"2 real friends"?

I've been at 0 real friends for so long that even the thought of socializing with anyone stresses me out.

I've got one that I treat like gold. They're a childhood friend that is a divorced alcoholic ex-con that went down the keto->carnivore->jordan-peterson->red-pill->gamer-gate pipeline, so not exactly a quality human. But I like to think I'm doing society a favour by keeping tabs on them.

I wish I had a better best friend, but I'm lucky to have even this one.

Honestly as long as your friend raises you up in life and doesn't drag you down, that's a good friend.

Thanks, I know they're trying. And I mean I do love them, even with all their faults.

I think if you wait long enough he will kinda "grow out of it" if it can describe the process correctly. Just once in a while tell him about his wrong doings if he has them

I mean that's what friends are for right?

Yeah definitely. I've started to see that process already. Kinda reminds me of when I was a more virulent atheist and wanted to debate everyone, and just generally be a nuisance.
