Andy,
you are either a friend to a person or not. choose once. otherwise it sucks when someone is friendly with you only if you 'behave'. When i see someone dear to me to go through an episode, I feel compassion. You seem to feel rejection, or disgust.
lucky for us there are several friendship styles/levels to choose from. whatever you like, just be consistent. would it be easier for you to start seeing such people as acquaintances, instead of 'friends'? this way you won't have to characterize yourself as obnoxious/judgmental either.
