I am a bad person for thinking this way?

Question

So, I have a g*y friend and I know that he sleeps around quite a bit and I've talked to him before that it's not really safe to do that and I'm afraid that he's going to get an STI or HIV or something. I just feel like, if he does get HIV, I don't think I will feel bad for him. Well, I mean, I will, but there will also be this feeling of "I told you so" lingering in the background. Does this make me a bad person?

Answer 1

nooo u are a very good person !! you are doing a very good job to ur friend,,  u are a good friend !!

Answer 2

Not necessarily but at the same time thats not something you want to be right about... But its like teen pregnancy, just wear a d**n condom already! pull and pray is NOT the solution.

Answer 3

No your not a bad person for thinking that, you can't control what you feel and think all the time. I have friends that haven't listened when I tried to warn them of a bad situation that was just waiting to pounce on them. And in the end when that bad situation has pounced on them because they did not care to listen, all I could do was be there to support them while they suffered the consequences. Without holding my warnings to them over their heads. You may not be able to get your friend to stop having sexual encounters with random people he does not really know, but you may be able to get him to practice safer s*x. This is what I would stress to him, safer s*x every time with each partner no exceptions and getting screened for HIV every three months.

it just makes you a good friend for worrying.

Answer 5

No you just feel guilt for your friend. This is natural.....this may sound harsh but there is a moment where you can not save your friend and he must learn on his own.
