- This is the video that upset this guy SO much: • Being Annoying Isn't ...
I may be wrong but I believe that if you continue to spend time with someone who's behavior bothers you then you're enabling that behavior
A relationship with someone who suffers from addiction and untreated mental health issues is a one way street... sadly so many of us have endured this with friends and family. It's tragic to see someone on this downward path...meanwhile you care so much about them and any insights you have is only met with denial. Eventually, reaching your hand out to pull someone back in the boat will only pull you under... people have to decide for themselves if they want to change. All to say what you already know... disconnection is self preservation when someone is living in an illusion of grandeur.
The less people u chill with, the less bullshit you deal with!
Amen. I learned that in my late teens.
HONESTY is the BEST policy, and besides, I believe the truth ALWAYS comes out. Thank you for the good advice.
I hear you bro. I have a friend of 45 years who just showed me his true colors. He’s so full of himself that it is running out of his mouth. He said things that are totally unacceptable. Proved what a fool he is The big problem is that I live in my house on his land I’ll have to sell my house to have the money to move. I thought that I would be here for the rest of my life. So much for that Oh well. That’s life I guess. I learned a hard lesson about trusting people. Never trust anyone but yourself. Some people SUCK
In life and from experience we out grow some of the long term relationships in our lives because we learn to see things differently. We change and grow and they dont.
Dude, there are far too many people that treat their friends and family like they're just characters and extras in the movie of their life. You can tell a lot about a person by how they treat the toilets of others too...
That ain't no Bullshit 🤠
Here for the bandana..but it’s the pencil for me..hair adding a Viking vibe 🤘❤️ so cute the lie to your dad when you were 15 still bothers you 😂 alas the cracked rib from the treehouse tumble didn’t help anything.. at least you got felt up by two cool chicks! Xo
Have a buddy who is an alcoholic. Great guy, bad habit. Dude has been sober now since November. Don't give up! Every now and then someone gets to win!
When I enrolled for treatment for alcohol 47 years ago, one of the points my counselor advice me on, was, I may have to give up some of my old friends to stay healthy. He was right, I it hard to choose friends in such a manor but it was what I had to work on to stay sober. I feel your pain and understand completely, let me just add this; it is not totally your responsibly to care for others and sometimes we just have to learn and let go. I just started tuning into your videos and appreciate the work your doing. Gracias.

It’s a tough thing to deal with…that’s probably why it’s called tough love. I’ve had to deal with it in my past. I had to cut loose a friend of 20+ years and I’d been friend with his older brother all the way back to 1969. We’d had this really great musical connection but he lacked self pride and was rude and disrespectful all the time and was always trying to take advantage of me (monetarily) and I just broke it off. I felt bad about it and felt that I didn’t do enough to help, but in reality I think I did too much. That was about 2-3 years ago and just recently he died of natural abuses but in fact was rooted in smokin’ too much dope and drink too much rot-gut whiskey. When he passed I really beat myself, again believing that I’d never done all I should have, but in the end, I was “good” with what I’d done, etc. Sadly, his older brother passed away back in ‘09 of emphysema…so now I’ve lost two of my childhood buddies, that I really miss.

I'm sorry to hear that, man....
I always say. You always know who is a good friend when it takes no effort to be one another’s friend.
I have a close friend that I have known for years. And there are times we talk to one another a lot and it takes no effort. There’s no games played. Then there are times we get busy in our lives and don’t see each other. But when we do, we take off right where we left off.
You are so right when you say if a friend or family member gets in your head, just write them off. That one took a long time for me to learn because my parents always drilled in our brain that you never stop talking to your sibling no matter what they do to you. I’m 58 and finally wrote a family member off and it was the best thing for me. It relieve all the stress, all the games they played. I felt free.
Always nice hearing your life lessons. 🙏 And be careful. Better safe than sorry.
What a bummer man. Pray it ends clean and clear for ya
Whoa! That is bat shit crazy. He will now move on to another person. They always do. He's a narcissist at a minimum. But likely a full-blown psychopath.
My long-time friend isn't speaking to me. The last time we didn't speak was like for 18 years. I'm not sure if me or him being over sensitive. Well I guess we will both in the nursing home next time we speak. Thanks for the video, I do stuff like this on my YT channel. Enjoy your story
You're carrying concealed in LA?! Wow. Yeah, dump that dude like a bad habit.
