Just broke up with a "friend" who wasted my attention on pseudo-philosophical discussions and was indirectly threatening me with a possibility of hard physical damage through poetic mentions. I asked him to be clear in his questions but he still rejected it with arcane quotes. Then he completely deleted our dialogue. Two months ago he indirectly threatened me with AI deepfakes. In December of 2025 he offered me creative collaboration without clear agenda/idea (or at least offer a channel where it can be discussed clearly). Even tho we were friends.

In the previous year I knew intuitively that something was wrong in our relationship. We made one small real project on which I tutored him. In 2020 I also tutored him on another collaborative Java project with depth of programming patterns. However, he lacked genuine interest and consistency and he abandoned his learning with no useful or creative/interesting results in pet projects. He could not even consciously admit what were the problems in his path, why he even needed to start programming at all. Then after failure he just jumped to producing AI "art" with no original value or effort in sharing it. With all that he was not even bothered by a fact that I have autism spectrum disorder and I needed to put in more effort in understanding cues than so-called "normies". But I needed to confirm my clues.

I have known him for 6 years 😞️

I trust my friends like all people do.
