>hangout with guy you haven't seen in 2 and a half years

Had the same thing happen with a girl I met at a volunteer event. Texted way too much and would call about some piddly shit that didn't need a phone call.

How I dealt with it, I invited her to coffee and told her she needs to chill. Told her texting too much isn't a good look and that is comes off as desperate. Made sure to remind her that I don't mind her texts but too much isn't a good thing.

She thanked me and things have been good so far.

That's fine and all. I don't want to be friends with this person. His personality is rather toxic and he's completely unaware of himself. It's a little more complicated than just not speaking with him though. We were close friends growing up from grade 8-12. Then I slowly eased out talking to him because he moved away for 2 years, so that worked out well. He moved back in August and asked if I wanted to hangout. We catched up, I realized he hasn't changed and is still an obnoxious person and now I'm being bombarded with messages almost everyday by a desperate sensitive NEET that wants to be my best friend.

Then you be direct and say that you feel the friend you knew from the past isn't the same and that you wish to go your seperate ways. Do it in person, not by phone or text. After this is done, block him social networking and phone.

Same thing happened to me in college. This dude would legitimately call me about every inane detail in his life and I just didn't care. So I told him straight up unless it's important don't call me. Then he starts texting me about bullshit and I just don't respond

Why not just block him?

I wish I could fully articulate this guy to you guys.

He's a strange case. He's highly sensitive and takes things very personally. He is a literal compulsive liar and will lie about the silliest shit. Even shit that doesnt even matter. I don't know if it's to try and impress me, impress himself, maybe he wishes he was the person he describes himself as. I don't know. But it's obnoxious when you know a person is lying to your face. Like what do you do? When I was closer to him in grade school some buddies and I wound regularly call him out on his b.s and he would stick to his stories till the very end and always look heart broken and embarrassed doing it. Now it's just him and I that hangout and I kinda feel sorry for him so I don't really want to hurt him.

So you will endure this bullshit because you feel sorry for him.

This is how relationships go back past their terminal date and how people become miserable. Nip this in the ass now. He is a grown man and can handle this...in fact you are doing him a service. By rejecting him and laying it out for him to why you are not dealing with his crap, he will have to self evaluate himself and change.

Make it happen the next time you see him.

He's also saying how he's going to be joining my bjj gym. Did you take that into consideration? I might have to see this guy on a daily basis after breaking him the news..
