Is NOBODY wrong in the post ? POST : So I hang with a group of friends and we're all pretty nerdy. We watch anime, play videogames, go to conventions, esports tournaments, etc. You get the gist, we're a bunch of geeks.

One day this guy just showed up and latched onto us. He was invited to our party and I honestly have no idea how he ended up here. He was somebody's sister's, classmate's, coworker's, teammate or something like that.

After the party ended, he'd somehow been invited to our group chat, which is think is a huge mistake.

Now we can't get rid of him without being super rude to his face. He invites himself to everything, and even when we ignore him, he starts messaging us individually asking for when we're hanging out. A few of the nicer people in our friend group just feel sorry for him and cave, and end up inviting him along.

He has nothing in common with us. He's loud, energetic, super active, and basically has no geeky interests at all. But he's so desperate for friends that he ends up going along with whatever we do, but just sticks out like a sore thumb.

For example, a few of us are are obsessed with an anime based mobile game, and occasionally we just sit down together and do nothing but grind events. Like we're that geeky. Some of us have multiple accounts and dual boot the app on our phone.

To fit in, he downloaded it and started playing even though he has no idea what it's even about. And he only ever plays it when we whip out our phones at designated double exp event times.

Or how we'll all go wait in line to watch the My Hero Academia movie, and he wants to tag along. Even though he has absolutely no idea what's going on. He's just so desperate I feel like an ass just for not reciprocating! He even COOKS for us, he's so desperate it's...I feel like an ass for not wanting to be friends.

Like why does this guy even want to be friends with us? Why can't he find friends with his own interests? None of us want to kick him out because we've all experienced being a cast out loner because of our weird hobbies, and he's genuinely nice. But he's making things so awkward for all of us!

Like if he only showed up occasionally, I wouldn't mind as much. But he shows up to literally everything, even when we're being passive aggressive and refuse to carpool with him, he'll drive an hour just to follow us to an event.

Am I an asshole for feeling absolutely nothing but annoyance towards a guy who hasn't done anything wrong but be different?
