I have a buddy that is really becoming super selfish about things. He's not willing to listen to any of his friends' problems, doesn't want to contribute to anything, will complain about whatever, and is pretty much just driven by money.
The thing is, he admits it - the only thing he wants to do with us is party or get lunch or whatever as long as we don't really talk about anything serious. I talked to him about a problem I had, and he said "I'm going to be honest, I didn't listen to that and I don't care."
But he's a generally sociable, fun dude as long as you just treat him like a drinking buddy. Should I drop someone like this or just accept he doesn't really care about anyone but himself?

It's fine to have friends at different tiers of closeness.

It's up to you
If keep him around as a drinking buddy
At least he's honest about his assholeness. This means you always know what to expect from him
I have lots of friends that I only really see at parties

Well, maybe I should have mentioned that this isn't how he always was - I've known him for about 15 years and the reason we'd become great friends is because he gave a shit.
This is a new development.

Sucks but I wouldn't try to change him
If you can't stomach having him different then it's time to end the friendship

>B-but I n-need t-to talk to s-someone about my f-feelings
Your friend's not a beta bitch, get over it.

It's not "muh feelings," it's like "dude work was shit today, let me tell you this story" or "did you see what happened on the news today, ain't that some shit?"
That's the kind of shit you talk about with your long-term pals. Not everything is "listen to this sick jam" and "I fucked this girl this weekend."

not enough that it was bad for you, but u have to make it bad for him vicariously
He's honest.
A real friend stabs you in the front.
Most of your other friends do the same, but don't have the balls to tell you.
