I've finally come to the realization that one of my closest friends is in fact, a gigantic goddamn lolcow despite anything that I could ever do to set him straight. I am a bleeding heart and I love to help people, make treats for my friends, clean your house for you because I'm a weirdo who thinks that's fun, etc. but that also has made me a target for really shitty people in the past. Right now it's turned me into an unpaid social worker for a manchild who actively refuses to grow up. He's thrown fits because his mom asked him to pause his Mario game and take out the trash. I had to explain to him over the phone how to microwave a potato. I helped him clean his room and it took 6 hours to clear the FLOOR. I suspect that his mom once tried to bring down the hammer about being a slob and that's why he flipped out once about being in an "unsafe home environment" and ran away (he was in his 20's at the time) to a homeless shelter overnight.
This now-30 year old man will whine for hours that his friends won't make time for him, despite us all working multiple jobs and juggling adult responsibilities. When I do make time for him I end up having to hear him whine about girls and talk about Pokemon for several hours. Last January he sent me a good 10 paragraphs of text messages whining and begging to hang out, meanwhile I was struggling to keep up with my job, gig work, and a brutal flu all at once.
He left me alone for maybe one week before the begging began again, and I was barely back on my feet and working through being sick. Now I'm slammed with work and he sends me a damn book worth of messages about all his girl problems again.
Every time someone hits him with a truth bomb he doubles down on his "fuck the haters, I'm gonna do what I want" thing and ends up acting even brattier than before. He didn't used to be this bad, it's like he actively goes against all good advice given to him and becomes a worse person for it.
People smarter than I am have all cut ties because he's mentally draining to be around and actually embarrasing to be seen with.
