Kind of a tricky situation I’ve found myself in. My core group of buddies have all been friends since we were about 12, now we are 25 and over all the years I shared similar interests hobbies etc as them. However post high school things have changed. They became bitter, unmotivated and in general defeatists about most things. I find myself talking about the same stories from years ago or topics every time we hang out. They have the same complaints, not having a girlfriend, not having hobbies, not enjoying their job. And no matter how many times I give them advice I just get a “Ya maybe I should try that” with no follow through. I’m at the point where I’m at a completely different place in life from them as they quite literally have sat with their wheels spinning finding contentment in their wallowing. I don’t want to be rude and leave them saying they’re negative and don’t really bring any joy into my life anymore. However I also can’t stick around, I’ve watched the same destructive cycles repeat over and over and I don’t want to subject my time or emotions to it. I always stuck around because they are my boys and I want the best for them, however I’ve found myself at a point where I’ve got nothing in the tank and frankly have started resenting many things when I’m around them. I need to leave but can’t just disappear as they really only have a few other friends besides me. What can I do? submitted by /u/Altruistic-Tip4259
