Hello everyone, and welcome back to Dialogue with Cristobal Martinez!
Omar and I had one of the most stressful friendships in the history of BOYCP and post-BOYCP. This was Back of the Yards College Prep by the way.
I was first weirded out by Omar calling me a dumbass over a fucking stool chair at anatomy and physiology class, senior year. That same year, Omar found my stim of walking around being annoying, I called Omar stupid due to his actions, I apologized to Omar, became Facebook friends with him, and then get unfriended by him a week later.
I tried to be big about it, but that betrayal hit me so hard that I felt miserable. I suppressed that betrayal until April 2018, when I called Omar out on social media. I had to take it back, but the damage did involve Omar deleting his Instagram account, which I followed in 2016.
In October 2018, I apologized to Omar but almosted fucked it up due to my need for closure. Omar and I remained in touch until November 2019, when I decided to end the so-called friendship I had with him because of my obsession and paranoia with him. That resulted in Omar blocking me on Facebook and Messenger.
It wasn't until March 2024, when I decided to befriend Omar on Snapchat. I apologized by stating that him and I both made mistakes in the past, but he wasn't interested. So, I decided to start a conversation with Omar after failing to try to have him let me have it on my podcast, The Cristobal Martinez Podcast. The conversation was great at first, when I said to him that I'm still learning to be mature. He said that it's alright, we all learn from our mistakes. Then, I said that he was still a good person no matter how much bullshit I throw at him. And, no response.
Until now, it's safe to assume he blocked me on Snapchat after disappearing from my sight, again.
What did you do wrong, Cristobal?
I'm still not sure. That's my problem with men like Omar, they get so offended by my flat-out honesty and naivety.
Even when I try to date other men, granted because I'm gay, I still deal with that bullshit. I had a guy who made me question my bragging about my achievement of writing a book, because I showed him an Instagram Reel of a makeshift commercial for my book. I would expect him to be interested in my work. But, I had to bite my tongue to stay in the dating game with that guy, because he took issue with an example of how I try to promote my book after publishing it.
These "one false move" men easily get under my skin. I don't understand them with their main character syndrome running about. I know I have main character syndrome, but at least I can do anything by myself to have main character moments.
Honestly, the only good experience I had with Omar was how his appearances, because I treated my high school years like a TV show just like my life in general, has always gained interest from my imaginary fans.
This might be the only Dialogue post I will make about Omar, and trust me, I said worse shit about him on The Cristobal Martinez Podcast until I reflected on my other podcast, Keeping Up With Cristobal. And who knows? Maybe Omar will make a return to my imaginary television show called life in the future.
