Finally took the plunge and made the decision to block an overbearing friend on social media (he was spamming me with memes, getting angry if I didn't respond, declaring that he would leave me alone forever, then spamming me with memes the next day). I guess I felt a bit bad for him as I know he doesn't have many friends, which is why I never cut him off completely...but he's really worn that down (and I'm really worn down by this as well).
How old is he, 10? Good on you. I tell my teenager not to tolerate that shit from friends. I know people can have their own Stuff that makes them think this is an acceptable way to treat friends but it boils down to looking after yourself. I had a friend like this years ago who was exhausting and I was so glad when she dumped me in the friendship. Amazing how much my mood lifted after all contact stopped.
