Hi,I just want to know if AIBU to ghost my friend.Well former best friend.We was such good friends for years and over this last year have drifted so much I wouldn’t even call her a friend now.I also find I have no patience for her and seem to find myself getting secretly annoyed at her.Im not liking who she is changing into.She was the sweetest woman.Kind hearted.She has changed so much,selfish,money grabbing,un trusting.A woman who I no longer recognise.Its a very long story but I have found out a few things.I miss her and was extremely sad at first I felt like I had lost a sister but I just feel sad that she has changed into someone I don’t really like or know now.How someone so close in a year could now be someone who I wouldn’t even call a friend now.Aibu to ghost her ?

I think the mature adult thing would be to write her an email at least. Express your sorrow that your lives have taken different paths and wishing her the best for her future.

Don’t accuse her or give a list of grievances, even though you might feel like it. This isn’t about trying to resolve things (is it??), but just knowing down the track that you ended things in a straightforward, grown up way. It’s a good exercise for your development. You can choose to block her or read any response that might arrive.

Don’t do it with drama, but do it right. Make yourself proud.

Have you been honest and said all this to her? Maybe there’s things happening you don’t know

What would ghosting someone say about you and your character?

You’ve done a good job of listing her character flaws but not so good at examining your own, if you think that ghosting someone is a mature response.
