To be fed up of suffocating friend?!

I’d class her as a new friend as we’ve known each other around 18 months. I’ve had enough for the friendship now. Two examples of her suffocating behaviour

I didn’t answer her call once as I was busy. I then went on a long holiday with my family the next day and she knew this. Yet she still sent me a message saying that I needed to call her - when it was just a general chat she wanted!

I went out with a mutual friend and someone she doesn’t know for drinks and she went on about how she wasn’t invited for TWO months.

Aibu to just drift away from this person? I genuinely feel like the way she carries on it’s like a relationship with a needy man. I’d do a lot for my friends but I feel she needs more than I can give her.

It sounds like she wants more from this relationship that you are prepared to give OP, so I think I would just let it go and put it down to experience.

Yeah I’d drift away she sounds a bit too intense. I hate friends that want to call me….I don’t really do talking on the phone unless it’s family, partners or a couple of best friends!

Yes break away

she will soon latch on to someone else

Drift away. As adults, we can pick our own friends. If you don't gel for whatever reason, then no point trying to maintain it.

I have had to let go someone recently for similar reason. We are grown ups and don't have to invite everyone to everything.
