TL DR: My friend had some bad stuff happening to him recent years (his dad passed away, engagement broken, becoming alchoholic, depression, his close friend getting shot and killed etc.). Recently tried talk to him some sense but came back with irate response and basically left me. Later called me back apologizing. But I feel like I don't want to associate with him anymore. Should I give him another chance?

I have a friend from church. I got to know him because once we talked, we had very similar past. Both he and I lost a dad/mom due to cancer. Additionally, we both had our engagement fail. So initially we were able to share our sad stories and relate to each other.

That was about 2 years ago and I have been through many changes since then thanks to TRP. But sadly this dude is still stuck in depression and basically wasting his life away.

He would call me to meet and hang out. That meeting usually leads to him telling how his life is fucked up. I feel like a therapist listening to his sad stories. I mean he's been through many rough things and some are legit bad but I just don't know really what to say.

I tried several times sharing my red pill thoughts. I talked to him about just living a life focused on himself. Forget about that girl who left him. Forget the past and just live for his own happiness. I also recommended him to go see a therapist. It felt like it helped. He tells me that he is trying to become a priest and he is preparing application to seminaries.

But what was weird was that he didn't share his wrongdoings to me. What I mean is, he has been kept calling, harassing his recent ex-gf (this one is different from failed engagement). I heard about this from his ex-gf, which is a good friend of mine. It really confused me why he would keep trying to see his ex-gf when he wants to be a priest. So I called him out as a hypocrite and told him to stop chasing ex-gf.

For some reason that made him really mad. He almost started getting physical with me. All of sudden he would rant at me saying how he felt I am smirking at him when he was telling me his sob stories. He told me he feels betrayed and promptly left.

I felt sad initially. But at the same time I don't see a reason why I should still see him. He came back in few days calling me, saying he's sorry about last time. I just, wished him well. I don't really feel like seeing him again.

I just need bro advice about this.

Thank you.
