And he is obsessing why all the information on a project at his work is not up immediately. They have to wait for dates times but are building the site so they can then slot in the times. He says the should put all the info up at once.
Also when he is saying something to me in coffee shop which is not a big secret but maybe private/not PC he looks around conspiratorially as if to see if anyone listening. I just speak lower
Any new experience he has has to be repeated over and over and become part of texts or conversation
Going to give coffee a miss for a while as I am fed up with the constant rehashing and obsessing about his job where i do not even know the people involved. Nearly screamed at him yesterday. I did scream inside my head

He sounds very emotionally exhausting to be around. And very controlling -- the type of person who doesn't respect other people's boundaries who makes every interaction all about himself, versus seeing interactions and situations from other people's points of view. Does he get really angry when people point out his overbearing behavior to him?
If you are afraid to tell him how his behavior makes you feel, that is a sign this friendship is super toxic to your well-being. Maybe think about what the benefit is to being this mans friend is for you? It doesn't sound like you are able to be yourself around him and that for me, would be a serious red flag. Why are you friends with him? Why do you put up with his behavior?
