I'm not sure what to do here boys here's my story:

if you have to really try to be friends with someone, i'd say it's not working out

>>723737457
he just became one of those people who want to stay at home all day, play vidya and avoid human interaction forever.

To each their own but I know him man, I think he knows we're still gonna be friends, he's just fine seeing me like 2-3 times a year.

I'm trying to provide him with that dose of 'normal' for people our age. If it's not for me then he'd have noone to hang out with and just grow up to be miserable and alone.

Whenever I come over and we watch a movie or just talk shit he seems genuinely into it, I think he just spent too much time alone

similar situation here, but not with one friend, but several. some have different reasons than others but after all I just try to keep in contact with the most important ones.
me also not sure, but perhaps it will change again one day

you are just trying to put the blame on /b/ you will abandon him

sometimes I think that once people hit that college phase, they start to lose old friends and make new ones. It happened to me with most people I know, but if theres nothing stopping me and that guy from still being friends then I don't understand why I should just forget him

what? I don't want to, thats the point of my thread, I'm asking if I should, if anyone had a similar experience and how they dealt with it and if it worked out at the end.

I mentioned earlier that I was ok with some of my other friends leaving, its just the way things went but he doesn't seem like the person that would prefer to stop being friends. I think he just likes the thought of having a friend out there, but not necessarily hang out with him all the time like we used to

I think just try and get him out in a group situation. If he doesn't want to/doesnt try then move on. Two way Street and all that.

yea but is it gonna work? this feels like a friendship on life support, like he's just waiting for me to pull the plug.

If I knew its the better thing to do I'd let him go, but as it stands I'm pretty much his only friend. I'm not sure if me constantly trying to be a friend to him does him any good. Should people like that be left alone? or should I just keep doing what I'm doing, hoping that he might change his mind somewhere down the line and decide to socialize more?

he just wants to keep this autistic attitude. he has convinced himself he doesn't need friends anymore and has to pretend he doesn't want to keep in touch. Just keep it up man

see it from his pov when you leave him, do you like it ?

>>723739690
I'm telling myself I do, like this anon mentioned >>723739512
but in the long run I think it'll slowly sink in that the only person that wanted to be in touch with me I've neglected to the point where he left, and now I'm realizing how much I fucked up
