Yes. Orbiting is a real thing. Don't exaggerate what I've said though, it's not like I'm drawing crowds here, I'm just dealing with people who are there, plus I was writing about my experiences with a frenemy.
I did mention I'm not a chick magnet, I was just on a roll, as I should've been at that time. I was in my mid 30's. That a man's prime. - They buy toilet paper together, then it's my turn to buy, and I supply the most = This is abusive is it not ?
- I got the blame for using up the limited internet data while he watched 4 movies a day or more = Okay, Not exactly worthy of praise here
- I'm on a roll meeting all these women AFTER getting dumped. Ex comes back, girl next door, the one down the street, down the block, the cat lady, the dog lady, people I met while washing his car my guests were all female.
- Harassing not just me, but the other guy and guests in the washroom. Like dude, You just took a piss and 10 minutes later I hear you pounding away on the bathroom door with the same script.
- Talking behind my back. I actually walked in on him venting about me to the other guy there.
- While he never noticed I was in the corner, I watched him as he was passing by pick up a brand new shirt of mine, walk out the front door and put it in the back seat of his car. Just got it, and never saw the shirt again.
It's not up to me to reach out nor would I like to at this point. That guy by definition of the word is a frenemy. Also, my role is important. It's important for growth. How I handle toxic people doesn't create entanglements. That guy lost to his desires which is mental weakness. You're carrying on as if I should respect the guy.
The issue is not whether every event you described happened or whether your housemate behaved badly. The issue is the framework you use to interpret people.
You consistently turn conflicts into a hierarchy where the other person is weak, jealous, toxic, or inferior, while your role becomes the person who is desired, tested, or important enough to provoke those reactions.
Someone can behave badly without needing to become a “mentally weak” person beneath you. That extra step is where the hierarchy comes in. Describing harm is different from building a worldview where every conflict confirms your superiority.
