I have a couple I've kept going just because they were close in the past and still reach out to me, but sometimes they say some really stupid things that make it clear they don't know me at all anymore. Sometimes it feels like there's no point to it.

It completely depends on whether the friendship can adapt/evolve. Since it seems there is not enough there otherwise, like shared activities/interests.

The answer to your question is: who cares?
As a guy you never have to officially "break" a friendship, you just sorta stop hanging out with them.

You just walk up to them and say, "I break with thee. I break with thee. I break with thee." and then you throw dog poop on their shoes.

Not fully understood, but a very basic understanding that 5 minutes with fresh eyes would give. Some people just can't evolve.
