So there's a toxic friend of mine with whom every interaction feels exhausting whenever his call comes I feel anxious idk why,he constantly makes fun of me to make himself look bigger he talks behind every friend's back and I'm pretty sure he does the same for me

So I have planned to cut all ties with him but sometimes I feel hesitant to do it just because I'm afraid he will turn the whole friend group against me and I would end up being lonely, have any of you guys experienced the same? Please help me with this situation I'm preparing for exams and with all this in my mind,I can't seem to concentrate
