What do you usually do in a situation like this?

I have this friend that everything is an issue. I have a private Twitter and Instagram account just because I don't want everyone to see what I post on social media, but he made it a big deal. He was angry and told me that the real reason why my accounts are private is that it is my hobby to hide a secret. Then earlier, he was sorry for what he did last night. He was mad again last night because of my Twitter post again that is not even about him, I accepted his apology. Now, he is mad again because I told him we should still invite our friends even though there are high chances that they will reject our invitation. I am talking to him calmly but he is always mad even about little things. What do you usually do if you are in a situation like this?

I do not know the reason why he acts like that, but I have almost the feeling he is jealous and insecure. He does not want to be the first to do things, she tries to push you to do, but he then criticize.

@mnglsp This is not an acceptable situation.

@LadyDuck That is true. This is the reason why I feel so mad. I don't even know his problem with me. Every time I say something, even if it is not offending or a bad thing he is always mad. I am starting to believe that getting mad is his hobby.

Me too. I don't know what is his problem that he is always angry at me. Whenever I try to communicate he doesn't cooperate.

I think you should know why he is like that. I can sense a lot of insecurity from his side. I think that it is your prerogative to make your account private or not. I think there is a reason behind this behavior but it's only you can know it. Is this guy only a friend or something? Maybe he is thinking of being more than friends since he wants to know everything about you.

I asked him a lot of times why is he like that and he is always "Ayoko nalang muna makipag usap, bahala ka" It makes me so mad that I know I didn't do anything wrong but he keeps on making me feel that everything I do is wrong. He's always mad and that is making me want to cut ties with him. He is courting me actually.

@mnglsp Now I seem to understand why. Courting you might have given him an impression that he owns you now and your privacy is his alone. I think that is a very bad sign of insecurity that engages in various emotional tactics to evoke something from you. I would say that getting into a relationship with this guy is a bit risky and dangerous because he may go beyond those flare-ups and become physical when the two of you become an item already. So, I think you should be careful with such people.

@rsa101 I really am afraid that he'll be like that once we become a couple or something. Before, I really thought that the problem is in me. I always choose to understand him and accept his apology but he will get mad again because of little things. And I can see now that it is not me who has a problem, he is. I know I am not perfect when it comes to things like these. I am not a very kind person, but I am not like this. I am the one who he is courting, why do I feel like I owe him something or what.

Is this just a friend or more than a friend ? He sounds so unconfident. If he's not someone that important to me I'd cut him off I don't need unnecessary arguing every now and then.

@Babino You're right. I don't want to be friends with a toxic person anymore. All he did to me is to give me anxiety.

@mnglsp well it's time to decide if this friendship is worth all of the trouble or if it's time to cut this off !!
