Ok let's start from the beginning. I have a friend who sometimes can be fine and then other times he can be a complete d***. I'll keep this short but sometimes he trys to act all cool and saying mean things. He sometimes will tell me that girl won't like you if the girl is like extremely hot. He sometimes has a bad atitude. Sometimes I feel like stabbing him but instead I do the mature thing and try to ignore. I just think I'm better off without him. It's kind of weird because the first few years of our lives we got along pretty well. I have plenty of other friends who are more laid back and seem to be more nice. He's just got that preppy stuck up atitude that I just don't like. What would you do?
P.S- I also work with him but for the most part he's not a jerk.

Tell your friend what you just told us. Maybe he does not realize how much he annoys people when he tries to act tough. Talk straight to him, don't beat around the bush. If he doesn't like what you have to say he will at least know you are annoyed with him. Don't argue, fight or mince words with him. Be an adult and tell him you expect the same from him if you are to remain friends. His macho BS attitude needs to go.
Good luck.

Ignoring is definitely better than stabbing. :-)
No, it is not bad to want to end a friendship. If the friendship is not productive to both sides, then it is actually bad to continue it. It is best to end it and move on. So, in your case, I would simply stop hanging with the guy. Be civil, but don't call him or hang out with him, and ignore him if he is a jerk about it. Eventually he'll get the clue and move on himself.
Get used to it. Friendships come and go all your life. That doesn't mean that they will all come to an end. I've been friends with some of the same people for 15 years or more. That said, I've also seen dozens of friends come and go. It is just a part of life. Usually if you lose one friend, another one is quickly found over the next horizon. Good luck!

Nope. The older I get, the more I realize time is too short to waste on certain people. I have an ex-friend that I cut off. I will e-mail once in a while just to see how everything is going, but I made it clear that I no longer wanted a real friendship from her. She was a good person at heart, it was just hard finding that side of her. I found that I had to force myself to hang out with her. I still care about her, I just no longer want to be bothered with her. I know that sounds horrible, but I don't really care.

through fact the questions says 'undesirable' friendship, it for sure exhibits that the friendship became laid on the inspiration of dishonesty, hypocrisy, loss of have confidence or understand-how or any of those issues. whilst even the backside of it wasn't solid, and began with a bent approach which became no longer sufficient to take care of it, then the friendship will bring about problems only. no longer only that, all the way by way of, the era of this undesirable placing out to the disastrous end could desire to have been turbulent and packed with problems too.

*Hmmm
Well I would just be blunt with him and let him know that this is weighing on your mind, and that you can take a joke or whatever once in awhile and that is cool, but sometimes you think he acts like a total a** for no reason...and you could care less for the attitude he gives you.
.Be straight up with him, and keep it short, simple, and to the point.
.Don't let him think that you are being a "girl" about it, just toughen up and tell him what you told us.......sort of and fill him in on how your feeling.

He sounds like he is going through something right now. Is he doing drugs?? Lose a close friend or family member? Try talking to him. Tell him how you feel. HE may be the one that needs a friend right now.

You sound very confused---ween this guy out of your life slowly but surely---misery loves company and you don't need anyone belittling you on a daily basis. Do something before you end up on the 6:00 news for manslaughter of a "FRIEND"

I would straight up ask him why he acts like a dick sometimes. He's probably jelous of you . Just dont do ity at work. If he's a real friend he will stop. If not get rid of him, bad energy is contagous.

Confront him about the problem first. If it's bad enough and he doesn't change to where you're better off without being friends, then stop being friends.
