Okay. So last semester, I met this boy in one of my classes; I'll call him "Josh". He is obnoxious and irritating and always high or drunk or a mixture of both. Somehow, we started hanging out, but then he got into alternate education for some reason or another, and I reconsidered what I was doing. Now he's back at school and in a class of mine this semester, and he won't leave me alone. I feel bad for avoiding and ignoring him, because there's really no logical reason for me to be so against him all of the sudden, but I just don't want to be around him. Plus, my friends act like he "likes" me, which only makes the situation worse.
How do I get him to leave me alone without hurting his feelings?
