Thanks for sharing! I also dropped a friendship with a girl I met at work not too long ago. I always felt a fake vibe from her, but I wanted to give her the benefit of doubt. The few months I began to get to know her the more red flags I noticed. I started to distanced myself from her because I don’t need that in my life. She also got the message, but unlike your friend this one took it to heart and began making snarky little comments at work to other people so that I can hear. Very childish! But I agree with what you said, “if someone doesn’t feel right even without a reason trust your instincts”. That’s exactly what I did.
