I have done it to one friend, and one friend only. Someone who was my best friend for 10 years. She was changing into a person i didn't know how to be around anymore. It wasn't overnight, it was gradual and was one of the hardest things to do. i didnt know how to tell them i started hating who they were becoming. I think about her a lot to this day, and regret how i went about it. But I'm happier in the end and didnt think she deserved to hear negative things about her.

I mean at the end of the day, I would think it was better to communicate your grievances than just pull away from someone you know? She was probably very hurt that someone who loved her for 10 years just suddenly…didn’t. But friendships require two way effort, if she was changing into someone you didn’t like and you brought it up with her but she still continued to change, then, we’ll. Obviously she wSnt putting in the effort for you. Really, People are shit, and that includes us most days. 😔 but we also learn and grow from our mistakes and at the end.

I’m sorry you had this experience, anon. 😔 a friendship break up is hard
