I think it's a self esteem issue that keeps people hanging out with people who hurt them.

I find that as a kid or teen, we seem "stuck" with the friends that surround us but as adults, we learn to weed out the bad ones and end up only having a handful or true friends. You're right, that jerk is just projecting his own misery and doesn't need someone like you in his/her life. Cheers! Shaharohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06908881744823537543noreply@blogger.com
