In this task you are given an anecdote. You must find out whether the anecdote is something the author has done or is considering doing. Label the instances as "HISTORICAL" when the author has already done something and label them as "HYPOTHETICAL" when the author is considering doing something in the future.

[Q]: I want to preface this by saying that this friend has caused me serious anxiety ever since he told me that he had developed feelings for me. I don’t want that with him because although we are internet buddies, he sees me in like a greater light than I do or him. He’s told me I mean so much to him and that not meeting with me would ruin his trip to my country.

I already told him not to tell me that because I feel genuinely bad, but he been guilt tripping me by saying that’s what he means and he’s not going to lie about it. Like if I tell you that saying something like that hurts me, would a normal person continue to repeat it??  I think it’s because I honestly don’t think I want to be friends with him anymore. We don’t even share any common interests. I think he’s fallen prey to the halo effect and only likes me because I am good looking in his eyes since my personality really isn’t all that. I don’t know. I just don’t know what to do anymore.

[Q]: I really like this girl. I've been really close with her and we've been talking almost every evening on the phone for hours. She was talking to a few people like my best friend and a few friends of hers too, but I don't really care about that... why should I?
At some point in time, I noticed that I was always texting first and calling her, so I stopped calling her to find out if she would call me on her own. She didn't call me for two weeks, but she was talking to my best friend a few times on the phone. Strangely, on the day he went on vacation with his family and couldn't talk to her she suddenly called. I was really happy, but also a little confused.
A few weeks later I confronted her about me being the one who always initiates contact and stuff like that and she got really defensive and tried to switch up what I said to make me look like the bad guy. 
This was always just a stupid back and forth and she was just getting annoyed at me, even though I was just asking myself if it was even worth it to try to talk to her. Today I kinda argued with her via texts about me not trying to lose her, because she's really really important to me. She ignores my messages almost every time I text her about how I feel and if I say I just want to know what's up and that I don't want to be ignored she says that she just doesn't see the need to justify herself and answer every little text I send her.
 I was really straight with her after that. I told her that she's really important to me and that I don't want to lose her, but I also feel like she doesn't want to talk to me and that I think it's just me running after her at this point. She's ignoring me again. Am I the asshole?

[Q]: I had been friends with X for about 12 years.  I met her through a family member (Y).  She’s always been a demanding, manipulative sort. Back then I tolerated it because although she was hard work she was still a good friend. About 2-3 years after I met her she got chronically ill.  She used the illness as leverage for getting her own way even more often.  Still, I didn’t mind so much. 
Over the years we made mutual friends, and Y met a lady (Z) and married her.  As things progressed, X would frequently hang out with mutual friends/Y&amp;Z without inviting me.  Fine – sometimes you want to see people alone, but this was happening more and more often. She even started seeing my nephew who was only 15 at the time.  I started to do the same, because X and the others were always busy doing things at weekends, and so I had to meet other people or sit at home alone.  X told me that it upset her and made her cry that I was seeing friends without her, even though she had been doing the same thing to me for much longer. 
I should point out that I am also chronically ill, mentally.  I’ve had depression/OCD from the age of 8, and used to have bad anxiety (which now only comes in waves when my serotonin levels are low).  At first a lot of the mutual friends either didn’t know or thought it was much less serious than it is, but I am very open about it nowadays and most people know.
Me and X grew further and further apart.  Not too long ago we attempted reconciliation. I told her how I felt I was being shut out, and how it reminded me of when I was bullied throughout school.  She told me that she was upset that I didn’t seem to care enough about her illness.  I made it clear that it was painful for me to see her getting close to Y and Z without me.  I had found out later that on previous occasions when they had met up that and suggested inviting me along,  X had said ‘she’s busy on that day’ or ‘she wouldn’t like that’.  Never was I even asked.  I also found out that X had lied about cancelling a night out with me under the pretence of having to work, but she went out with Z instead.  It was only when Z posted on Facebook that I found out.  X said work had been cancelled.  Later, Z told me (inadvertently) there had never been work – X just wanted to go out with Z instead.  I know that X has lied to others about such things because I’ve witnessed it.
Things are going on as before.  X is still meeting up with my friends and family and never asked me, even though she has promised she would least sometimes.  It happened this weekend and it was just too much.  I now don’t want anything to do with her.  I’ll be polite when we cross paths but I have no interest in being a friend any longer. X has managed to convince everyone that she is the ‘victim’ here because she is ill and needs special treatment, and I’m the bad guy for not giving it to her.  Some people even tell me that I’m over-reacting because of my mental issues.  It’s painful and isolating.
