I said to an online friend that I would buy a game for myself, them and 2 others but there came a few delays. As it turned out, unrelated to the delays, in the end I couldn't buy it. (Cont.)
So now the friend tells me that they expected that to happen and quiltrips me telling me how I broke my promise. And it's not like that's the first time they did that as the times the delays happened my friend was more than eager to remind me how I had promised to buy it. (More cont.)
I'm kinda grumpy over this so I might not be thinking clearly though, but I don't think it's a huge offense to take back the promise of spending nearly 40€ on a friend.
As someone who has been called a liar and fraud, and *actually* successfully lied and cheated so many times that I willingly chose the nickname "Charlatan" I can tell you, you might want to reconsider what HunterC1998 said.... he has a point.
A real friend would never even think of turning against you for a mere 40€.
I am aware my introduction to this post was hardly trustworthy.

Firstly, the fault obviously lies with how your pal ignores that buying a game for *3* friends outweighs any personal anger. Often, another's insult is not your fault, but their stupidity.
Secondly if you want to spot deceit and shady matters, the best to consult are not the honest people, but those who do the same themselves, like me.
That being said, even I wouldn't betray a trusted friend no matter what...
If you have a proper reason for why you couldn't buy it for 3 people in the end and he's still calling you a liar because you can't buy it for him specifically then he's a fraktard of epic proportions who doesn't deserve it in the first place. I wholeheartedly agree with Hunter and Charlatan here.
I apreciate what you're all saying but he's not a liar that's for sure. He just has this way of placing himself above people as a sort of a mentor and saying how ashamed he is. He acts so dismissively that I sometimes think he's being passive agressive. He's the kind of person who I either wiew as the best person on earth or the worst.
He is smart and experiences so I guess he is above your average Jo in those regards but not in every regard. I'd also argue that while I lack some of his experience I'm smart and have my own ways of doing things.
Everybody lies in some way, either to others or themselves. This sounds like the latter case
Not saying its bad, arrogance can be very much deserved, but there are always flaws left, especially the lack of being humble
If someone is gifted (experienced, smart, etc.) there usually are bad traits to balance it out
In any case, I perfectly understand it can be hard, but try to ignore that insult your friend made
I'm trying to forget but it's hard for me. As I've said many times, I'm not good at this social stuff and I'm just glad he still cares calling me a friend. When we aren't arguing I have a lot of fun with him.
It all boils down that he is your friend not ours, I wouldn't treat any friend of mine like that and wouldn't want a friend like that, but if that isn't his personality and is a good guy past that, I won't try to convince you otherwise.
