I'm thinkin I might have to. I'm a pretty loyal friend but this one nikka is something else. Maybe two or three years ago he was going through some shyt and quit his job, all this shyt and I was there for him but all he does now is whine and complain about how nothing is going his way and I hate that shyt.

He got his most recent job through a family member and he hates it but won't look for new work.
He's completely unreliable and is an alcoholic and addicted to pain medication. He never finished his education. No getting through to him on that. He won't listen to nobody. He doesn't talk to women because he says what's the point, he has no money. He's also really envious of me and other friends and what we have but he's one of these people that's always like "Well, You only have this because..." like he'll make excuses for why we've been successful instead of going out and trying to do shyt for himself.

It's tiresome. Problem is we been friends for years but we are two totally different people now than when we were growing up.

Bruh i've done cut so many friendships :mjcry:

I only have maybe 1-2 real friends, but thats just the way i am i have more fun being alone. I remeber i would know lots of people at school, walk down the hallway on some handshake/daps every 10-15 seconds shiit:takedat:. But i would never hit any of those guys up outside of school, it was just like guys to talk to because they were around me in the situation. Outside of school id only want to be alone.



I'm sure this mentality has fcked me up on a lot of experiences/fun.....but one thing is i've had a pretty drama free life because of preferring my own company. :sas2:



TLDR:I've had a lot of relationships where i got real close on some brother/bestfriend shyt with someone else and had to cut it off because i've moved around a lot. And with the type of parents i had, i just had to build a mentality where i loved to be by myself and could enjoy my own company.

:heh:
People have a image of me as being nice and respectful and I am, but when someone crosses me or departs :ehh:

I lived a toxic life back then, people Ic alled friends were a anchor on my life and success, women I hanged around were poisonous.

I never smoked, drank, cursed, partied, clubbed and thats all these people were doing

SO i just said eff it, and vanished and started over :heh:

Yeah I've cut off a few friends. It happens..people grow apart all the time.

As far as the OP situation. I'll quote The 48 Laws of Power

Avoid The Unhappy and the Unlucky

You can die from someone else's misery—emotional states are as infectious as diseases. You may feel you are helping the drowning man but you are only precipitating your own disaster. The unfortunate sometimes draw misfortune on themselves; they will also draw it on you. Associate with the happy and fortunate instead.

There isn't a person in this world that isn't my parents, my brother, or my cousin who I barely see these days, who I can't live without if they aren't worth it. I got family I haven't seen in years, friends I rarely see. There's always someone else to replace them. If the friendship isn't worth the effort then there's no need to stress. I have plenty of friends I've lost touch with or stopped being with. If they can show they changed for the better and still loyal then I have no issues reuniting with them. I'm a loyal guy, but I'm selfish too. I'm not about to worry about someone else before me.
