Why are toxic people so shocked when you end the friendship?

[red324]

You finally tell them to go take a hike and its like a total surprise to them. Its like fldude im tired of your bullshit you've been doing for years, its time to move onto someone else. Then they want some big explanation and bla bla bla. Damn narcissists.

I told my friend to fuck off and quit calling and then he blows my phone up and wants to talk on the phone even though I just texted all my reasons out to him. We talk on the phone and he's like you want to see a movie? Doesn't even mention the issues I discussed. What is that? A psychopath or a narcissist?

Then when I mention what I texted he gets mad

Because most people don't see themselves as toxic. I mean, I'm not sure if you know this, but most people that are crazy are unaware that they are crazy themselves.

They know exactly the difference between right and wrong

I just decided to block him. He's always mad at me and won't say why, then out of nowhere he calls me up and acts like nothing happened even though I haven't heard a peep for 4 months

the difference between right and wrong doesn't have the same thought process as toxic. Like my dad believes he is a great person but he his toxic af. there are many people that believe they are right, and know right and wrong but are still toxic. Also, being toxic is subjective on a sliding scale from person to person.

They are surprised for the reason you said. You put up with it for years. They can’t comprehend you have limits. They assume you’ll take it forever.

It has been forever. I draw the line when they no longer want to hang out anymore, but still call and text. They become an annoying bathroom fly at that point. Never go away
