There's something about the guy that never clicked with me. For starters, he calls me a nickname I've repeatedly asked him to drop. He also makes a lot of very bro-like rough anti-LGBT jokes calling me slurs...etc. I've got nothing to do with the LGBT but it still puts me off. It's like someone making racist jokes. He also kinda sucks at everything that he does; really no problems with that, the problem is that, you know how someone argues for the sake of arguing and wanting to look smart? There are so many fields I'm pretty knowledgeable in and when I hear his takes, I always cringe, like diet and fitness, immigration laws, finance and investing, videogames, overall general life knowledge. When I talk with him, I don't feel like I'm learning something new, and I don't feel like he wants to learn anything new. It's really exhausting.

I also don't like that he leaves me hanging every time I wanna play with him, and the dude is just...cringe. I really can't stand him anymore.

But I feel very bad because in reality, he's just insufferable but not in a harmful way, you know? Like he's not doing bad to people, he's very respectful towards others, and overall he seems to have his shit together, very helpful at times as well... it's just hanging out with him is... painful.

I really don't know what to do.

TL;DR: WIBTAH if I break ties with my friend I've known for years because I can't stand hanging out with the dude and I find chilling him rather stressful and exhausting?
