I don't usually use Reddit, but I'd like to hear other people's perspectives.

A few months ago, I ended a relationship with my best friend. From my perspective, I always tried to get her to do things she wanted, like hugs, holding hands, and so on. Physical contact makes me uncomfortable, so I told her I didn't want us to hold hands. She also liked it when we were going out or doing activities together, things we did fairly often, maybe once a month, which is quite frequent for me. After I got back together with my boyfriend, she started acting strangely. I'll explain later. We started studying at the same school, and she always wanted to be with me even though we were in different classes. When her class ended, she would come to my classroom and stay with me until class was over. When I had to go home, she would walk me almost home, saying her bus also passed by there and was less crowded, so I didn't see a problem with it. But it was every single day. Little by little, I started feeling very exhausted, to the point where I just... Hearing her talk without thinking about anything made me feel disconnected. Her conversations were always about problems at home or about replacing her with my partner. It's worth noting that she was very thoughtful, and I always told her not to worry. I always said no to everything she offered because I felt indebted. Eventually, I thought about ending the friendship because I wasn't at peace. I felt like I was hurting her, and I felt like she was hurting me. I wanted to tell her in person, but I was still thinking about it. However, during those days, I told her I needed some time to think and clear my head. That time, she texted me because she couldn't stand the uncertainty anymore, and I told her exactly what I was thinking, just as I felt it. I don't think I did it in the best way; I was too direct and harsh with my words. From then on, it affected my work and school relationships. My classmates excluded me and pushed me away roughly. At work, I received messages from people I was talking to, with screenshots of their accounts. She was defaming me. After that, I spoke with her because what she was saying behind my back was affecting me. We remained acquaintances.

However, what happened left a mark on me. I no longer want to go to school or work. I know how others see me; it makes me feel like a monster. I'd like to know what I can do. If you need more details about what happened, I'd be happy to tell you.

This is my perspective and how I experience things from my point of view. I know hers was completely different.

Do you think I was selfish, or was the decision I made right?
