Is there anyone in your life that makes you wonder why you are friends with them yet you continue to be friends with them?

The first friend I made after moving in grade 6. He’s pretty chill and even fun to be around at best, but he can be self absorbed as fuck. As long as I make conversation about his interests, it’s smooth sailing. But whenever I say something about myself, it’s like he doesn’t hear me, and he just keeps rattling off about this show and its characters as if I’ve seen it (I usually haven’t).

Like I love when people recommend me stuff, it’s such a nice gesture to see/hear something and think “hey, maybe xyz will like this too?” But wait for me to start watching it before referencing it constantly, and don’t get pissed when I’m not inclined to watch a third 10 minute video about a character’s development in a show I have never seen.
