I am so confused right now. I have a problem with one of my classmates and I cannot seem to find a solution for it. This classmate of mine is one of my closest friends. I'll name him "Kyle".
Kyle and I met during the Freshman Orientation. I kind of bumped on him while I was running. Starting from that day, we became friends. He is my classmate in almost all of my subjects and he is also my laboratory partner in Chem16. As time passed by, we became very close because we were always with each other. Last last week, I chatted with him in ym. He asked me who my bestfriend is. I told him that he is my bestfriend. He also told me that I am his bestfriend in the class. The day after that, one of my classmates named "Jela" approached me and opened up her problems to me. We talked the whole day that was why I barely got a chance to talk to Kyle. For the next few days, Jela and I started to be close and started to accompany each other. At the same time, the way Kyle acts suddenly changed. He did not talk to me that much which was very unusual. I asked him if there is something wrong and he told me that there is nothing wrong. That night, I got the chance to talk to him in ym again. He told me that he was jealous of Jela because it seems that Jela was replacing him as my bestfriend. I told him that he is still my bestfriend and he is the one who is going away from me. Days passed again, he still acted differently. I told Jela about my problem with Kyle. Then I learned that I'm not the only one who was getting irritated with him. I found out that almost all of us in the block have problems with his attitude. After some days, my irritation for him vanished. I understood what his problem was. He needed attention. I tried talking to him even if he did not want to talk to me.
As a friend, I want to tell him why some of us are irritated with him sometimes. But that may make things worse and make him more depressed. But if I do not tell him, my other classmates will continue being irritated with him because he will not change. Shall I tell him or not?
