I feel like it's easier to greentext this:
>be me
>move in with friend/sorta friend i've known since middle school
>learn quickly he has a very, very short temper
>i have anxiety
>takes me a while to find a job
>he loses his right when i find mine
>end up having to pay the full rent
>4 months before he gets a new job (working at the same place as me)
>was getting money from a short temp job
>both of us quit 'cause we hate the current place
>dumbass.jpg
>enough money for next month of rent
>not the one after that
>busting my ass looking for work
>he's got maybe a small handful of applications in
>anything that has fucking doors i've applied to it
>end up finally making plans with a close bud out of state to move in
>gonna pay what i can to last month's rent before i leave
>(i'm not on the lease btw)
>talked to him about it and said he understood i'd get him what i could from a weekend job that i picked up
>he ends up getting a job but it won't get him his first check until 6 days after rent is due
>he's now on facebook asking friends and family for money
>amount he asks them for is lower than what he needs; it's his exact side of the rent
>and he knows how much i said i could get him
>don't want an altercation with how much i can give him
>plus it's going to be less since the person getting my ticket set up (my brother) ended up magically fucking losing $50 so i had to front it
>considering just leaving the money that i can give him with a note or some other pussy ass move before i have to leave state so i won't have to talk to him
what do; do i just say fuck it and stop worrying about it and give him what i can? my anxiety says i don't want to leave him screwed over, but another part of me realizes that he would have been fucked had i not moved in at all, and i'm not trying to take care of my own life. we did kinda pep each other up for leaving our job, but i don't think he can hang it over my head because he could have been rational and decided to stay

i'm now trying to take care of my own life*
>have no job but commit to renting a place
>later quit job because you hate it, despite the fact that you need to be able to pay rent
I didn't even read any further, I can't believe something this stupid.

i was a dumb shit thinking that we could ride on the money we had until we found another job, when i should have just found another before i decided to bounce, but whatever it happened and he's as much of a fucking idiot as i am
it wasn't like committing to renting a place, either, though; at the time i had no place to go and he volunteered his place. the job that he had would cover his rent whether i was there or not, so he was giving me leeway with finding a job. i think a couple days after i started my job he got fired, and so i pressed my manager's to get him hired on where i worked

Lol you both sound retarded. If you can live with being a pussy then just drop the note in a sneaky way.
But if you were clear about what you could give him, then why worry? If he expects more, you don't have it. You seem kind of scared of this guy. Maybe bring a friend.

Scared of an altercation at least, and the anxiety doesn't help. I've talked to a friend who somewhat tried to calm me down about the situation, saying pretty much the same thing you just said. I can give him the money in person, and I'm trying to keep my head on straight by knowing that I only share half of the blame and it isn't inherently my responsibility to take care of him.
