Sorry to hear that, I empathize with you there. The process of friend selection can be a tough one. Sucks he only wanted your research abilities, but that means they must be pretty good!
But yeah that would drive me insane. Feeling ignored or silenced is one of the shittiest things, I wouldn’t keep someone like that around either.
Fuck relying on corporations for anything including information. I’d rather just rely on the people I know.
One of the reasons I’m not really friends with a dude is he’d ask questions, I’d go look up the answers, and then he wouldn’t read them.
Eventually I was like, “if I go look this up are you going to read it? Or ask follow up questions?”
He was like, “is it going to be bite sized?”
I said, “I don’t think I can answer your complicated politics and history question in a way that’s all of fast complete and accurate.”
He admitted no. He wasn’t going to engage further. So I stopped looking stuff up for him, and we don’t talk much anymore.
