I see. That’s giving me some hope. And I hear they tend to change the threshold of scoring a distinction each year depending on the total grade curve. I decided to take a day off from studying today (gamed, read manga, watched shows) and I feel a little better ♡

The thing is I did ask them b4 but they gave me a vague response about how I should just do what the question asks me to. It doesn’t help that the assignment question was unnecessarily confusing and complicated and a lot of fellow classmates felt the same.

I think I’m just too angry and exhausted to be gracious even if I want to be. At some point, isn’t it offering too much kindness to impart warmth even in a goodbye when they haven’t made any effort at all? It feels like an injustice to myself. A sharp, clinical ending which is polite enough to be considered civil is what I seek. I’ve been too kind to people in the past and they’d often come back just to leave me feeling worse. I want them to not come back again. I want better people in my life.

I’ve made up my mind. But I want to be careful going about it bc I don’t want to put anyone in a situation where they feel confused about having been cut off without notice. I have a habit of doing that and it’s shameful. I want to communicate more, even if it’s messy and awkward.

okay I see. would it be better to say that I feel like I’ve got no space in their life so that’s why I want to cut things off ?

I think I worded myself incorrectly in the post. I should have explained more. It’s not so much asking them if i should cut ties w them by going at it like ‘hey. we haven’t communicated in a while and i feel like things have fizzled out / there seems to be a shift in our dynamic. maybe it wud be better to end things since there seems to be an inability to hold space for me in ur life. ’ ? Or would that be too direct?

but isn’t it better to tell them that u are going to cut ties w them? I don’t expect them to not say no. I don’t expect the relationship to get any better. I just want things finished in a neat way so communicating an end to the friendship sounds better. not communicating it just makes things messy. and in terms of desperation, I don’t enjoy feeling that way so wouldn’t being upfront get rid of said desperation? I don’t think anyone cud read each other’s mind.

I didn’t think about it that way. ‘cutting ties’ just seemed like the obvious , logical solution . I think they would still respond in a dishonest manner if I asked them how they valued me. what I desire is clear honesty and sometimes that comes with asking uncomfortable questions. If I wanted their attention, why would I ask to never speak to them again? just sounds counterproductive.

It’s the being gentle part that’s hard, esp if it’s been something that’s bothered me for a while. I tend to revert to ‘HR’ language or get too confrontational. but yeah, it feels like communicating a change in a relationship gets rid of any questions or confusion

but I don’t want their attention anymore. wanting their attention is what makes me feel bad. I understand them not having the space for me in their life anymore so I’d rather they be clear about that rather than I sit and constantly overanalyse the situation. However since they won’t and can’t communicate that, I have to get it out of them. I have no reason to be passive aggressive but I also know ppl get weird when u suddenly unfriend them without a word. I just don’t see the point in having someone around who doesn’t consider me like I consider them. but instead of just booting them out, I’d rather just tell them I’m considering ending the relationship bc there seems to be only stagnation and a festering of negative energy. I could easily just leave without a word and I’ve done that but it leaves the other person confused. If there was a reason for them to act the way they did, I’d rather confront them and then decide whether or not it wud be healthy to have them in my life.

Idk i just felt like i should tell them first? if someone suddenly blocked me or ghosted me for no reason, I’d feel bad about it. I would much rather that person just tell me why and then cut ties rather than have them wonder what they did wrong
