As someone who had someone like that in his life, cut the person off if all else fails. If you think Richie is an approachable person, go up to him and explain why you are so uncomfortable around him. Make it clear what he is doing that is upsetting you, and try to give him the benefit of the doubt. If he turns around and yells at you and denies everything, then you should cut him off. Someone is isn't willing to examine their own behavior and how it can effect others is not someone you need in your life.

Communication is very important, and i advocate for communication before cutting anymore off. However, if you truly think this person will not hear you out on what he is doing wrong and how he is hurting you, its time to rethink the friendship.

TLDR: try to approach your friend. If he doesn't listen to you, seriously consider cutting him out of your life. You deserve to be surrounded by friends who support you and have good intentions at heart.

omg they seem rly terrible- i wuld suggest talking 2 them abt y u dont like them and trying 2 work it out but if theyre not willing 2 try 2 like get better and not b such a jerk then just drop them. but if u feel that they deff wont listen or will just b a jerk then skip all of thiz and drop them.

Get them out of your life asap. They're clearly a walking red flag and the longer you keep them in your life the harder it's going to be to get rid of them. Let Jen know what Richie is doing. If they're really a good friend they'll believe you and help you avoid Richie. If you sit near them in any of your classes you could ask a teacher if you could switch seats. If not you could just ignore them completely or talk shit behind their back to some of their friends if you really want to.
