I like when I nonverbally find out my inclusion in something #FindMeBusy

Have a ‘friend’ who does his best to gateguard entire groups of people from each other. He told me this in confidence once but I’m ngl there’s no confidence when I’m one of the people he’s keeping out. This man has broken down on my shoulder before and I’m still not sure if I’m his friend or an emotional crutch. I’ve started letting him know how I feel about everything he does (it’s a lot) and nothing has changed so I’m kinda ready to go around and tell some people that this isn’t ok behavior.

His wording deadass. But for example every time we find him in public with people with one of his other groups he will stand up, meet us halfway to stop us from even making it to the other group and proceed to have the entire convo right there (usually in the middle of schulze) and in the event that we do make it to the group before he notices us, he will proceed to sit there and ignore us like he don’t know us.

And ik this sounds far fetched as fuck but there’s a reason I put stressors around ‘friend’

To add, he shows up very irregularly. Only to play games, complain abt his life, or cry on my shoulder. He tells our group we’re his best friends then refuses to talk to us in public or introduce us to people. He also straight up is an asshole sometimes. He says a lot of things that don’t need to be said. For example, my friend has been going to the gym lately for weight loss, and this guy thinks it’s a good idea to ask “So when will we see the results?” in a sarcastic tone.
