In a summary, I had a couple friends I would game and hang out with on a weekly basis. This crew would grow naturally as we all found peps we digged and would hang with.

But once those numbers grew, relations kinda stretched, even peps I met were not around as much. The original couple of peeps would ask me to help them, ask ideas, but would neglect any efforts and belittle any efforts I had in their endeavors. Then once done with the convo, go and hang out with the new peps for fun and games and yadda yadda. Stopped kinda being interested until they needed help.

Few weeks later of this type of behavior, asked them about it. And they would get defensive, stating that my view of the situation was flawed, that I had no understanding and that I should be more humble. Despite the treatment during said endeavors.

A few months later, the situation hasn't improved. And it evolved to feeling like a crutch rather then a friend, and when mentioned, the response to this from them was that. It was invalid, manipulative and psychopathic to tell them my feelings on the subject.

Recently said to hell with it, and cut them from my life. Am I the asshole for saying fuck it and moving on?
