I'm a big believer in second chances. People make mistakes and sometimes wake up the next day and would give anything to take them back. Your 'friend' seemed to have had that epiphany when he came back into your life in an attempt to make amends. He then strung you out and ghosted you.
I'll literally send you a check for $80 myself rather than for you to keep someone like this in your life. Friendships aren't supposed to be that difficult, and there's every indication that this guy is unhealthy for you and doesn't 'get it.' Is it possible that you'd just be known as 'kirk' on CP if he were never in your life? |

Still... Lots of good advice. I have a tendency to let my emotions get the better of me; I feel justified, then I feel guilty all the while knowing that the truth is somewhere... |

Why was he stealing from you? Just a thief or drug addict or degenerative gambler?
Has he come forward with a check? IF and it's a big IF, he ever repays you then you can let your guard down. Sounds to me like he is setting you up to steal from you again in some way. |

No check. He indicated that he wanted to make amends and that was the reason that I agreed to see him. He throws it in my face when I mention it. This is the biggest issue; when I'm around him, I'm uncomfortable because I'm trying to figure out what his angle is this time. I feel like I'm Archer and he's Conway Stern... waiting to get stabbed in the back. |

My guess is that you are not the only "door mat" for just this previous friend. You struggle not being a "door mat" for many people ?

IF this guy was truly humble, repentant and genuine he would have approached you out of the clear blue with the $$ he owed you and then some and like Jake said he would have bought you the CBD oil and then been profusely apologetic IF he were truly a changed man. Just the fact you have posted this wanting feedback this is your gut telling you, "NO" don't trust this guy if he wants to borrow $$, BUT whether he pays you back or not you still must forgive him because Jesus forgave you. |

Again, this was because of my own insecurity and wanting people to like me. Lessons learned. I hope... |

You find out how thin the support is from "friends" when they turn on you and walk away. Real friends dont judge or make friendship conditional.

I get that you grew up together and there is a level of unconditional love that comes with that, but you’re getting too old for this shit. Everything you’ve told us paints a picture of a guy who has used you at every opportunity. Now he hears you use CBD so of course he wants to sell you some. Hit eject.
