My son of 14, has just been told by a close friend that he no longer wants to be friends with him anymore as he finds him toxic and has asked him to leave him alone. Yet when my son needed some tech advise he phoned his friend who helped. The kind boy gave him the advice he needed with little fuss. When he went to call him again, and I asked him what he was doing he said I am just calling him to get help, when i pointed out that he didn't want to be his friend he said "it's fine mum, he doesn't like me but that doesn't mean he doesn't want to be friends" I have pointed out that his friend has clearly set some boundaries which he isn't respecting (he had to tell him several times, and was very balanced and kind about his choice of words until he could only say it how it was). I then had a light bulb moment which alerted me to the fact that he doesn't respect boundaries for him or anyone. My question is. Is this in a normal range of teenage behaviour or do you think there is an underlying issue with his social or emotional skills and what can I do/read to understand this more? I would almost put him under the gaslighting label as he really does think he does nothing wrong...ever and now I am wondering if the reasons why he has had issues in friendship groups is because of this type of behaviour. He just seems oblivious to what he is doing, i.e always the victim and never to blame. Physically he is fit and he does really well at school. He does tend to be over sensitive also. Help please. :-)
