Distanced myself from a friend over the last year or so, as there were a few instances she seemed quite spiteful and nasty towards me for no apparent reason.
I was happy with the reduced contact and occasional catch ups, and happy to have continued that and (Possibly) gradually phased out the friendship. However, she’s becoming overbearing and I’m not sure how to handle it.
She keeps asking really intrusive questions to me via text, even when I openly state I don’t feel comfortable discussing whatever it is with her, she rambles on, giving her (unwanted) views / advice on how to improve my life.. for what it’s worth, I’m actually fine and happy! But she seems intent on putting me down - and sent me messages saying she’d help me ‘get out of the rut’ I am in confused no idea why she decided I’m in a rut - even if I was, she’s the last person I’d open up to!
For example - I moved out from my parents house several years ago, but she has suddenly started ‘popping in’ to see them confused they never had a friendship bedsides hello and goodbye when she’d visited me while I lived there. They are as confused as I am, but are also very polite. Both retired, so at home most of the time, which she knows.
I’m not sure how to handle it - it all feels a bit odd!
