I would have to agree. He seems to not know how it's affecting you fully, not in touch with your emotions. If you don't distance yourself now then it's only going to get worse. I know you want to hold on to that friendship you made but sometimes the people we want in our lives are toxic, basically like a drug addiction. You came to the right spot, i mean I know we aren't here IRL but there are hundreds of people here just looking to connect and feel they are valued. I've been promoting this website a lot, only because it helped me so much, is Meetup.com. I have issues meeting new people and I can honestly say that this has made it so easy for me to make new friends i have had nothing but good experiences. If you ever need someone to talk to I or anyone else I'm sure would be willing to listen. Hope I helped.