Reminds me of cigarette smokers that use Native Americans as their alibi for smoking every half hour. They most likely did it very occasionally for ritual purposes and then left it alone. They were outside most of the time and physically active most of the day.
I’m a smoker and have used the same justification lol
That's everywhere! I owned a duplex, and we heard noise coming from the downstairs unit. My wife, and I went down, unlocked the door, and she screams! I quickly push her aside, and there's a guy laying on the floor, crack pipe in view, porno mag in one hand, and you know what in the other. I told him to get out, and pointed my 38 at him. When he stood up, I held the gun to his head (stupid angry moment) telling him don't come back! The police come, and find the crack pipe asking us is it ours? I'm like, yeah, we smoke crack all day long down here in our empty appt, we also just leave the pipe laying on the floor for you to find! That's what I was thinking, but I obviously said, no, it's the intruder's I called you out for. Anyway, an hour later, I hear more noise outside, and look down to see the same guy trying to get in again through the window which I had secured by now. I call the police again, and he is arrested. Something told me he would come back, and I considered, for a second, leaving the window unsecured so I could shoot him once he came through it for the second time. That's not me though, I can't shoot some poor, homeless addict who has a myriad of problems unbeknownst to me. 👍😎🗽✌
I learned at an early age to not lie as it just complicates things, hence I don't do anything I need to lie about. I've always been one who can look in the mirror, and see what's there, and I'm happy with the man I have become. As we all know, some people just don't mature as they age, and this friend is one of those people, very immature. Had it been me when that pipe came out, I would have stopped the car/truck, and told him to throw it out, or get out! How dare he put my life in jeopardy of going to jail. I may be a bit overreacting here, but that's just unthinkable to me that an adult, supposedly good friend would put me in that position. As a youngster I used to drive around smoking weed, and drinking all the time, I have two DUI's to show for it, but I matured, and don't want to see the inside of a cell ever again! What a donkey's ass! ✌
He was doing the driving when he pulled the bong out and started smoking it - If I had been driving I would have pulled over and smacked him
@@AstroVanTribe Oh, I misunderstood. By all means idiot, smoke your bong while driving. I'm just a passenger who gets to see the show if you get pulled over! 😁 Still, not sure of his ability to drive so I would be a tad ticked off. In the end, this dude is still 17, maybe 16 yo in his thinking, UHG! 👍😎✌🗽
You just ranted for the rest of us who have a friend that is just as crazy and drives us up the wall at the most inopportune times. The difference is most of us suffer our fools. I do not make myself available very often to my weird friend. Rarely do we do things together. We talk on occasions on the phone, but not much getting together. I guess that's why we are still friends.
I think everyone knows of at least one person like the one you were describing. Many times it is a family member making the ability to remain objective difficult and challenging at best.
More and more people are quitting pot. People are realizing that smoking does in fact has negative consequences to a great number of people and situations.
I'm sorry to hear about your friend. I have had to break off relationships too. You have to take care of yourself. Have a great week, Michael. By the way, does this man have a job?
Absolutely.
Ha, Ha! You are steady at the helm! Your tolerance break from this dude is GOOD. You really don't need somebody bringing as you call it, Kooky, Krazy! They will only bring Disorder to your home, Family, and not to mention unnecessary grief! At least You don't spend your life looking over your shoulder, if you can dig it.....
I've had a similar experience with what was a long time, close friend. I had to just remove them from my life 100%. I'm done! This kind of sounds like early stages of mental illness.
Wow what a story, I don’t know your friend but I hope he watches this and it helps him anyway a few years ago I dated this girl and all she did all day and night was hit a weed vape or a bong it drove me nuts yes I took a hit or two a couple times but never really liked it. The second she started getting normal she would smoke more after 2 or 3 months I got rid of her and never looked back she texts me every so often and wants to hang out but I never have .. Stay Safe ..
He is a friggin' narcissist and will NEVER change.
Wake and Bakes are the Worst.
Maybe your ex friend is using something stronger than pot.
You get tired of all the "mental gymnastics". Their distorted view of reality will never change. At some point you have to say enough is enough.
Driving a Pinto should have been your first warning sign.
Block and delete......the elixir to sanity.
The judge might give him an attitude adjustment by sending him to jail. If that’s warranted.
Mike,
I edited the "wall of text."
It was annoying me and we BOTH have limited time to read! LOL
I tried to cut to the point and here it is.
