My friend thinks he is magic

[Coldstreak18]

Im not kidding I wish it was a joke I really do. I meet Tim last year we are both in the same major at college and we became pretty good friends. over the summer he stayed up at college and i went home to work. He meet this girl and they started hanging out. Apparently she belongs to this huge organization where everyone in it has magical powers. I first i thought he was just kidding but we hung out a few weeks ago and he seemed serious about it but he couldn't tell me anything about. Today I saw his girlfriend before a class and talked to her for a bit and she said that she was in a bad accident and her car should have rolled over like three times but she said because it was a Volvo it didn't. Later I saw Tim and his gf at this show my college put on.

I brought up the accident to Tim and he said that his magic powers kept the car from rolling down this step hill they were on and his gf backed him up. Then its gets weird. apparently Michelle; Tim's gf died and Tim instantly brought her back to life with you guessed it his magic. then something bite her on her arm and she showed it to me it was nothing more then a pimple with a bruise next to it which kinda looked like bite marks. anyway she is convinced some dragon thing bite her.

Tim was worried that I was an elite (someone who is supposed to hunt his "kind" down and kill them.)

I am really worried for him he is almost 20 and he believes this crap and its just getting worse. I'm almost embarrassed to hang out with him anymore. He was always a little weird and i didn't care so was I. but this is just going to far. It if keeps getting worse I think i might have to say something it probably wont help but at least i tried.

This is totally weird! Whoa! I would have loved to be a fly on the wall while your friend and his gf were talking about their magical powers. How did you keep a straight face? LOL!:p

You can try talking to him but it may not go anywhere. I'd definitely express your concerns if I were you because a complete change in character and behavior is a red flag.

I had a normal-ish friend that married a wiccan about eight years ago. He went from a church going Christian to dancing around a fire on summer solstice and getting married through a wiccan ritual a couple of weeks into the relationship. The priest at their church wedding avoided asking if there were any objections to the union as the groom's entire family was prepared to object!

They're still married and I didn't stick around. I didn't have a problem with the fact that he was married to a wiccan. He just became a completely different person and it was creepy.

To each his own. Is he hurting anyone? Why impart our own thoughts as to what's right and normal onto someone else.

If this is a stage that he's going through, then let him. Obviously he lacks self esteem and confidence and uses this "magic" to feel special about himself.

If his "life style" no longer fits your view of the world, then move on. You can let him know that you're not so much a believer in all of this as he is, that you're uncomfortable being around it and you're going to step back. Then leave it at that.

I had a friend like that in highschool. He started out just going to chat rooms on the net, and reading old books. It progressively got worse. I stopped hanging out with him, when he started claiming that he was a potion maker and spell writer for his guild.

To get a little humor out of this situation, everytime this kind of stuff comes up it reminds me of this hillarious episode of operation repo:

Tell him to quit talking about magic or you'll turn him into a whale in the Seherra Dessert. Seriously, his talk about you being an "elite" and supposed to hunt his kind down is a huge red flag. Sometimes people thinking such things will decide to take care of the threat before it takes care of them. This is more serious than someone taking up Wicca because most Wiccans are grounded about what they can and can't do. Does he seem rational when not talking about magic?

Wow, well this guy is really something, to be honest, I'm into the paranormal, I'm a little psychic, I can feel certain energies around me, and stuff like that. The people i hang out with and hung out with, were. . .interesting.
I've only met about 3 intetersting people in my life, well four.
Two of them i met when I used to live in Sacramento, they claimed to be "vampires" sang and psi ones, of course, I was interested by this, adn they told me that all the crap I see on TV about them is just exagerations. That they don't die in teh sun, they just get sun burned really fast, they showed me too, they turn in red in just like 5 mins!!!! And then they told me that sangs, are normal vampires, the ones that just drink blood, they hang out with emos, because they already "Bleed" and they say that the emos let them drink their blood, so yeah, and that psi vampires are sort of psychic vampires, they can drink blood, and or "drink" energy, like psychic energy out of people, adn he demonstrated this to me by making me feel very tired whenever I was around him, he said that psi, can feel what others feel, and make others feel sad, depressed and stuff, so psi vamps are sort of more interesting to me, you can look this up on google REAL VAMPIRES, find out for yourselves. and the 3rd one, is a psychic, she is way more advanced than me in this stuff, so yeah, and the 4th one was my mother, when i was 7, (She passed away when I was 10 from cancer) she told me taht when she was younger she had visions in her dreams, and taht she would dream taht "aliens" would take her and abduct her, so yeah, my advice is that you should just be mroe open minded about this, there are things that exist, things taht you didn't know did.

There are ether beings, or astral ones, I don't know, but maybe they can hurt you, just don't be so close mnded there are always things that are out there that amaze you.

Bludy hell. Listen, just dont hang out with him anymore. Hes gone onto a new path in his life, hes a new person. Cut the tie and find a new best mate on your level.

Whats worrying me slightly is he thought you were potentially the type to 'hunt his kind down and kill them'.... God knows what he may think next, maybe he'd get into a mind set where he thinks he should 'get you first before you get him'... I dont know. Id play very safe with this one and move on.

He sounds like he needs sectioning!

[Tangerine]

I agree with AKAPeewee. There's some pretty cool stuff out there. On the other hand... A girl once tried to kill me because she was convinced I was a vampire and that it's her sole purpose of existence to destroy me. (or at least that's what the police report said)

Anyways, tread lightly. You don't know if this guy is going to snap like my friend did. He may have just found a spirituality he is comfortable with, though, so don't be too harsh with him. Try to show him you're not one of these "elites".

[packagedealx3]

Outside of the fact that he might roll over the next hill, why do you care? He isn't casting spells on people is he? He's a grown-up with the ability to make his own choices about beliefs and how he wishes to live his life. If the magic makes you uncomfortable, stop hanging out with the guy.
