Hello, your story reminds me very strongly on my own youth, it's hard to realize what happens to some of my old friends, seeing them on the same step like 30 years ago, nothing changed, not willing to change their life for becoming better, some of them look very old, most of them unhappy.
I learned early in my life to make breaks, cut useless "friendships", walk my own path and always look forward positive, the result can be seen now, 30 years later.
Have a great day
Tom
