My friend is 51. He has changed and become cocky and arrogant. There is a group of us. We don't see him much now but when we do he is quite nasty to us. I had it out with him a while back as he gave me a dirty look and raised his voice when I said he might have got the year wrong on a song that was on, it was in jest. We 'patched' it up but since then I feel on eggshells.
Last time we went out he mocked one of our friends calling him dopey and imitated his accent and mannerisms a few times to the guy's girlfriend. I didn't say anything I didn't want the hassle and she did not either. It is like he insults people to feel superior. He said I was late when I was not, he is pedantic is people are not bang on time but I was. He always tries to start arguments. The other day I said I remember him telling me something and he abruptly said that was a long time ago in other words he has moved on.
He always turns conversations back to him and is not interested in your life. Lots of people have cut him off as a result even deleting on Facebook and some he has known for nearly 30 years. He was not like this before the lockdowns and it feels like he is a different person. We all meet up every few months. I like everyone else but dread seeing him yet he was the one I liked the most years ago.
