My best friend; He's a jerk... What can i do?

Question

Ok... This is a bit long T_T

This happened in an ONLINE GAME. Yes, it sounds nerdy, but thats not the issue. This is an online interactive game, its also a society.

We were on the phone, and playing the game at the same time. And in the game you "kill" other players. I happen to be nicer than he is, and avoid getting killed whereas he tends to make enemies faster than friends.

So hes on the phone with me, and asks me hows it like to be in the popular group (i was just chit-chatting with some of the better gamers). Told him i was never in the popular group; they dont kill me cause i dont bother them. On and on the conversation goes, and he asks "then whats the point of playing this game?!" as i didnt bother killing anyone. So i said "guess i'll leave then". He quickly says "no, I'LL leave" and hangs up the phone.

Yes, an act of jealousy from my point of view... Yeah, im sad... And i definitely feel more disappointment than anger. Towards him i hardly get angry. Hes my best friend afterall. What can i do? To improve the situation? 6 years of friendship isnt going to tumble down over a stupid little misunderstanding... Unfortunately, we've gotten more than a couple of these misunderstandings.

Answer 1

Thats stupid drama. He just got mad. It happens.

Ignore it and move on. Life's too short to be anything but happy.

Answer 2

well, in your second paragraph...you stated the point is TO KILL other players.  so, what are you actually doing?  I dont understand how your friend is a jerk in all that. and that youre beef is over nothing.  you shouldve agreed with him and helped him instead....since you are so NICE.

Answer 3

he'll get over it.

since you're so nice, give him some game money or some rare a*s item as an apology.

the man who apologizes first is the better man... who says that? xD

Answer 4

...Too long.

Answer 5

First of all, I feel sad for you for having a best friend online.  And as for your friend, track down his address, find his parents, chop off their ears and eat them and spit out the bloody mess in front of him. Now he will be sorry for hanging up on you.

Answer 6

Oh god.

I have this problem sometimes.

Guys seem to be much more over-emotional than I am, and go and cry about the smallest things.

honestly I don't really know what you can do, unless you want to walk on eggshells all the time and watch what you say, because I don't think there is a good way to talk to this guy and change the way he processes c**p like this without getting his feelings all wound up.

I'm terrible at giving advice, but I wanted to answer anyway since I read it =/ sorry.

Answer 7

obviously u are worrying to much!  just think that everything will be fine!  just ask him to go on again with u later and while playing be like you know about the last time we played im sorry about the whole situation! hopefully he will say it is ok back and you guys will have fun again and forget about this whole thing!

hope it helps!!