There is a truism I learned from reading fiction, ironically --
sometimes, the pain of keeping a relationship exceeds the reward.
I have a similar situation going on with a family member. This is someone who is so sick, they are truly mental, that they blame everyone else for their situation. You cannot deal with this person. They're going back and reliving things from 30-40 years ago. They remember things DIFFERENTLY from myself and my parents. I don't know if this is mental illness or their therapist is feeding them bullshit. I think it's both.
You have to accept some responsibility for the crap in your life BUT you are NOT responsible for all the bad things that happen to other people, either.
I've dealt with psychologists and psychiatrists -- they are not always good and helpful, and there's a lot of bullshit and frauds in that field. There's a reason why the term "psychobabble" exists. I truly believe that between them and the pharma industry they have created a greater mental crisis and lack of responsibility in North America.
Pharma and the authorities exploit each other to control the populace. As cynical as that sounds, I think the recent pandemic demonstrates this is the reasonable conclusion.
I take medication and I'm aware of and live with side-effects. Things like antidepressants are WORSE than blood pressure medication and things like lipitor. You have to know yourself and be honest. There are things I STAY AWAY from because I know it's bad for me! I could never do weed or abuse alcohol. I'm lucky where alcohol's concerned because I don't like the taste of it. I do think some types of alcohol are useful for cleaning things and treating wounds so I'm not totally against it.
I may have to do a video on psychologists and psychiatrists some time soon....
@AstroVanTribe that would be great
@@AstroVanTribe There are people who trust physicians too much.
Some of these doctors ARE con artists and psychopaths.
I know how crazy this sounds to some people but there are higher-educated persons (MD's, PhD's) who are true psychopaths.
You unfortunately have to do your own research and pay attention and mentally file your experiences. Keep a paper trail, too!
I was in a situation a few years back where I had to get help from and receive paperwork from some doctors I'd visited in the past. At least two-thirds, three-quarters of them DID NOT provide any assisting paperwork. They were NOT legally required to provide documentation after so many years (they're allowed to throw away their patient files after a time and they EVEN LIE about what they have on file because they don't want to deal with former patients) and I was on my own. Of course, I didn't have copies of my dealings with them. That paperwork was NEVER provided OR offered for all I can remember!!!
To say I was furious with these doctors would be an understatement. Fuck those no-good assholes. They're useless pieces of shit. They can go to hell for all I care now. I don't care if they're MDs, PhDs, or whatever. Be decent people and live up to your Hippocratic oath, or *go to hell.* If they fell into a crack in the Earth, I'd probably pour gasoline on them and toss a lit match if I didn't operate a flamethrower on them!!! That's how sore I am at them. There's a point where you have stand up for yourself and STOP turning the other cheek!!!!
One of the last people I dealt with I felt was a con artist. I couldn't say this to anybody because three-quarters of the people around me loved her and thought she was great. Out of all her patients, I think there was only one other person who was skeptical about her but that guy and I kept our mouths shut. I wish I had said something and gotten away from that woman before I wasted eight months of my life around her. I don't think I got anything good from my experience with her. (BTW, I was offered an internship with her but I didn't take it. I was so stressed out after my experience that I didn't want to deal with her anymore.)
She was so good at bullshitting people that I think to this day most people are in denial about her. I concede I could be wrong but my gut is telling me I'm right on this one. I heard her say things around me. I'm not dumb. I know how cynical she was.
My mother had NO IDEA how right she was when she made the remark around me "I don't think Dr. NAME always tells the truth!"
My parents wouldn't listen to me because they were so in love with this person. Sometimes you can't say things because people are trained to believe in "professionals" regardless of their BS. I wish I'd had the guts to NOT endure what I did with that doctor. (Nothing sexual or physically harmfully happened around this person, let me clear. I think she was a pathological liar and told people what they wanted to hear.) I HATED my experiences around her at least half the time. I was constantly stressed out. OTOH, maybe it was a good thing because I learned what I did about white collar professionals and their credentials. There are adults in their 50s, 60s, 70s, and older who STILL don't trust their instincts about BS! They always think their doctors have their best interests and that this isn't about business and getting paid!!!
That's the state of healthcare in the US. It's a joke.
There are still good doctors out there but there are also lots of people who are incompetent and full of shit, too.
As I have traveled through life, I have found many college-educated people lack common sense and think they're smarter than other people because of a piece of foil-stamped paper from an institution. We have tons of people like that in industry and government who were C and D-students that got in because of personal connections, not because they were competent managers or any good at what they supposedly learned in school!
