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.
One example: So I have a good friend that I enjoy hanging out with, but they aren’t good at turning people down so whenever I invited her somewhere and she doesn’t want to go she says yes and then either constantly reschedules, claims she will get back to me with a time that works for her, or cancels at the last minute with some lame excuse. So would I be an asshole if I confronted her and told her to cut the crap and just be straight with me so that I don’t waste the time and energy trying to make things work if she doesn’t want to go? Also do I have any right to be upset since even though my gut tells me she is just being flaky, she is also a very busy person so there is a chance that I’m just overly sensitive.
Solution is here: HYPOTHETICAL
Explanation: the author is talking about something he wants to do.

Now, solve this: so. I had a rough childhood. social isolation. semi neglectful parents. intense bullying etc. this doesn't matter much now. but it provides some context. 

so just over two years ago things had started going good for me. 

I finally had started treatment for my depression. I started a job that had decent enough pay and hours that I could live well. 

and I had even started to get into dating for the first time in my life at 24. 

I had been living in a nice house with a few good friends. (jake, Phil and a couple others) 

then a once close friend and longtime roommate jake. started spreading lies and using me as a scapegoat for his being a slob. 

all because jake didn't want his new girlfriend to find out he was a pig. 

now. I tried to be diplomatic. I didn't want to point fingers. and I tried to take responsibility. I know that my depression tends to make it hard to keep up with household chores. 

that wasn't good enough. I was made out to be responsible for the mess of three people. jake, his girlfriend, and myself.

and I was given an ultimatum. 

move out or we (jake, Phil and other mutual friends) will all hate you. (this is where my issues with ostracism and social isolation come into play) 

so I tried to appease them. I agreed to leave. but I had just started my new job. money was tight. 

then I got Into a car accident. I was fine. my car was totaled. and insurance takes a while. 

I was spending $50 a day just to get to work and back. because public transit didn't reach my new workplace. 

eventually the stress of it got to me. I couldn't sleep more than two hours a night. 

I lost my job. I had to move back in with my parents to my hometown. my own personal hell. 


I had to spend a miserable, lonely year of my life there. 

took me working 14 hour days for nearly three months straight just to get the money to move out again. there was no other work there. 

then it took me breaking down in tears for my parents to actually help move. there are no moving companies in the town either. 

since then I've been putting back my life piece by piece. it's been rough. 

and I REFUSE to associate with jake. the scumbag who's lies did that to me. 

but according to Phil.

my being unwilling to forgive him is "selfish" and "ignorant" and I just need to let it go. 

they, along with a few other friends have directly told me "they wish things could go back to the "good ol days" 

and I have made it clear. that even though that would be nice. it's not going to happen. 

Am I the asshole? 

TL:DR a one time friend majorly screwed me over. other mutual friends say that I'm being selfish for not forgiving him.
Solution:
HISTORICAL
