high maintenance friend 

A friend who requires more maintenance than their contribution to your life is worth.
Matt was always expecting Christina to make him new clothes, remind him of important dates, and schedule her life around his. He very rarely kept appointments they had to get together, and never accepted invitations that she initiated to get together. Things were always on his terms, and in his way, and eventually Christina stopped trying to maintain the friendship, because Matt was way too much of a high maintenance friend.

High-maintenance friend

A high-maintenance friend is someone who needs intense, consistent time, emotional energy, and attention often. They frequently require constant reassurance, emotional support, and a safe space to be clingy. They need validation, immediate responsiveness, and priority status in your schedule. These people are not for those who cannot keep up, or give them that emotional contribution.
