Not got numbers of three past friends as don't enjoy their company anymore.
I haven't blocked but don't know their numbers now as cba anymore.
Anyone else ever did this?
I am not in a happy place at mo and want to get rid of people that I don't enjoy anymore just feel obligated to see now and again.

Seems slightly pointless to me. If you don't want to see them, just ignore their calls. Now you're not going to know if its them calling until you've answered the phone.

This is simple, people grow apart and you do not need to explain yourself to anyone, past or present. Friendships end for so many reasons and the best part is you dont need a reason to just call it quits.

You decide who which calls you answer, and which texts you reply to.

You may have a really good reason to do that so it isn't to criticise that, but it sounds like you're angry or resentful about something regards these relationships, otherwise you just leave it and deal with as and when they contact you.
I totally understand feeling hurt sometimes btw, and acts like this can help you feel more in control of how it's panning out.

I haven't done the above as such, even tho I've felt feelings I describe above. Only because things can change and evolve and you can grow together again over time. I've had a few friendships like this which I didn't want to make 'final' so to speak. I'm glad I didn't.

I completely understand how you feel. This happened with one of my friends this year. I realised I didn’t really like them anymore. It’s been much nicer tbh
