My best friend would just hang out and watch me play video games, and turn down playing himself when I would offer because I felt bad. He said he liked watching me because I was so much better than him and it was the only way he'd see parts of the games I liked playing.
Sucks that he lives in another state. And is also married with children. Probably wouldn't hang out much even if we lived closer.
Oh he must have moved to Alabama
Noughty. Get out 🤣
That would be married to his children lol
it sounds like he was the bestest of friends 🥹
I have a friend like this who lived close and we didn’t hang out much, but that’s being a grown up. He recently moved, but the rare times we do get together are awesome.
