A bad "friend" will drag you down and destroy you. If your only contact is through social media, it is time to severe the ties. You can unfriend them, or block them. I think there is also an ignore. Good luck!

I would recommend that you find a new place to make friends. Obviously your survival class would be a good place, as well as maybe your wife/girlfriend's place of business. And, there is always church. The majority of my friends come from church. I also met my wife there.
