I haven't talked to him in a while. We used to be pretty close but through my ex and just life in general have drifted apart. He was obviously distressed about his situation in life and really has no true friends and his family for the most part doesn't seem to care about him. When we used to hang out years ago we were both reckless kids. Didn't care about anything, both suffering from depression and social problems among things and used drugs of all kinds to cope. Pretty much the bottom of the barrel. I've dug myself out of that life and while I do still smoke weed and occasionally drink I find those to be tolerable life choices instead of the necessities of escapism. Anyway he called and sounded so incredibly lost and told me I was his best friend and that he loved me and missed me and wanted to hang out and he asked for some money to get back to town. I really think he does need me in a way but at the same time hes done nothing to better himself and I don't know If I want a friend that is so , for lack of a better word, needy. I can barely take care of myself and I don't want to have to take care of someone else. Plus I have no intention of going back to that life I used to live and as such we have almost nothing in common. He said hes going to call me again later which I found really strange... I guess my question to you all here is that he's a good guy at heart but I can't take a friend on who is clingy and has no intention to better themselves yet I really don't want to be another person in his life who doesn't give a f-ck about him. How do I go about this whole situation...? I have no other friends as I rarely leave the house and this seems like a task I just can't deal with.
