I had an online fandom friend who turned out to have Borderline Personality Disorder. That shit went bad in a hurry. It ended with me saying, "I want to be your friend, but I'm not okay with you blaming me for your emotions," and her saying "How dare you say that to me. I can barely breath I'm so furious right now. Fuck you for doing this to me." So...pretty much exactly what you'd expect from a relationship with someone who has BPD.

I have/had a guy friend who only wants to be friends completely on his terms. To him, friendship is being able to show up at a person's house about twice a year, completely unexpectedly, hang out for however long he feels like, and then take off. I could never text him and be like "Hey, I've got some free time this weekend, you wanna hang out?" If I text him or call him, he doesn't reply for weeks. And it's not just me, he's like this with almost everyone. When I was twenty, I didn't really mind. But I'm nearing thirty, now, and that shit's not my idea of friendship anymore.

Honestly, if someone was BPD and not getting help for it, I'd drop that friendship like a hot potato. It's just not worth it.

As for your guy friend... draw yourself some firm boundaries and stick with them. You're describing him quite diplomatically, but essentially, he's a selfish dick. When he wants company, he expects you to be there, but when you want company he ghosts you without a single qualm. That's a dick move.
