Ending friendships

[PonderosaPete]

What's the most polite way to tell someone you don't want to be friends anymore?

 

[Lapsus of the bepsus]

depends on the reason
if they owe you money, violence is recommended
if they pissed you off, violence is recommended
if they trooned out, violence is necessary

 

[Penis Drager 2.0]

Just stop talking to them.
If they call wanting to hang out, just do the "gee, I'm kinda busy. Maybe next time" bit until they give up.

 

[Spud]

Fuck off, we're done. Don't be passive aggressive about it just rip the band-aid off

 

[Daddy's Angry Juice]

Yeah just stop talking to them, unless there's a reason you feel the need to talk to them, for example, you want to give them a chance to correct whatever behavior is bothering you. But unless it was something egregious or it's something like a break up, you're both better off just leaving it at that.

[Dancefloor Muthafucka!]

Hit them with the classic “it’s not me, it’s you”

Just try to fuck them. Either way, it's a win/win.

 

[Squanto Airi]

[We Are The Witches]

Just stop talking to them.

Ghosting them.

This is horrible and spineless, just be upfront with them.

Sometimes you have to.

 

[Laburnum]

Cut off a finger each time they speak to you.

Obviously it depends on circumstance.
If it's some sort of dispute, of course you should hash out whatever the dispute is like an adult. If it's more of a "I just don't want to hang out with this person" thing, then just stop hanging out with them.

There's plenty of cases where neither person really did anything wrong. But the personalities simply aren't compatible. The best solution in this case is to let it die naturally.

 

[2mm and 99 others]

If their personality changes, like, they seem to run a script in their head and expect you to behave according to it, or expect you to know and do things they never told you and every advice or remark regarding their behaviour understand as hostility and insult, then speak your peace, block them everywhere and don't respond ever again.

 

[Fat Gollum]

Ask them to be your lover.
