do.
On the one hand there is this opportunity presenting itself to me. On the other hand I KNOW he's being insincere and just trying to use me to further himself. Obviously I'd prefer to just ignore him, but I don't want to stain connections that would serve useful in the future.
What should I do??
