Well it's more to do with this friend of mine. I hope it's not too long.
I had this classmate who was basically your stereotypical edgelord: He liked death metal, was an atheist and pretended that he was smarter than everyone.
I was the only one to treat him nicely because I felt bad for him (he's got this rare blood decease and even lost his dad when he was 6 y.o)
He started inviting me to hangout, I couldn't decline because I didn't really have a lot of friends and I needed some to talk to.
I never really considered him like my best friend, he was just a friend at best. He was extremely annoying and cringy. but he thinks I'm his best friend.
Lately I started getting really annoyed by him. He's doesn't want to get a job, he doesn't study since he dropped off school and he still has the same mindset as when I first met him (minus being a metal head). most of his other friends stopped talking to him because they matured.
Also he lies a lot to people.
He would get upset whenever we're in a group of friends and the conversation doesn't involve him. He likes diagnosing himself with mental illnesses and brags about being an intellectual who reads a lot of books even though he read like 3 books his entire life.
He posted about commiting suicide on fb once and ended up not doing it.
He's just a loser with no self-consciousness, he got most of his knowledge from social media and it really shows.
I feel like I should stop talking to him because he's just setting me back, and I really want to improve myself instead of wasting my time with him.
But I can't bring myself to do it because I'm like his only real "friend".
