There's this guy, Niki, who considers me his "best friend". I used to reciprocate but that was a pretty long time ago. And since sometime he has been getting on my nerves.
Anyway, sorry for the long story I just need to let off some steam because no one else will listen to me, so please bear with me.
Let me give you an example of his "charming" behaviour. I recently stopped smoking (almost 3 and a half months in now) and when he found out he was very critical, not only because he's a smoker but it's one of his character flaws.
Believe it or not, but his first words were "what a shame that you stopped". I was about to smack him in the face. I cannot even begin to comprehend the degree of ignorance in the mind of someone who thinks like that.
The other day he tried to make me... "envy" a cigarette. He slowly took out a smoke, left the packet wide open on the table and slowly lit it and took a big puff and exhaled in my face.
I reacted by waving the smoke out my face and telling him "Damn it niki, don't blow your smoke in my face. If I wanted CO2 I wouldn't have quit smoking, would I?".
He then came on with his ad hominem and reminded me that I used to make fun of people who wave smoke away from their face. I think that he was trying to make me look like a hypocrite and remind me that "I once too was a smoker" (as if that means anything), something which he does quite often.
He even went so far as to try and say that smoking doesn't kill. And he continues to offer me cigarettes from time to time and when I say no he sighs and raises his eye brows as if in disgust. I don't think this guy's jealous, I think he's a moron to be honest.
Other times, he'll get out a drink, start sipping, or a snack and doesn't even bother to offer any of it. Correct me if I'm wrong but if someone comes to my house I would be ashamed of myself to start eating or drinking something without offering them any of it.
His mum got him an apartment on the next block to hers, and he uses it almost all the time. I've been sleeping at his house from time to time for months now and he still hasn't even get a proper rubbish bin in there, which is frankly ridiculous. He never cleans up, doesn't do any work whatsoever and is basically a slob to put it plainly.
And if I can't sleep at his house he will get p*ssed at me and start sulking for not being able to sleep over EVERY WEEKEND. This guy doesn't understand I have a life. For him getting his drivers' license is more important than finishing high school. He's 18 in a few months and still has no clue what he wants to do for a living. His highest ambitions are things like being a car tester for a magazine. I mean come on, I want to be a doctor, that's something good and respectable, why the hell am I hanging out with this moron?
My parents didn't like this guy from the start, and now that I've spent so much time with him I think I know why. I've personally had enough of him and I want to get some distance, I've never seen anyone so ignorant in my life.
He claims that I'm his best friend but when he behaves like that I'm like "God help the next git who wants to be his best friend".
I can go on all night about his flaws but stuff it I think you get the message.
So please, how do I get away from this guy permanently?
Thanks,

They say familiarity breeds contempt ; I say amen to that.
