Whenever he's over here he brings it up. HELP! What should I do to avoid these conversations?

Tell him that you think racism is the product of an inferior mind, and that if he brings it up again you're going to avoid being around him because it makes you uncomfortable. Don't just put up with it- that's similar to saying that it's okay, which you obviously don't believe.\n\nI've got a ton of people in my family who bash homosexuals, and I've told them that it's stupid to make fun of someone for being different and that if they can't keep it to a minimum around me then I'm not going to be around them. It's worked with a few people, and I don't have to hang around the really stupid ones anymore. :)

Spend more time having conversations with him. Don't let anyone use baby talk on him and don't let him watch shows like the teletubbies

Just ignore him and don't react to any of his comments as long as he knows he's getting to you he will continue the minute he knows that you absolutely don't care what he says it will burn him up and he'll stop..Tell the person who relates these messages to you to stop ..and you don't want to hear anything that comes from this person.And honestly what kind of friend is this that tells you hurtfull things..really now..

Ignore him.  He obviously doesnt like himself.  People who dont like themselves are the ones who will say nasty things about others and try to spread rumors.  You cant control what other people say, so ignore him, go out and live your life.  Laughing always helps too.   Laugh at his immature behavior, look at him as a little kid and laugh - you will feel better in being the mature adult.

Stop asking them. Keep the petty questions to yourself. My man hates that I ask him to many questions about petty stuff. I still can't seem to keep my mouth shut tho. Good luck with that. Its not as easy as it sounds.

LOL!! That was a beautiful way to handle that situation!! <bowing humbly>  There is nothing wrong with what you asked him and if he's never talked to you like this before, I would be a little suspicious.  Why is he so defensive?  It was an innocent question, nothing clingy about it.  Something doesn't sit right with this...I could be wrong...but it sounds like he's trying to hide something.

well they already spread around. so it is good if you hold your head up high. as long as you know that it is not true. then you shouldn't even buy in to all of that. if somebody asks you is it true, then tell them no. if they start all these questions like well she/he said that you did this or you did that then just ignore them. just try to lift your head above the clouds. but, not too high as if you are conceited. before you know it you will no longer be in their conversation. there would be no more rumors about you and you will be able to go on. then you will be able to go on in life and not have to worry about them anymore. just be patient it will happen and you will be ok!!!!!!!!!

I would ask him why he wants you to hate him. If he changes the subject again tell him not to because you want to know why. If he doesn't tell you, he probably doesn't like you anymore or something is very wrong. I'm just wondering if he used to live here and moved to london because ou said that you have been friends forever. If he really is your friend then he will tell you whats wrong because you guys tell each other everything. I think that you should ask him one more time and tell him not to change the subject and tell you why he wants you to hate him. I've had this done to me before. He wouldn't tell me either and he always changed the subject when I asked about it. We are still friends because I finally got it out of him. So, all that I can say is to keep on keepin on and if he deosn't tell you then do what you think is best!

well you need to comunicate with him..you show a concern so get up the nerve and ask what you need...

Just realize that he may never get this at all no matter how u explain it as he sounds quite unreasonable.  For one, if he is telling u not to talk to members of the opposite sex then he has to be willing to do the same.  Fair is fair otherwise it becomes a double standard.

You should confront him about it. If he says there's nothing wrong, tell him to stop acting like it.

tell him you do not like what he'd doing. if he doesn't stop, start talking about other guys and swingers, etc.\n\nor you can do the easier part. dump him. he is absolutely self-centered that he's probably not worth moping on
383803
it depends on what he says. keep bugging him about it then if he won't stop then go up to him and say somethng along the same lines. or just ignore him he doesn't need to be talking about you. that means he doen't respect you

Start by ignoring him.  He likely wants the attention.  If that doesn't work, you might wish to lose your identities that he knows and carry on.

well, if he does, just say you're not interested. don't be rude though! treat others the way you would want to be treated, cripple or not! you could just tell him to stop making those weird comments too. good luck.
