How do you feel when an old friend tells you all their miseries after not being in touch for awhile?

He was looking for his ex, not mine. She wouldn't respond to him on Facebook and has ignored calls for the past month. He asked me to tell her to call him if I heard from her. She's on my Facebook too, but we don't talk regularly.

What would you want him to do if the situation were reversed? Often when you reach out to others, it enriches them and you!

He's had issues for years. Back in 2006-2007, he thought the administration of UT-Knoxville were some part of New World Order/Alex Jones style conspiracy in getting him banned from the college, and that his name was ruined anywhere in the state.

He was in some questionable dealings at a fraternity that probably did it. No legal charges ever came of it, but he stayed away. The dean of the college this went down in died a year or so ago and that's how he got in.
