so i made a post about my friend back in february, and this is just a so called update to what happened. a small summary is below for a recap.

back in february, one of my best friends started ignoring me for no reason. before making any rash decisions, i spoke about this to a couple of my other friends and they confirmed that they too saw my best friend acting this way. i have talked to him a couple times about this, and he always seems to brush off my concerns. i had other problems with him, and i brought them up when i talked to him. the other problems included hanging out with his friends more, (not saying he can't) and not talking to me unless i start a conversation. i still really wanted to be friends with him, so i started initiating more things to do together and one of them was playing an online game in which we both like. i asked him about 3 times over the course of the week if we can play together, and the only thing i got from was either a no or he just didn't respond. and i was cool with that and left him be; and as weeks went on, i noticed that he started to hang out with his friends and just leaving me when he saw them. sure we would still talk, (rarely) but when he saw one of his friends he never hesitated to get up and leave me to talk to them. it was kind of like i was his afterthought. so i started to distance myself away from him because i was being treated this way even after the times i've talked to him about this. in march, he came and talked to me about how i was making a big deal about small things like this. i told him that all i really wanted him to do was say hi to me more because he wasn't doing it at all, and that i wouldn't have brought it up if it didn't seem like he was ignoring me. i brought it up because every time there was more people other than me, he would say hi to all my friends except me. i ignored it a couple times, but it was every single time. i kept making excuses for him on how he was "just oblivious" to other people's feelings including mine. when i told him about this, he got all defensive and told me "i don't have to say hi to you all the time", completely missing the point. he also told me that he wasn't going to hold my hand through little things like this and ended the conversation. i get that he doesn't have to say hi to me all the time, but he used the excuse of us not having any classes together as to why he couldn't- we have lunch together and i don't even get a hi then. again, i wouldn't have told him about this if he did the same thing to other people. time and time again i would watch him say hi to all our friends no matter if they had classes together or not but not me. i felt left out all the time as well.

here is the update!

during this month, i haven't really talked to him because now basically everything he does annoys me. but the thing is, now he's the one asking to do things with me. this took me by surprise because during our friendship i would always ask him to play and whatnot. but now like he did, i either ignore his message or i just leave him on read. we had another conversation and he kept asking me why i was so dry and that he was putting all the effort in the friendship now. and he is right as i don't think i should be putting in the time and energy into a friendship that he clearly doesn't care for. a little while ago i found out he was talking behind my back with another friend of mine, and i since stopped being close with her too. turns out he was talking with a couple other friends about me as well. i still have him added on everything, as i want to keep him close just in case. but to me, this friendship is dead. i feel like i should have seen the signs as he didn't get me a gift for my birthday last year or the year before but i constructed a handmade card and a gift basket for him, but got a distant friend that he just met an expensive thing of makeup from sephora. he was the one who told me to drop the whole thing because when i told people what happened they all saw him as the bad guy because i told them what he did.

would i be TA if i cut all contact with him?
