I just finished regulating with the new one piece episode and I was messaged again. I feel like I'm going to lose it.

I have a lot on my plate the rest of the month kind of, and this guy I barely talk to anymore messages me asking if I can register a Mercari account for him because he wants to do international business and that I'm his "only choice" for international business. He's in China, I'm in the USA.

I don't even know his real name, nor does he know mine either. We barely know each other, and he's ghosted me on a regular basis but has texted me only a handful of times on his own since 2022 or so. Even then, we went a year without talking and I was the one to message him. The most recent times he's messaged me first is because he was seeking help with a game registration and if I knew how to do it or whatever, which I didn't, and now this.

I'm tired and I'm hurt that he even has the gall to ask this of me. I'm up to my eyeballs in stress that didn't even hit me until he asked.

I don't care if it's just registering a number, I don't want to. I don't want to bother with doing whatever the fuck just so he can make some sort of stupid second hand internation business on Mercari. I also don't want to get into any sort of potential trouble because of him and I feel like if I did, I would. I'm not risking my ass for him.

I've already responded to his first message, which was him asking if I could do him a favor and if I've used Mercari. I told him that I hadn't and that I doubt I could be of any use to him, nothing past that.

Now he's messaged me a few times going "perfect" "could you register an account?" "I want to do international business but can't because i don't have a US phone number" and calling me by my old minecraft undername and saying i'm his only choice.

I don't care if I'm his only choice but what am i even meant to say? I have no intention of holding onto this "friendship" anymore because it hasn't been there since I contacted him again after we "rekindled" our friendship, so that's whatever to me.

I'm just tired and I also just feel so incredibly lonely right now with everything else that's going on. This isn't helping. I don't know how to respond. Help.

There are moments where I spiral, or feel like I need comfort, something to just fill the silence, something to fall asleep to, distract me, background noise or something thats just familiar, but I haven't really had anything like that since I watched spongebob and some other shows/movies pre-covid lockdown.

I have games I replay and those usually end up being what I watch youtubers replay, and I rarely get tired of it. FNAF, Lies of P, Final Fantasy XV... So on so forth, all by different YouTubers.

I genuinely don't know what to do or where I would even start with something like this? This might be a stupid question but genuinely I need advice 😅 I really need something, especially these days.
