i cannot stand my friend. she is mean to me. although sometimes she is nice. but i cannot endure anymore. i feel like we're a rollercoaster, switching between mean and nice. i will not elaborate on the reasons why. does anyone know how how i can stop being friends with someone? i think its easier to break up in a relationship but how do you do it with friendship? i have no idea. okay i do not want to talk things over with my friend because she is hard to deal with and that would not work. i do not want to stop talking to her completely. if there is anything i can say or whatever i can do to tell her i dont want to be friends with her anymore in a nice way?

We naturally faded out of friendship. I still talk to her when I see her. But she annoys me and I annoy her. That's why we never hang out. We have different lives now. Which is still okay. There's other people out there who need and want friends. So don't worry. If you guys start fading then let in happen. But if you guys are like meant to be friends then you'll know and just tell her that you feel like she doesnt care about your feelings anymore because she's always mean to you. She'll understand, but if so she doesnt care then just let it be. People come and go in your lives. Well ! I really hope this helps! [ munchie007's advice column | Ask munchie007 A Question ]

We have been friends forever and then we were acting mean then nice to each other like in your case. You just need to talk to her and tell her whats bothering you because if you just ditch her and she would be like what did I do? So you should explain it to her and ask her if she would be a nicer friend and you both would work on it. Think about it, is she the only one being mean? Or are you too? If so you both have something to work on if she accepts it. Give her a chance and talk about it and hopefully you guys might do better in your friendship.

You need to tell her what is hurting your friendship and ask her to work on it or move on. You don't have to stop talking to each other if you decide to go seperate ways. All you need to do is be civil towards one another.
You really have to show her how she has hurt you and what is ruining your friendship before ditching her. This is just good sense as the person needs to respond and correct their mistakes. Give her that opportunity first.
If this doesn't work say "I have enjoyed being your friend but for now need to move on because I'm hurt etc." More or less it's like a regular breakup but don't make it into a blow out. Try to talk things out even though you don't want to. You owe her that. [ solidadvice4teens's advice column | Ask solidadvice4teens A Question ]
