Is it normal that i am starting to dislike my best friend?

I have been best friends with this girl in my class for four years now. We are known for always hanging around together. But recently I have just been really silently frustrated at her. She has taken me away from every other friend that I have. So now it is just me and her most of the time. It's miserable to constantly hang out with her because she is not funny at all, I literally can't remember the last time she made me laugh. She thinks she's hilarious, but it just makes me cringe because nobody else finds her funny. Any time I try to form friendships with other people, she is always there, and she is a really awkward person so I can never make new friends. She has about five things that she talks about. She never talks about anything else and will often exactly repeat sentences. I am so bored and I need to laugh again. She is also really lazy and unmotivated. She never works hard and I can't stand that in a person. I never normally say things like this but it's getting to the point where I just want to escape the friendship and find other people. The only problem is, she has destroyed any possible connections I could have with other people. So I'm stuck, and it's getting frustrating. So is this normal, that I don't like the one person I'm constantly with? Please let me know in a comment if you have any ideas about what I could do about this situation, because I'm starting to think I'm wasting my teen years by being bored and never laughing.

    Obviously you can't stand her, so you're not friends, but who's had a gun at your head to keep you hanging around with her anyway? You've let her alienate you from other people, stop all the blame on her (especially as she sounds as if she has problems of her own) and take some responsibility for this situation you've allowed to go on.

    What's the problem with just telling her you want to spend time with other people as well as her? And then doing it? If she doesn't fit in there's nothing you can do about it.

    Ask her if you can go down on her...

    Tell her you need some space? Yeah, that's a drag, man.
