Someone close to you. Options

[manic]

I've gotten to the point where I am afraid to get to know new people or make friends. In the past I've had friends that have stolen from me and used me.

Only a few days ago, my bf and I let a very close friend move in with us for a month until he went back to school on jan. 9. After 1 night of him staying here he got a bad call from his girlfriend and was in the midst of being torn between what to do with her and his newly born daughter. The guy that we let move in started beating my boyfriend up while he was sleeping in our room. He broke two of his fingers and he had to get stitches in his eyebrow. He has bruises all over his body and his head. My bf has known this guy for FIFTEEN years, and I have known him for 2 1/2 and we never thought that he would do something like this. I was there when it happened, but I was in another room . . . after looking at my bf's hand I could tell that his fingers got slammed in the door because I heard a lot of doors slamming. The doctor says that they have to rip his fingernails off, too. If I hadnt of been there to pull him off of my boyfriend he would have killed him . . . and he was making death threats against him.
Despite all of my boyfriend's injuries, my glass table was broken, my carpet couch and bed have blood stains on them, and numerous other things were destroyed . . .

You rarely hear about something terrible like this happening unless it is some body that the victoms have known personally . . I feel like its not worth it to get involved with any body anymore, you never know what they are capable of, is it even worth it?

You need to call the police, get a restraining order, and sue for your damanged property. It sounds like your "friend" is dangerous.

here's one thing; Not Everyone Is Like That. your in shock, and scared to get anybody close to you. i mean i would feel that way too. you really have to be careful, your boyfriend's best friend lost it. it never happened to him before where he got a girl preganant and she doesn't want to be with him, so he did something that he never did.. that's why you never seen him like that. it's his probably his first time like that which is really bad.

it is worth it and at the same time not.. you really have to be careful though, people are people.. its who we are.

It's nothing wrong with being cautious, but don't become so cynical to believe that everyone is like that. However, always keep in mind that anyone and everyone has the potential to f*ck you over.

Maybe you need to regulate and end some lives.
