…this situation. They’re a freshman and I’m a senior, they’re 17. I’m friends with them bc of my friend group. I told them that we shouldn’t hang out for a while, I don’t want you over, etc. He had a bit of a breakdown begging me to not “take away the closest friend he’s ever had” and such, so much so that I went to get him bc I genuinely thought he was going to do something stupid.

thats UR apartment and ur boundaries are getting pushed on. u have a hard time telling ppl to leave but u need to be able to. unsure if you're a girl but idk why you're letting a 17 y/o male beg u? hes too old for that and ur even OLDER than that. at the rate u seem u have it at, i'd just cut him off so he can figure it out himself because he's doing tm.
