This is a really hard post for me to write. A few weeks ago, I’d mentioned about having a really good conversation with a friend and from what it seemed to me by the end of it, everything was sorted. That is until this week, when I started my new job and the routine of being with him on the way to and from work came back into play. It just seemed like something wasn’t right and I couldn’t put my finger on it.
I’ve also mentioned here there have been times where I’ve questioned this friendship and whether it was worthwhile to try and save it. I’ve been reading about and watching all sorts of YouTube videos (psychology ones of course) to find out the best way to cut toxic people from your life and it seems like the slow fade method is the best way. Saves any anger, frustration and upset. This is another situation where I’m not going to get any closure and that’s the thing that bothers me the most. But at least this time the control is all mine.
Despite my best attempts and much debate with my anxious mind about it all, I think it’s time to say goodbye to this friendship, for now at least.
