I'm going to be brutally honest. I ghosted them they were just too much. They sent me a Christmas gift card saying," thanks for being a great friend" to one of my favorite stores but he was draining as all get out and a simp at that so I've accepted the gift and ghosted. He was always whining about his disrespectful girlfriend and asking for advice. He's such a doormat, weak, and she doesn't respect him, so he was just off putting, and I began to see him as less than a man. It's so bad that I'm wondering if he's trans lol š. I've never met a man who was so pathetic and weak.
I told them directly they were too much
We got into a fight the friendship ended
I ghosted them

Have you ever stopped being friends or stopped talking to an associate because they were draining? How did you go about cutting them off?
Yes , just ignore them as much as possible and hopefully they get the hint to leave you alone. Some people can just give you the ick or rub ya the wrong way , or they just come off as being weird or odd to you. You donāt have to be rude or disrespectful to them , unless they donāt take No for an answer , then you might have to be rude just so they get the hint to back off. Just donāt give them to much of your time , if they try to talk to you , Just say oh yea thatās great or Iām sorry to hear that , but Iām sorry I canāt t t talk right now , I got to much other things going on right now and walk the other way. . You donāt have to explain yourself to them , just donāt give them your full attention. If they do not get the hint to leave ya alone , then you can come off as being rude by telling them , I told you I was busy , is your ears clogged? I canāt talk right now , Iām sorry you are having problems with your girlfriend, dump her if you are that unhappy with her , go speak to a therapist instead , I have my own issues to worry about , Sorry.
Yeah actually i used to be friends with this girl who ended up disrespecting me over a personal opinion of mine, this was summer of 2022. I ended the friendship and you know what she started doing? Harassing me using texting app numbers to call and text me. Also calling me on no caller ID. Went on and off all of 2023. Then she found a new victim and moved on from me, to her and that person reached out to me summer 2023. ANYWAY, I've been in a situationship with a guy I've known since 2017. Now they are hanging out🤣🤣🤣🤣 how messed up is that? And i went off on him about a month ago and cut him off because i found out and she started blowing up my shit again. Crazy ass people these days. I have already called police on her a few times.
Yes, I have had two of them but one is way worse than the other. I lent her money when she was desperate, paid for her food first (she took months to pay me back), invited her to my place to have lunch when she told me she didnāt have money to eat, became her free therapist. I also made all the plans for our outing when she was the one who wanted to go out. Ended up she mistreated me like crazy no matter what I did. I tried to be kind knowing that her life is miserable enough but nothing worked. She abused everything to the point where she tried to one up me using her other friends just to put me in my place, making me feel like I aināt all that. She pointed my flaws whenever she had a chance and never once apologised. I cut her off after 1.5 years and when she called me asking for a closure, her question was āDid I do anything wrong to you?ā 🫠
Yeah , Iāve cut people out of my life like that ā¦ Hell Iāve cut family out of my life in similar ways Generally because its because it was completely one sided , always about them or they were sucking the joy out of my life every time I had to deal with either their self deprecating humor or their woe is me attitude or even their oh look at me Iām so great my life is perfect bullshit. It never fails to amaze me just how self centered and conceited or even delusional some folk can be.
I generally fire a few warning shots or attempt to hold a mirror to them , to make them realize that they need to change , as thatās what I would want if the situation reversed , but thatās rarely worked.
Yes, but I wouldn't just ghost a long term friend. I'm pretty much a homebody and don't like going out, but my friend did. One night she invited me to a party, and I agreed for a change. Fast forward, she left with a guy to have sex and I was stuck at a party without knowing anyone else. The next day I texted her saying how I felt about the situation, that I felt we grew apart too much, and had decided it was better for us both to stop seeing each other.
Yeah that person was not a friend. Just cause you have known them for a long time it doesn't make them a friend. To leave someone at a party like that who already doesn't go out yet made an effort to do it for a "friend" is foul.
Yes. I had a friend who constantly slept around and then wondered why the boys (in college) didn't want more with her. She started to negatively affect my own depression so I sent her a message listing that to me, she was creating her own problems and I couldn't keep her friendship without setting boundaries for myself. I left the options open to her and we just drifted apart. (so not work related )
Ghosting someone is what cowards do but if someone canāt respect boundaries yes I cut them off and am very blunt when doing so. The only time I would ghost someone is if Iāve asked them to leave me alone and they refuse.
When I was younger I would ghost usually. 30s and up I would just tell them straight up what was going to happen if they kept it up or that we're done.
Adults know what they're doing. In my eyes they deserve no explanation. If they were a kid their level of understanding is different so explanations are needed for learning purposes
Thatās harsh. Girls arenāt the weaker gender. That being said, if being friends was that draining on you, you did the right thing ending the friendship, though you shouldāve told him why instead of ghosting him.
And wtf are u talking about did u even read? Where does it say " girls are the weaker gender"? You're not a girl you're a grown ass woman. Grow tf up comment deleted. Learn to read
