/r9k/ help
I have a mentally ill friend that constantly wants to hang out with me. He doesn't have that much friends, and more and more leave him since he was diagnosed. And he got used to considering me as his best friend.
The catch is, that i don't like him. I never liked him, i was just always a nice guy. And because of my niceness he thinks i am his bestie. Meanwhile i am super bored every time i hang out with him, i have nothing to say to him, conversations with him are tedious and annoying...
I tried leaving him once, stopped answering to his calls and basically told him to fuck off. He was normal back then. A year after i cut ties i heard that he was diagnosed with mental illness. Out of sorrow i started hanging out with him. And now i can't just tell him to fuck off again, all his friends are leaving him and he is alone locked in a mental asylum. But hanging out with him is just so annoying, i hate every second of it.
What the fuck do i do?
halp plz

Why do you even care? Let him be alone. Maybe he'll figure out how to stop being such a crappy friend. Or maybe he'll make other mentally ill friends. Or maybe neither of those things. It's not your responsibility.

But he consideres me his (only) friend and looks up to me. Leaving him is like leaving a child in middle of a forest. I can't just leave him, knowing it will exponentially worsen his situation... Can i?

Either leave him or don't you can't fucking pull some internet gymnastics with this.

If you have half a heart you'll continue to spend some time around him. Hell, dude sounds like he needs a lifeline. If you aren't a shit human yourself, you might help him improve by setting an example.
If you don't have half a heart and/or are a shitty human, then do whatever, won't matter.
Note, I am not judging either category.

Feels like i'm exactly in between. I feel like i can't leave him, like it would make me biggest asshole in the world, but i have a terrible urge to do it

Then I recommend giving it a shot before abandoning ship. You're already partially committed. You might as well give it a try or it will end up being one of those things that you think about before you sleep for the rest of your life. Being that it seems like you possess a conscience.
