I have a friend I frequently hang out with, and he never wants to do anything but what he wants to do, which is sit and play video games while he expects me to watch, and we can't even have a decent conversation because he's too focused on the game to even listen to me half of the time and I have to repeat myself several times. He even acts annoyed at my existence sometimes, yet gets extremely worried that I don't like him if I go a couple of weeks without hanging out with him.
The only other thing he ever wants to do is go to stores that carry video games and look at video games. His entire life revolves around video games.
I am getting sick of us never getting to do anything together and essentially spending all of my time watching a video game. I told him I'd like to try some different things, but he just poo-poos all of my ideas. I then flat out told him that I don't want to just sit and watch him play video games, and his response was that watching video games is fun. Sorry, not for me it isn't when that's the only thing we ever do.
I don't want to be an ass and I don't have any problem with him playing video games, but why can't we enjoy quality time together as friends? He has all of the time in the world to play games outside of the time we hang out, and I have always been taught that it's extremely rude to ignore people, especially guests, for TV, devices, video games, etc. I feel like he doesn't even care if I'm having fun or not, it is all about him.
