What happened was that a long time ago someone on this site told me they had xbox live as well so I invited them to play with me and my friends. Things were normal for a while, one of my best friends has 2 friends he grew up with that don't like me because of my aspergers. Well I invited this person to join me and my friend Justin. Well since Justin's friends mike and Justin didn't like me I understood Justin not inviting me to the group but not the person on this site. Since mike and Justin didnt like me they had me muted so we couldn't hear each other, so when Justin demanded that he was tired of me and needed a break from me, I expected my supposed friend to call him on The lie he was telling just to be a jerk He didnt and this happened with mike and Justin for 3 straight days until I realized that my supposed friend had just been using me to find other people to hang with and now that he was done had just thrown me away.

Used and thrown away what do I do

The problem is now that we share a lot of friends so I would have to deal with this person if I get back on my xbox. So I've not touched it for a long time to not have to deal with the person that used me and then threw me away. I don't know how to deal with this

Friends that aren't really friends.

I think the only thing you could do is be up front with your other friends. Let them know what he did and why you don't want to play with him. If you end up in a game with him and he starts dissing or trolling you, ignore him for the duration of the game. You now know his true face and how immature he is and you know that's not the kind of person you are. If he persists, you can always private whisper your other friends asking if they would mind joining in a different game or if you are tired if they mind you logging off. If they wish to continue playing in this game or with him then that is their decision, don't let it guide yours.

You aren't going to play with him all the time and their are many other people out there you and your other friends can join up with that is not him.

I have a few friends that tried to ignore how uncomfortable they felt around some of my other friends. It was a conflict of personalities. In the end 1 just started to ignore the other and it caused a rift between my group of friends. I ended up having to inconvenience myself at times to account for both of them because they could not settle it themselves

This situation is not easy to deal with. I honestly wish i could tell you it will fix itself but it most likely wont. Peoples egos, especially in video games, are over bearing.

Whatever you do though, don't be confrontational about it. Remember that its just a game and your out to have fun.

Hope this helps.

Be true to you

Be true to yourself and not worry about this "friend". Talk calmly with your other friends and tell them that you won't be hanging with this person. Let your other friends decide who they want to be around. If they are true friends of yours they will be there for you, and if they are not there they never were true friends. Let them decide if the rumors the other is passing around are true. I feel that to sat the rumors are not true then that gives some truth to them.

HUGS!

I agree.

You must be true to yourself to be happy. In addition, I suggest you remove them from your friends list on xbox live if you haven't already and then forget about them. Then go ahead and play, find other friends and enjoy your life.

having Aspergers is Rough.

I now your pain because I have dealt with Aspergers all my life as well if is real hard o find real friends that accept you for who you are.

I have a XBox live account my self but rarely use it for gaming, I do not have enough friends for it and the games I like for Xbox are not the best for Multilayer most of the time.

What I normally do is get on Steam with my one good friend and we play computer games together along with my little broth and some of my friends old friends.

It usually works out and I am accepted as one of the group with the normal banter and teasing that goes on back and forth.

I may not be LBGT but if you need a kindred spirit to talk too that has gone though some of what you have send my a private message and ill send you my email address if you want. we could chat any way you ant PM, message board, email, or skype.
