End of friendship

I had to end my friendship with my best friend to protect my mental health. She could be quite hurtful at times and insult me. I had spoken to her about this on a number of occasions and she promised to change but never did.

Others had to end their friendship with her too as she was nasty to them. I feel sad at times as we did have good times but I won’t tolerate abuse. How can I move on from this friendship?

She has told someone else that her friendship with me and others who no longer speak to her were not worth it.

You just need to give it time and you’ll get used to her not being apart of your life.

My ex friend ended our relationship, after she said some nasty hurtful things to me. One night, she called me, drunk, wanting to argue about some funny and ridiculous thing I liked on IG.

I told her I don't appreciate her calling me just to argue, that I was getting ready for dinner and was not in the mood for it, and said good night.

She later told me we're no longer friends. I told her this was HER choice, not mine.

She's done this to other people before and when we were friends, she was sooo prideful about cutting others off. I used to think "At what do you become the problem?"

Well when she did it to me, I knew she was the problem.

Don't try to reconnect with her. You don't have to have any animosity towards her, but do not try to be a friend she does not deserve. Put that energy and love into volunteering and helping others who really need you and appreciate you when you show up.
