I hate my friends

I don't like my friends. Sounds mean but it's true. The more I am around them the more I question how I ever became a part of the group. My problem is that there is zero loyalty. One of the group members was in an abusive relationship with another group member. He pushed her, verbally abused her for years and when she tried to break up with him he stalked her and made her life hell. The rest of the group still chat with him like he is a decent human and are still friendly with him. Wtf??!?! Why? Why has he not been ostracized?? And the drinking oh my god the drinking..... Everything revolves around booze. Everything. It's so sad. No one is creative or smart enough to come up with something else? They are going to look back on their lives and maybe remember all the nights at the pub, if wasn't one of the black out nights which seem to be a badge of honor. Ugh...grow up!!

You've outgrown your so-called "friends"

and good for you.
At least you recognize it and you can move on.

So, you're calling your friends not loyal, then criticize them for remaining friends with the guy? Isn't that a little contradictory?!? I think some people just stick with their friends even though their friends did something wrong. I don't agree with it but I think this is exactly what people call loyalty. You might think you're better than all of them but you just come across as very judgemental to me. If you don't like their lifestyle, then don't hang out with them. They can choose however they want to live their life. They don't need your approval: you're not in high school anymore. Please grow up!!

Sounds like I had the same group of friends when I was much younger and in my early 20's. Don't worry, most of them will grow up eventually, just not now. I would suggest you just step back from them, and start doing the kinds of things that you would like to do, and who knows, maybe one of your friends feels the same way that you do, and would like to join you in your activities.

Not friends

If you feel that way about people you’re spending time with, then they’re not friends. Just doesn’t fit the definition.

Forget about them

It's frustrating since you're the only level headed in the group who sees through that drunken loser. If it was me, I'd just cut them off and leave them all behind. You don't belong with these guys anymore and deserve much better. Sometimes more often than not, it's better to be alone than be surrounded by idiots that don't understand you. Things change and shit does happen but life goes on.