TBH, Mike, I don't think we've had a competent President of the US in decades. I think since 1989, they've been corrupt psychopaths to be frank. The worst of the worst are the smiling jerks the media praises. That's true with business and entertainment, too. The worst cheats and liars are the people the media props up the most.
I'm sorry if I sound cynical but that's what I think, too.
He has a personality disorder, made worse by chronic mj abuse and dependence. Cut him out of your life permanently. There is nothing you can do for him. His development was arrested by the drug use. He is a man-child who needs attention and gets it by being provocative. Forget about him.
Sometimes people just SUCK! Even when it is friends and family. Solitude is good at times, I do love strangers.
Prolonged marijuana use can cause psychosis…now with the concentrated high potency THC products even worse.
i had to break from my best friend after i noticed small tools going missing from my lockup i changed the lock in desperation case someone had a key ,only a few days later HE asked me "have you changed the locks ?"
You’re a solid dude Mike. Subbed.
Respect to you Brother Mike.
Unfortunately people like this rarely change. I have a friend like this too. I can only take them in small doses. And like you said..if you try to talk it out its not their problem. Annoying af.
I feel for you
I also have some friends like this , your doing the right thing
Amazing
For me it was a friend of 47 years. She finally went too far... Bye, Bye Felicia... Hardest thing I've ever done.
peace be with you brother.
Very good Michael....What was the name of the chemical in pot that is sold in stores? and the quote of the day is from a guy in a basement
"winding his watch"..."Hey- give me a couple minutes"....and for gods sake don't shake his hand. FYI
phosphoload
@@AstroVanTribe Thanks!
Don’t screw with people. A very simple life lesson. Being a smart ass is screwing with people. Don’t do it. Eventually someone bigger and badder than you will learn you.
Ive had to end many lifelong friendships. sounds like you had cheech or tommy chong as a friend 🤣🤣
Well you more than likely lie down,,,,,,,,,LOL.
Mike, found you through wonderhussy, of all places because she's a bit of a Libby, but hey that's her thing. Dude 30 years ago I put LA in my rear view mirror, so called friends, divorce, terrible economy, the chronic losers who never grow up, ya, it's a thing, adios mfers, Don't tread on me. NorCal has been great, but Cali as whole, no, I'm done, Next stop South Dakota, home of the Free Man 🇺🇲🦅
Byrna and Umarex have a line of non lethal air guns. They shoot 68 cal hard nylon balls. I have them, gives you option chase them away without permanent harm.
Hey Bro we share friend events. I know your mental twist. My story is less dramatic than yours. But you have the right path. Ignore the crap he pops out. Just take care of yourself and peeps who don't lie. Same as u I hate lying. My ex bestie lied to me a lot. Rock on Z Man.
I hope that weirdo posts all kinds of crazy shit in the comments so we all can see how many loose screws this guy got
He's no good for ya mike cut ties bro
That is funny buddy LMAO 🤣🤣😂
It's really hard, but I try to tell dudes to sit down on my toilet. Why are you spraying your piss everywhere? Ahh, just be true to you and it will be fine.
Sounds exactly like drama.
yep, you can't avoid it completely unless you live in a cave
@@AstroVanTribe it's like a bucket of shit it will eventually stop smelling if don't stir it up.
@@jamiehook1026 yeah, I'm done, just had to put this out there because of him telling highly edited versions of reality to mutual friends and publicly using my name in a defamatory manner - And, as mentioned, he just won't leave me alone
Wow man la is crazy
shucks... lol
Get back on your klunker man you'll feel much better... haters gonna hate.
I'll bet the guy stroking in the basement was on his lunch break from Hooper's. 😂. Seriously, you already know your life will be considerably less stressful without people like the guy this video is about. 👍
Ha, ha, ha....! I wonder if anyone from Hoopers Rear Ends in Sun Valley reads any of this stuff...! (he, he, he...)
😘
Too much drama?😊
🍕🍺
Woman i swear you are going to give me a heart attack some days…happy you survived…but for the LOVE OF GOD, be careful. I was just thinking what happens if you’re way back in that cave and a bear decides to saunter in?
Oops….sorry Mike..i thought i was posting that remark on Wonderhussy’s video i just watched…posted it on yours by mistake..love both of your channels by the way.
