Should I tolerate someone just because they are "real" ?

Would you put up with someone even when you're not genuinely interested just because they are a great person ? I find this guy death boring, but he tells me I should allow him in my personal space because he is the kind of person who will be there when I need someone. I've always wanted real friends. What do I do ?

I used too, but not anymore. If I'm not true to myself I am certainly not being truthful with the other person. I've done a major rehaul on my life and slowly distanced myself from people that I didn't feel a connection with or that I outgrew. Things started feeling stagnant so I deleted numbers, my facebook and started focusing on my faith and the things that align with me. I didn't block any of them, but I also didn't feel the need to keep their numbers. Most of them were conditional friendships that only called when they wanted validation, money or rides. So, I slowly faded them out. I have no hard feelings towards them, but I realized in order for me to grow I had to make new connections with people that aligned with my core values. I learned what I don't want in my life. It was hard and lonely but I am starting to feel better. I can't tell you what to do, but hopefully my experience can be of help to you.
