Friend is pissing me off

So basically it's like this, I work on the weekends and sometimes random days of the weeks. I am trying to get as many hours as possible before classes start again for Fall Semester. Pretty much everyday I get a call from him either from his GF's cell, or his work in which he wants to talk about a certain project, what I'm up to, or want to do something. Now by hanging out he basically means go to where works and sit down for hours till he clocks out and then go get something to eat with him, his gf, and maybe some other friends of ours. Or drive to his house, which is motherfucking Atoka and basically sit there while they smoke pot and watch cartoon network. Fuck that, I don't have the gas to drive there and back, nor the patience to watch Adult Swim while they mimic other shows and so forth.

But what is pissing me off is that he, and the others I hang out with seem to never listen to me. I can't talk about college because it makes them him seeing how they are not in college. And when I try to talk about something personal like the girl I have posted about. When I start talking about they go into how the cycle is like redheads are attracted to blondes or some shit like that. And I never get to talk about it and get it off my chest.

Now for one he could get a better job if just was able to pass a drug test, but it's like he has to smoke pot at least 2-3 times a day. He can't drive because so many pills, and beer now causes him to have seizures which he now has to take medication for several times a day. But that doesn't stop him from complaining. Or his gf for that matter who uses her tips to buy drugs pretty much everynight. And yet they both tend to bitch about money.

They get mad when I am working and can't hang out with them on the weekends, or when I decline to go out to eat with them after work because I simply don't have any money.

I am at wits end with these fuckers who are my friends.

Well... It's frustrating to have friends who aren't understandable to you. I have to say, just hang with other friends and if they ask to hang try and decline and ignore them.. Well obviously I know nothing and I'm sure you're just veneting but yeah. That's all I can say.

i hope you're joking right there.

to the OP - the only funny thing is that you still call them(him?) friends.
at this point youre better of alone.just let it go and move on without them,
its not like you need them or sth

You could stop crying and simply cut off communication with them?

his life probably sucks right now

and he probably wants u to hang out with him cuz it makes it better


stop hanging out with him for a while so it forces him to make his life better on his own


do not be angry at them - they feel the consequences of their own actions I guarrantee it


it sounds like ur talking about one friend in particular, be careful not to lump people in a group together





another option is to simply say what you are saying here to whoever it applies to. you gotta be a bigtime man to do that. and it will probably appear as though it backfired though it may work out best in the long term that way

maybe outgrow was the wrong word but i'm being dead serious.

obviously, you try to work it out first. don't just ditch because of a rough patch but sometimes people/friends go different ways and this could be one of those situations.

As mentioned in the above comments, I'm a bit skeptical about calling them "friends" if you can't even rely on them to help you pull through once in a while.

It's kinda hard to say much more, though, since I don't know your history with these friends of yours. Still, if these people can't be supportive in times of need, lessen your time spent with them. If they say anything, calmly explain the reason why and talk them through it. Honestly, what can that guy say? You owe him something? Well...actually, do you have any particular obligations?

Anyway, best of luck. If you're at the point where you need to rant ABOUT having friends instead of TO your friends, there's something wrong. Keep us updated, too.
