Essay:
I underwent a major fight with a former friend of mine that indefinitely ended our friendship. And I am glad it happened.
His name was Henry. About a year ago, I met Henry through the Korean club in high school. I was a senior then, while he was a junior. When I first got to know him, I immediately thought that we would be best buddies all the way through my graduation and into college. At the time, he seemed like a cool person who liked to do the same activities that I liked to do, such as playing pool or going to the movies. Above all, he initially showed kindness and compassion to me.
As the months went by, we would hang out together and go do these activities as well as go eat and talk about menial things. We began to be so close to each other that we thought of each other as brothers. We would go eat and have deep discussions about was on our minds and such, as well as reveal our closely guarded secrets such as the girls we liked or the brotherly-sisterly problems we were having back at home. Things in our friendship could not have been much better.
But Henry was beginning to be too comfortable with his friendship with me. As spring turned into summer and we began to have more time to hang out with each other, Henry began to act differently towards me. He would begin to casually berate me about my faults and failures, things most sensitive to me that only I would reveal to people I trust such as him. Eventually these insults would begin to be about my shortcomings and about how supposedly trivial my goals in life were. He would boast of his own successes and put me down. But what surprised me the most was that I would do nothing to defend myself- I would passively agree and laugh with him and poke fun at myself.
It was incredulous that I was so helpless, especially because of the fact that I was taking the hurt comments and internalizing them, and not do absolutely anything about it. I felt that I had to do whatever in order to protect that sense of brotherhood, that sense of close friendship. I did not want to hurt his feelings either for fear that I would damage the so-called friendship. I was not looking out for my own needs but for the needs of Henry, and that was tearing me apart piece by piece.
Incredibly, I allowed for this verbal abuse to continue on well throughout the rest of the summer and into the beginning of my first quarter of college. That desperation for wanting to preserve the friendship had taken a hold of me and I could not let go.
Eventually, in the beginning of college, I began to approach my breaking point. I could not mentally and emotionally handle Henry
