Breaking Up With Friends
by: Eunice

Breaking up with friends is a never easy thing to do.

I often get conflicted because inside you, you want to be nice but also, you are going crazy.

It's even worse if you have to see the person everyday.

I suggest you dissolve the book club, and you slowly distance yourself away from her. You can still be friendly but limit your actual social gatherings with her from once in 2 months, then once in 4 months and then meet up once in a long while. This is of course in hope that she gets the idea and find friends that are more 'in tune' with her style.

Of course it can get very nasty and confrontational. If you are being confronted, just be honest but kind and say that "doing those social things" with her are not really your thing. Say she's better off finding other people who are more into it to hang out with her.

When you meet her at the bus stop, simply be friendly, say hello etc but remember you are not obligated to take it further than that.
