Annoying friend.

[beautifulearth83]

To be honest, I'm angry that I even need to spend time posting about this. Things have been going well for me and such a stupid drawback is enough to make me want to kick things.

 

I have this "friend" who I've known for a bit. She gets in touch with me at the most interesting times. Particularly when I'm doing well, or planning my future or going through an important transition. I don't really like her. She has been awful to me in the past and I'd rather just not deal with it.

 

I don't feel like I could tell her all this. It isn't in my nature, but I also feel like of course I need to do what is best for myself.

Sometimes you just need to do what is best for yourself. It doesn't sound like a super important friendship if it's the kind where the contact comes and goes. If you were losing a best friend or something I might advise otherwise. But in the case of something like this, if you need to let it go, don't waste time feeling bad about it. The only question is do you want to do it silently and just not talk to her anymore, or is there some part of you that actually wants to tell her how you feel? If you're not really interested in repairing the relationship or trying to keep this person in your life, then saying anything to her would just create more drama with no real purpose. So if you just want it to be done with, I would do it quietly, block her phone number or whatever else you have to do, every form of communication has privacy controls on it these days, people seem to conveniently forget that when they want to complain about someone who won't leave them alone. Want someone gone? Block email, cell phone, Facebook, whatever else. If you really want to tell her how you feel, then go ahead I guess, but you said it's not in your nature, so it wouldn't really be doing you any favors and she might not gain much from being told that she did some hurtful things either. If you want it done why not just let the relationship fade away and stop responding?
