My cousin is mad at me because I never reach out

I need to get this off my chest. My cousin always makes comments to me that I don’t reach out enough to him. Always saying that he’s the one who has to reach out to make plans, always reaches out to talk.

But the thing is…I DON’T LIKE HIM!!!!! I hate spending time with him. We both like movies and that’s about it. I let him talk at me for hours every time we hang out about stuff I don’t give a shit about. I wish I never had to spend time with him but I feel obligated to because he’s my cousin, his mom is a narcissistic sociopath and his father is an alcoholic who abandoned him and they haven’t spoken in years. No one else in my family speaks to him because he sucks the energy out of the room and is awful to talk to.

I mean idk what to do. It’s hard to breakup a friendship with your cousin mainly because you just find him annoying and it’s a pain in the ass to talk to and hang out with him. Uggghhhh
