So how exactly do you stop being friends with someone when you don't want to be their friends? The friends I've lost are always because they move away, which makes it difficult to continue communicating with or hanging out with. I have never told anyone 'I don't want to be your friend anymore' or at least not seriously.
Nor has anyone ever told me that. I think I would be as shocked to hear someone tell me that as they would be shocked to hear that from me.
The only other time one of my friends stopped being my friend was when he first ditched our [we always hung out in our group of 3-4] for seemingly no other reason, and then wouldn't communicate us and explain his actions or even apologize. I would have rather him say 'I found someone else I'd rather hang out with' than have him jerk us around. Heck, we did everything we could to figure out what was going on, but we finally gave up on him [We didn't give up on him, which is what I believe true friends should do, until this occurred several times].
Well, hope it goes well, whatever you decide.
