Don’t know what to think or say
So to give a long story short, I have a friend that I have had for decades and anytime that you’re excited about something and tell them like you would your friends they give you the exact opposite reaction and either get upset, angry or act like it should’ve been them in your shoes whatever it is that you’re excited about or have done.
I don’t know what to do or what to talk about because them being a close friend. I want to share things about my life with them that I’m happy about, but it seems every time that I do it causes a problem internally within them that they then complain and get angry about with me that causes a fight.
They basically want everything in this world that has to offer and get incredibly annoyed when things don’t work out their way at the drop of a hat, but when other people that he knows are enjoying life as he would, he gets super jealous and angry. Is that just a bad friend

If they can't feel pride or empathy for you, they're not really a good friend.

This person is a drag. Just because you have known them for decades does not mean you need to continue knowing them. They are angry and act ugly. Life is too short to pit up with downer jerks.

Yes, that's a bad friend.
