If you see someone who you question your friendship with and wanna test them. Is it normal to see someone walking in a hallway at school and run up to them, stop and walk slower when you're in front of them, just to see if he would talk to you when you want them to, even though he's spoken to you very recently without you first speaking, and you went back and to him later and made the initial talking, just to REALLY 100% make sure?

Is it also fair to look in someone's computer screen to drag them out of class to show them you wanna talk while you're talking to someone else and you're walking out of class with that someone else. That guy you dragged out of class by staring can't do anything to talk to you because you're having a conversation with someone else on a subject he knows nothing about. He ends up leaving and going back to class to work on his stuff. He then gets mad and annoyed when you didn't talk to him and thinks you don't really wanna be friends, when HE CLEARLY JUST SPOKE TO YOU between this incident and the one in the previous class. This guy is doing this crap just to make sure 100% that you'll talk when he wants to, even though he's not saying anything.

Is it fair to even to this? Should the guy who's being, say, "harassed" with the tests continue trying to be friends with him? Should you let his other friends who socializes properly with know what he does? Should you let him know instead personally up-front why he's doing this? This is a situation between 2 males.

Arrête de niaiser!

I would not be your friend and if you must test your friend you need to find another.

Being a friend is about acting like a a friend not une fesse.

Read the book, "How to Make Friends and Influence People". It is good basic advice for someone of your maturity level.

Good luck.

Between the wall of text and the random French, I got lost somewhere along the way, but I think I get the gist of the question asked.

It's not normal at all, but I see where you are coming from too. If you feel the need to test your friends, than there is probably something about them that makes you question them. Instead of testing them, it would be better to address such issues and question directly with them instead of developing "test" for them. Your test may be flawed and may not reveal the whole truth more often than not.

Isn't it annoying when your social life is this confusing? It doesn't have to be. Don't test people and if they test you, act like you don't notice it.

If you (the testee) know that you are being a good friend, then you should ignore the tests and let the tester reach their own conclusions.

The tester is either bored, a drama king, or insecure, but regardless of WHY he is testing you, as long as you know you are being a good friend, if the tester finds you lacking, clearly that's something he has to deal with.

Tell him, "I don't know why you feel the need to "test" me and our friendship, but I believe I am a good, decent friend to you, and I would appreciate you showing a little more trust in our friendship."
