How do you ';break up'; with a bad friend?

I have a ';friend'; who ive known for almost three years now and tired of him always coming over to hang out. He's not a really good friend, pretty selfish and is only around you when its convenient and when he has nothing better to do which, unfortunately, is often. Im a student, and i feel like my chill time is really important, not meant to be arguing over stupid things and getting irritated. How do i ';break up'; this friendship and without seeming like a jerk?





P.S. my other buddys like him but i don't want to ruin my friendships with themHow do you ';break up'; with a bad friend?
I know how you feel man, this happened to me just a few months ago.





The best thing to do to not seem weird or completely mean is to just not invite him over anymore. Don't call him. Don't text him. Ignore his calls. Ignore his texts, unless its something extremely important. You can still casually talk to him at school or wherever you see him in public, but if he asks to hang out then just say you've got a lot of stuff or homework to do, or you've already made plans, and then lie. You may feel bad doing it but in the end it's what's best for you if he is causing you unnecessary stress.How do you ';break up'; with a bad friend?
Does he show up unannounced? If so, tell him you need him to call before he comes over. This way, you can stop the visits on the phone by telling him it's not a good time. If he disrespects this and still shows up, tell him at the door.





Because he's friends with your other friends, it would be difficult to just break the relationship off completely.
man thats tough if your other friends like him. i wouldn't try to ';break up'; with him per say but rather try and distance yourself from him. if you know him pretty well then think of stuff he doesnt like and whenever he calls you or anything when your alone try to make sure you say your doing that kinda stuff. if your with other people you could suggest to do stuff that he doesnt like, but you have to like it. otherwise people will know something is up if all of a sudden you want to go to the ballet or something weird.
send him over to your other buddies when he comes over
