To think my friend is being Goady and to tell her to jog on

Old friend of over 20 years. Have felt for a while that’s it’s one way traffic from me to stay in touch but recently I have felt like she was taking the piss out of me.
We arranged to go away & she cancelled as said she was too stressed & then it’s all over social media that she’s been away with others & it’s just me she doesn’t want to see. There have been loads of other instances like this and now I feel a fool for investing energy in this friendship for so long. It’s like she is sending me a massive fuck you via social media.
I have had enough and, out of self respect, have decided to remove her from my life.
But I feel upset and a fool that I didn’t see it earlier.
Aibu to feel foolish and upset? It’s hard to end long term friendships but I feel really hurt by it all

You're not foolish you're a nice person who makes an effort with your friends and thinks the best of them. It does sound like she isn't worth your investment though so yes sack her off. I wouldn't be dramatic about it. Just don't contact her, don't arrange or agree to meet with her, hide her off social media and invest your time and energy elsewhere.

'We arranged to go away & she cancelled as said she was too stressed & then it’s all over social media that she’s been away with others'

So she knows you will have seen this and she lied?

She deserves zero explanations of your decision.

Awful

@user I am going to be discreet as don’t want a row- but I am very upset - I just don’t want conflict!

I know exactly how you feel. But sometimes letting go is really good.
My so called BF dumped me, because I didn't approve of her bad behaviour (regarding her shagging a married man)
It didn't take me long to realise that she treated me and everyone else like shit.
I hadn't realised there was so much one way traffic, but there was. Every thing was always about her.
Good luck x

Just block her, easy.

Ditch her. I had a ‘friend’ like this. He once got very stroppy with me for even daring to invite him out because his mother was seriously ill - well yes, she was, but she’d also been seriously ill the previous evening when he was sharing pics of himself out clubbing until the early hours. He had a habit of getting very drunk on Friday nights when he was due to see me on Saturday, before developing a ‘cold’ the next day and cancelling - before throwing a hissy fit when I wouldn’t change my Sunday plans to see him. Funnily enough, I don’t see him at all now.
