Stigma

Stig.ma (noun) a mark or token of infamy, disgrace, or reproach

There are many losers in this world; of which, there is one whom I am bursting to rebuke and eat out. I may be quick to judge based on the slight knowledge that I have access to, but I cannot hold it in anymore.

Tell me, what kind of person pulls someone down with him when he's in a deep rut? In metaphoric terms, this guy digs a deep trench, falls in and realises he's going to die (or maybe not because he could be thick or in denial)then calls his friend to join him down there. Hello, you dig your own grave then still want to ask people to die with you??! Loser.

Arghh.... it's so infuriating!! Although I'm not the one being dragged down, it's happening to a good friend of mine and I really don't wish for her to fall back into the dark hole she's been struggling to keep away from.

Dear Friend,
I know you find it hard to turn him away because you treat him as your buddy. But I think of it this way: if he really considered you as one, he would respect your decision when you say 'No' to him.

Friends care for each other's well-being and don't push each other to do things that the other party is not willing to. Ultimately, the choice is yours alone. If you truly want to move away from this stigma, be strong and resolute. Don't let the people, who only claim to be your friends but yet make excuses upon excuses to get you influenced, sway you from what you really want.

Of course, if it is your choice (and yours alone, not because you feel obliged to) to join this friend in his 'hobby', I will, as your friend, respect your decision and not harp on this subject anymore.

It's your life. Don't let someone else make you throw it away ok? =)
