In her defense, she'd initiate hanging out, but when we were together, she was always SO NEGATIVE, about school, work, friends, boys...I always said she was like a dementor from Harry Potter - she'd suck out your soul and make you feel like you'd never be happy again. I was thankful when I had to move, because I was able to physically shut her out of my life. No more running into her, no more awkward mutual friend get-togethers where I'd have to see her, no more making excuses why I couldn't hang out, nothing like that. It's been really freeing to not have to worry about her being in my life anymore, because I've been slowly shutting her out for over a year (not answering texts, not initiating conversations, etc). So as a long answer to your short question, I kept her around because it was awkward not to (she was friends with my then-boyfriend, and we continued to be "friends" after he and I broke up), but the "friendship" was so taxing on me and my psyche that I finally had to let it go. Since it seems like your friendship is doing you more harm than good, if I were giving advice, I'd say cut your losses and find some better friends. :)Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10142945920749941250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-237332773322497635.post-76283017094079694012010-02-14T12:20:45.452-04:002010-02-14T12:20:45.452-04:00Girl, this is tough!

This is a toxic friendship, and you know you deserve better from a friend. You don't need to put up with that. I'm mean, so when I dump a friend I just go cold turkey - no answering their calls or texts or e-mails, nothing. She knows she is treating you like shit, so she won't be surprised when you ditch her. If you don't ditch her, at least call her out on her rude behavior, and let her know how it makes you feel. BIG HUGS!financecupcakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03781586611582887524noreply@blogger.com
