He's still trying, but I think that lately, he knows he has lost, so to speak.
His last attempts are pathetic and I can see him back down immediately, or mumbling his words.
So, he said I would: never finish high school, never finish my bachelor, never finish my master, never hold a job, never find a girlfriend, never go anywhere with my guitar playing.
As you know, I proved him wrong for almost all of these.
Yesterday, I was practicing my guitar, rehearsing a song to prepare my next session with my newly found band, and of course he's like:
"It's not good, your voice is trembling a little, call me if they ever let you perform anywhere, who would want to hear that!"
He said all this very timidly, looking at the ground... He's running out of things he can criticize about me and he seems so confused about it.
When there is nothing he can criticize about me, he drops this nuke: "Yeah everything might be going great for you now, but one day, you'll fall off your cloud! You'll lose your job/your girlfriend will leave you/etc."
Tiring. So much hate, so much resentment.
