About a year ago, I moved back to my home town after uni and working away in another city for a while. During this time, my old school friend and I would message once a month and maybe see each other a couple of times a year.
Since moving back to the town we grew up in she messages every weekend to make plans to visit my flat or go out for coffee/lunch. She is an old friend but I feel we have over the years drifted away and no longer have very much in common. I don't enjoy hanging out with her and see it as a chore. Over the last couple of months I have tried to distance myself and will make up excuses as to why I am unavailable. She hasn't got the message and continues to message me to arrange plans.
I do not enjoy her company, find her overbearing and don't want to see her more than a few times a year at most. I feel like she has wanted to hang out more over the past year as now that I live closer it's convenient for her. Whilst living away she never visited, not at uni and not after I graduated. Could anyone offer any advice on how I can minimise contact without being harsh and hurting her feelings?
