Since I posted this topic on the blog: thoughts on friends growing apart? People had been asking me, How do you actually break up with a friend? I am no life expert but here are some tips on how to eliminate toxic people.
1. Stop Communicating. This is the best way to break up with them. You have to stop texting them back. Stop calling them back. Stop liking their facebook posts or better yet, just block them. You don't have to feel guilty about doing it. You owe no one an explanation.
2. Break it to them gently. If they don't get the first tip then probably you have to give them hints that you don't want them in your life. Let them pick up the bread crumbs of your broken relationship. Again, you don't have to explain yourself.
3. Distance yourself. Stop going to parties where you could potentially meet each other.
4. Straight to the point. At this point you have to tell it to them straight in the face. If they fail to get the clue, then somebody is up for a rude awakening.
Forget their names now, see how better things. Living life that way is so exhausting. Trust me. I know better. I've been there. 40 million times.
