best way to end a frirendship

[Flute56]

do you just disappear or have a heart to heart

@Flute56 just let it die out.. I had a similiar experience even when I had told her how I feel she didn't care like she used to.

The only fase mask I like are the ones that dry hard on your face and then you wash it off

I don't think the face mask is an issue, but if the friendship is all one way with you contacting her, then you can probably just stop doing it. If she instigates contact after that, you might find it changes how you feel. If she doesn't, job done.

Flute66 she thought it was a nice treat.

I found the sheet ones odd at first but some of them are really good.

This is all rather strange. You're upset she gave you the wrong type of face mask..? You sound like hard work tbh

😂😂😂 you want to end a friendship, with someone who sounds like they can take it or leave it anyway, over a face mask?

If this is real, just try contacting her less often and see what happens. You don’t sound close anyway, and, in the nicest possible way, your expectations of friendship are unusual. A heart to heart would be very embarrassing.

You sound incredibly sensitive, who gets so uptight about a face mask (those sheet ones are lovely by the way ), just stop being the first one to make contact and see if she contacts you .....

To me it all sounds rather excessive. You seem keen to invest lots of energy and effort thrashing out a non issue when in reality it's just a fading friendship. I would let it go quietly.

What it looks like to me is you are behaving like your mother. She has modelled this straight talking way where she told you what you've done wrong and now you are behaving the same way. What's the point to that in a friendship that is ending?

Depends on what their response to you raising the matter is I think and therefore whether it's worth thrashing it out so that you can both move beyond it.

FWIW I've just ended a friendship after my friend did something that upset me massively. She knew at the time that I was in tears, but dismissed me saying we'd talk later. I then sent her a text setting how she'd made me feel. She deflected with a 'funny' story. I then bumped into her and she continued to deflect / talk about unrelated stuff and tried to act like nothing had happened. But I can't move beyond what she did without talking about it. Therefore our friendship of 12 years is over.

@PurpleDaisies

Very good point 🤣🤣

I find it strange that you would want to sit down and try to thrash it out when it's clear that she has been pulling away for a while. You said that you are always the one to contact her and she is distant in her replies. It seems to me that if you don't contact her again, that will be it anyway. I wouldn't of given a second thought to the face mask and just thought it was nice to receive the card.

Yes and I have other friends who treat me better. I will never contact this friend again

She has become a bit boring to me anyway. We have hardly anything in common anymore so its time to move on

Great update OP, easier and more peaceful to just walk away from this one!
