<human>: I met this guy on a theatreproject a year ago where we got along pretty well, and I bumped into him again a couple weeks ago. We started talking and still got along pretty well. He asked if I wanted to hang out after a while, and I thought it was a good idea so I did. After that we hung out a few more times, we ate together at my place, etc. 

Thing is, I have major depressive disorder and have been depressed on and off for the past six years. Half a year ago when I was getting depressed again I decided I should go into therapy, which I did. 3 weeks ago I took the next step and decided that I should try medication, and I really want to get my life together and work with my therapist to change my behavioral patterns I developed from years of being depressed in a crucial time of my development, and I think I'm starting to do better.

Now this guy, even though he is smart and easy to talk to for me, he is unemployed, really overweight, has a little bit of a victim-complex, not motivated at all and only whines about not being able to find a job while not really doing anything about it. And I mean, the fact that he weights 140 kilo's doesn't exactly scream self-control, determination and motivation either.

I recognize a lot of myself in him because I have a lot of those same characteristics, but as I said, I am working hard to leave exactly those things behind me, and I feel like inviting this guy into my life will interfere with my process of breaking destructive patterns. So I thought I'd just nip this developing friendship in the bud before there are bigger things at stake.

What do you think? Am I doing the right thing here? I really hate letting people down but I really think he's going to hold back my progress.

Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: thinking of ending budding friendship with a guy who is stuck in the same depressed, destructive behavioral patterns I am trying to leave behind because I feel like it interferes with my process.
