Yeah you know what I mean. The one that constantly pisses you off and you benefit anything from having him or her around. The person who you dont like but hang around anyway. The person that your other friends hate. That guy or girl your friends with out of pity
My advice? Stop hanging around these people and get better friends.
So yeah I'm sure you have one why the fuck are you hanging around them?
Me personally I'm getting rid of a lot of people like that and you know what? I feel a hell of a lot better
You know, it's really weird, but in a lot of ways I think people just like having their normality challenged.
I had an internet buddy named Alex who I used to spend time with every day. We played MMOs together, talked about college, discussed sciencey news, made fun of the latest internet trends, etc. We were super best bros. But he was a complete dick. He was untrustworthy, made my life hell, made me lose several other friends, and always had a smart ass comment even when I was feeling super depressed. On the flip side I was always telling him off about how much of a jerk he was, and made fun of him right back. But we were best friends for two years.
I finally stopped talking to him when my girlfriend and I started spending more time together. Just didn't have time to deal with his shenanigans anymore, and I was kinda in the same boat - I thought "why do I even want to deal with this guy? He just makes me miserable." It's been a few years since we last talked. I still think about him from time to time. All things considered, we had a great friendship. It was just a really weird and challenging one.
