True, but it’s all part of the same picture.
Anon’s friend assumed this girl would say yes, because he’s obviously the best guy in his whole universe, so he took major offense when she said no (cause she can see what he’s actually like).
Introspection would’ve made it a bit more obvious why she rejected him off the bat, even without the other guy getting involved… but narcissists rarely introspect.
Had to have the “Hey man, she’s not interested and she’s trying to spare your feelings” conversation with a dude in my social circle a couple weeks ago. He’s like 30 too so should know better by now. Some people just cannot look at things from any perspective other than their own.
All true but the dysfunction starts here with making someone an enemy simply because they turned down your romantic advance.
