How to handle a toxic friendship?
Relationship Stress / by ForestNymph13

...See more I've been friends with this girl for over a year, and although I knew from the beginning that our interests and lifestyles are completely different, I only recently received a wake up call from her, almost quite literally, that made me analyze our friendship and question it. We are completely different personality-wise and our friendship really only came about because of our shared loneliness at the time, but I have found that I am starting to dislike her more than I used to love her. She is selfish, clingy, and hot headed. She refuses to take responsibility when she does something wrong, often shifting blame. She feels any percieved slight deeply and holds grudges, but after a small amount of time has passed seems to let it go and act as if no problem existed. She often belittles me and makes me feel useless. These are some of her worse traits off the top of my head that I just seem to notice all the time now. I loved our friendship because she can be dependable, although even that is constantly changing with her whims now, and has moments where she is thoughtful and sweet. I do love this girl and I know cutting her out of my life would hurt her deeply, not to mention me returning to the lonely life I had before her, but I hate the person I become around her and I know something needs to change. I would like to ask if there is a way to slowly acclimate her to our friendship ending or if there is a way to save it?
