I'm pretty chipper. I just don't like being used by someone who says they are my friend. He's incredible selfish, biased and entitled. A lot of it comes from his family upbringing as he was absolutely spoiled as a child never told no. Went to college thinking he'd skate by. He barely did the work and ended with a c avg. My other buddy he went to college with and roomed with had countless friends made while in college. This guy didn't have much, only went to PSU because my other buddy and his closes friend went there and then would throw a tantrum when my other buddy hung out with his college friends. When he asked him one day why he didn't make any friends in college his excuse was "What's the point of making friends with people you might never see again?" The ironic thing is my other buddies 2 best friends now are college buddies and my closes friends now from college as well. One lives in California too. My other buddy use to complain how difficult it was living with him and he really wanted too move in with two buddies from college for his last year of school because it was so bad. Our buddy is an absolute slob. We are friends with one another simple do to living in the same neighborhood, same bus to school and being 2 yrs age difference. The other friend I knew through his cousin who Im great friends with since Pre School when I lived in my old area. He had a close relationship with his mother who unexpectedly past away right after college grad. One day my friend was doing choirs and my other buddy wanted to do something and he told him he had to clean. This was 6 months after she past and my buddy tells him "His family cleans too much" they got in a big fight an my friend cut him off cold turkey. My other buddy still thinks he does nothing wrong despite me literally drawing up a picture and diagram (When I mean literally I wrote it all down and mapped everything with years and dates) and he thought I was being ridiculous.OP is certainly a miserable person.
He ended up switching programs in college to sports management but he does not have the personality for it. Really lazy and doesn't network. He had a job working for Independent Baseball team Camden Riversharks as an intern and his boss was interested in staying in touch. My buddy never did thinking he could just get a job on his own. Never happened. Complains constantly how he has a college degree in sportsmanagement and works retail. When he found out I knew someone in the NFL he wanted me to talked to them about hiring him. When he found out my Coworker's son was an assistant Coach for the Eagles he tried pulling the same thing. I probably would've had he been more willing to network and other things. I have a buddy on an old baseball board who network and got a job working in Clearwater for the Phillies. Last I heard he's working for the Reading affiliate of the Phillies. I have a Cousin who went to Pitt and then went to grad School at USF. The program leader was a former NBA exec so has contacts all around the 4 major sports here. It's a new program not even 10 yrs old but highly successful. My Cousin interned for the TB Lightening the year before their cup run and his program was featured at Intermission of a TB game during that year. He now works as a sales analytics for the Miami Heat. I've mentioned stuff to help him before. Suggested maybe he should stop working and attend grad school like my cousin. However the dude doesn't want to leave the nest of his parents house, have to live on his own say in another city etc. A lot of his issues is his own doing.
I don't like the fact I found out he used me as a reference simple because he thinks it'll get him the job easier. Especially considering I've tried to help him in the past and he's just sh** in my hand. When he was looking for work I had a former Co Worker who told me her job at Best Buy was hiring. They were getting bonus pay for the holiday and I figured at least it's something. I also was willing to get him a job at my store even working my department or another I knew needed help. He looked at my job as beneath him and then used the pandemic as an excuse not to work. This is despite the fact he went all the way up to NYC a month earlier with a buddy in one of the biggest Covid infected areas of the country. Now that it's a job he wants he wants me to help him? Sorry if he had taken my help better or was a lot nicer refusing my suggestions I'd probably be more then willing to help him
