let go of people who are bad for me.

So I haven’t talked to one bad friend in 6 months and the other bad friend I have distanced myself from. I saw her this weekend after not talking to her for about 2 weeks. I think she understands that I don’t want to be close friends with her anymore. I don’t think I can completly cut myself off from her because we have the same friends so we are bound to see each other once in a while. But I’m not going to cave in and fall into the trap of dealing with her drama issues anymore.

So the “friend” I’ve been trying to distance myself from has royaly pissed me off and it looks as though there is a great chance I will never speak to her again. She is basically pulling the same childish crap she’s been pulling since highschool and this is seriously the last straw. I have finally come to realize that I really do not need her in my life, especially if she is going to constantly cause me a great deal of stress and hurt. What really bugs me is that she knows what she did was wrong, but is not owning up to it. She is just deflecting blame onto me. I AM DONE WITH THIS PERSON. Everyone who knows of the situation does not know why I’m still friends with her… its time to move on…

I can say I’ve done this, but then there is still someone in my life that is semi-bad for me. I don’t think I will completely drop her because we have so much history and it seems that our relationship is changing. I’ve just come to the point were I don’t care or worry about what she thinks anymore, and therefore don’t let her get to me. I’ve distanced myself from her so that she can’t really harm me.
I have done this completely with another friend of mine. I came to the (sad?) realization of just what type of person she was. While I always though that she was there for me and had my best interests at heart, I found out that she actually did not and that all the good faith I put in her was mistaken. I’ve learned alot from this situation though and have realized that there’s no good reason to keep people around if they’re constantly causing you pain. I haven’t spoken to this particular friend in about 5 months and I doubt I will ever speak to her again. I’m so much more happy and I feel so liberated, which is not what I expected at first. This is definately worth doing!
