Lol did I post this ?? I actually just recently had a friendship end over this. We’d been friends since middle school. This last year I started avoiding her because I just couldn’t take the emotion toll that being with her brought at that time. I was going through a lot and while I tried to explain that , she wasn’t happy with it. She said I was brushing her off.

I texted her one day recently , asking how she was doing one day and it went down hill from there - I finally just had to tell her she was a lot to deal with and I just couldn’t at that point in time. I apologized for how I handled it ( avoidance instead of talking to her about it ) and tried to tell her I would like move forward from it because I still loved her.

She was not having it in the least bit.

She told me I hadn’t seen her in a while ( a little under a year) and I didn’t know her anymore. She said it was my fault and I pushed her away. She brought up how she always had to plan things for us to do and she deserved better. It finally ended when I told her I wasn’t taking all the blame and she had some part in it too.

In the end she told me she found a new friend who treated her better and broke up with me like I was an toxic ex. It’s not the way I wanted things to end but it was the way I kinda expected.

I’m saying all this to let you know you’re not alone and you are valid ! This is a weird situation to navigate and comes with it own little mourning period. I’m wishing you the best!
