What’s the reason you have/would cut a friend off?

Multiple reasons:
Our paths drifting apart, my trust broken, finding out their true personality, backstabbing, negative energy/behaviour, causing drama or talking shit behind peoples back.

Three examples from my life:
- A friend I knew for almost a year, turned out to be a pedophile and also dating with a 14 year old girl while being 21M himself. he got caught with screenshots sexxting with her. Lied to us about breaking up with her and started sexxting with other underage's (14-15F) on social media. When we found out again, he threatened about unaliving himself (and once said also unaliving the girl) if we would do anything against it or report him to authorities. Luckilly words spread fast because others found out as well and now everyone in our online community (and some big discord servers) know about him. He clearly noticed the effects of it because almost no one wanted to see him again. But decided to harrass us sometimes using fake-accounts and blame us for his pedo-behaviour + the effects of it. Both girls later broke up with him, but we found out he already has another (underage-) girl with mental disability.
- Old friend who is homosexual and had feelings for me. He kept doubletexting me (or spam with emoijs when i dont reply fast enough) and asking to hangout. He wanted on a date with me, but hid it as just hanging out. Had a topic about this so I keep it short. I refused, later ignored him, he spammed me on other platforms and even called me sometimes. I blocked him. Some months later he went in a victim mentality and caused drama with others in friendgroup to selfsabotage himself. Even using people to stalk us when we were done with his bullshit.
- Another friend was from highschool. We knew eachother since kindergarten. After exams we both went our separate ways. He cut contact with me, but 1 year ago (this is after 6 years) he tried reaching out again. I found out he still had no body-Hygiëne and was very childish while I grew up and matured (the hard way sadly). For some kind of reason that never bothered me before. But now I felt disgusted and decided to cut contact + blocked him. Never spoke him again after it.

Betrayal, sabotage, public embarrassment... if I figure out that someone is undermining me, or even just generally jeopardizing my wellbeing, they're pretty much just gone, at this point. I've lost my forgiving attitude because so many people who do stuff like this just keep doing it.

There was a time when I was waaaaaaaay too understanding when people would do dumb little "pranks" and "jokes" that either screwed me over or were just generally extremely hurtful. Really, extremely over the line stuff that you couldn't believe anyone would seriously think it was okay to do to a friend.

My dad had sort taught me this approach of being extremely tolerant, assuming that the person just doesn't know any better, sort of protecting them from themselves, but then also limiting the amount of exposure you have to make sure they don't do too much damage.

Well, what I realized one day is that my dad gets played for a chump all the time and that he's getting dunked on constantly. So now, I just walk away. One shot and you're done. I wish I could be more tolerant, but people have shown me that I can't afford to assume best intentions. Even if they do have the best of intentions, someone who thinks it's okay to behave so thoughtless in one situation is going to think it's okay to behave thoughtless in another.

I cut off a friend who bullied my little brother a couple years ago. She came in the yard and just dragged him by his hair. I heard him screaming when I went out I saw her dragging him across the yard. I showed her how it feels to be dragged by your hair! One thing I will never tolerate from anyone is bullying my little brother or sister. I told her if you want to bully someone bully me not my 8 year old brother. I can't stand cowards

There are many for """friends""" but it's always a calculation of benefits and disadvantages. On the other hand I would never cut off real friend, they are too rare and too precious.
