The truth of it is that he and I were only friends due to mutual interests in childhood and we just hung out together over that. As time went on things changed, especially our senses of humour. I can joke with friend #2 over nothing for hours nonstop but I have to constantly think of things to talk about with friend #1.
It's like having a boring gf for years that you didn't like that much, then ditching her for some newer, hotter, way funnier one, and hiding their existences from each other.
Feels bad man.

Also had this, but I lost touch with the boring friend when he went to college. The fun one got into anime tits and literally can't shut up about it, so maybe it's time to cut that one off as well.

From personnal experience, the first friend may last longer than the other one.
It's just as you said, you both changed. Guess what? In the coming ten years, your life will change again. Maybe he'll get married or he'll become a monk. I don't know. Just don't throw the boring friend he is right now because it means losing the good friend he may be in 10 years.
Worst case is: he stays boring but you'll see him once a year because you both will be busy as fuck in 10 years, which is acceptable.

>keep the first, boring friend
This is what I'd do too, but I'm not the best person to give advice like this because I've never had a lifelong friendship with anyone.
>develop an intense emotional connection with someone in a short period of time in a unique situation
>she's the first person to force me to admit I'm not actually a bad person
>say goodbye to her knowing we'll never talk again
>stare at Facebook pictures of her and her daughter solemnly
I'm sure she made much more of a mark on me than I made on her. She's probably forgotten me by now.
>best(only) friend bullies me
>was supposed to be a joke, but it hurt a lot
>talk about it with other "friend"
>other "friend" gets angry at best friend
>wants to have a talk with them tomorrow
>they are very good friends with each other
>feel like I fucked up their friendship
>feels bad
if your entire group of friends consists of 2, you should probably hang on to the lesser 50%.

Having friends is indeed an uncommon thing for me, actually its an unknown feel you fucking normo.
