Is it normal to feel like i deserve better a friend

I've been friends with someone for 11 years. We met through a mutual friend, and ended up being friends because we liked similar things. But something about our friendship doesn't sit right with me. Its like this person always tries to be dominant/superior all the time. In conversations he'll always try to be opposite. If we disagree about something, but I later come to a conclusion that maybe he's were right, he'll say I'm wrong as if weeks ago it wasn't his opinion. And then I feel I was right to begin with, but only tried to agree with his first opinion to be open-minded. He also is a bit of a bully. I don't know if this is a tactic to threaten me through joking, but he always tries to intimidate me as if he'd kick my ass if I don't respect him, just so I can know that he's in charge. And he'll tower over me, considering I'm not that tall. Its like he sees me as a child or weak. Yet, I excel more than him at our two main hobbies. And they HARDLY ever support my dreams. I hate it. They're 60% asshole.

    You definitely deserve a better friend than that

    You forgot to tell us about the most important part; does he have your back? Can he be relied upon? Or would he turn tail and run a the first sign of trouble or difficulty? Real friends truly care about each other.
    I'm kind of a loner, I only have two or three really good, trustworthy friends, but I'd take them over 50 so-so friends any day.

      Idk. He's not stingy or anything. We take turns paying when we go out. We talk about stuff but I feel like I can't talk to him about everything. Seems like he's open to what he wants to be open to, or supportive of what he wants to be supportive. Hes not the worst friend but I feel theres major things he lacks. I see others and they are very open with their friends, and don't have to hide half of themselves. I feel like I'm myself but not fully.

    It sounds like you are a child and weak.

    If you don't want to be friends with someone.... don't. It's how adults handle things.

        Clearly reading comprehension isn't one of your stronger traits. If flyingnostalgia feels the same way it wouldn't surprise me, you come across like a child. Children whine about their problems, adults do something about them. I've met plenty of 40 year old children, so it's certainly not connected to age, it's more of a mental maturity. Now when you give your foot stamping, tantrum response you'll confirm everything I just wrote.

        Or conversely, you could attempt (though we'll probably see through it) to behave more maturely, which would also serve to prove my point.

        So have at it, Sunshine, let's see what you've got. I know you won't be able to resist responding, children never can. talk to you soon. :)
