What should you do if you're one of someone's only friends, but you don't really like the person?

Question

There's this guy I hang out with who is kinda cool, but he's really annoying a lot of the time, so I don't really wanna hang out with him, but I'm pretty much his only friend, so if I stop hanging out with him I'll probably hurt his feelings a lot. What the heck should I do???

Answer 1

Why don't you be a friend and tell him what it is that annoys you about him. He can't correct his bad behavior if no one tells him. You might actually like hanging out with him after he becomes less annoying.

Answer 2

Sensitive subject.

Make more friends, if u a group then maybe someone else in the group will get along with him better &u not the bad guy cause u introduced him to more people.

Or just tell him he's annoying, sometimes friends can change a habit if they know it irratates u.

Answer 3

Make him understand that you have other things to do and you may not be around so often as to hang out with him. But then, be a friend, tell him that when he needs you , just give you a call? It won't hurt. Try it.

Answer 4

Those situations are always a dilemma. You could stay his friend, but limit the amount of time you spend with him.

The problem with these kind of friendships is that the person who doesn't want to break off the friendship almost always starts to resent the other person.

Answer 5

I wouldn't drop him cold, but I would wean myself off of him. He probably doesn't know why people don't like him so you might have a little chat with him and clue him in.

Answer 6

I'd say introduce him to some other people so maybe he can spend time with other people and less time with you.

Answer 7

bring him around some other people like him that are as annyoing as him and then slowoly ease your way out of his life

Answer 8

Be honest and tell him it's better to do it now then later.
