Let me ask you a series of honest questions, Nameless:
Would you want to stay friends with someone whom you feel as though you need to walk on eggshells around, because the smallest thing can set them off? Or someone who considers the majority of those whom they come across as pawns, a means to an end, rather than friends or human beings? Someone who calls into question loyalty and friendship the moment a disagreement arises, or throwing a tantrum when said pawns—my apologies, "friends"—refuse to let someone have their way all the time, or call someone out on their immediate shortcomings? Someone who is strangely, conveniently never once in the wrong, and never failing to play the victim, even when—e s p e c i a l l y when—they've done or said something they shouldn't have and is in need of some sort of correction?
Now, granted, everyone has their imperfections, because mankind is imperfect. I myself can even list every character flaw I have, and there would still be much I hadn't covered.
But, the fact of the matter is that there is a difference between being flawed, and being toxic. Whether you recognize that or not, Nameless, you are a rather toxic individual; and while others may be more willing to put up with that disposition, I for one am definitely not. We can be cordial with one another, even have a few laughs, but understand that you are no friend of mine, and I likewise have no intention of being yours. I apologize if any of what I said has offended you, because that wasn't my intention, but I stand by every word. Also, be assured that I hold nothing against you—that would be a colossal waste of time and energy—and I genuinely hope you'll grow and improve as a person, and I myself will continue trying to do the same.

I'm moving on
I'm happy that i was forced to move on from you. We don't belong together, it doesn't feel like it right now but deep down I know it. You've changed, I've chan...
At least you can put a positive spin on it. At the end of the day though, it sounds like the relationship was toxic and leaving was best for your mental health.
ReplyI've learned that keeping things negative benefits neither party. Besides, my intent wasn't to be negative, but to express "what's what," so to speak.
While I won't deny my part in the issues that arose in that so-called friendship, that person, unfortunately, has always been like that; I had only discovered that, however, once I started to sink too deep into their influence. Surprisingly, it was incredibly easy to cut them off—in fact, I could've done it much, much sooner—but my other acquaintances spent time with that individual fairly often, so I was forced to be exposed to them.
As it turns out, I needed to not only cut Nameless from every aspect of my life, but also take some time away from others, as well. So far, it's proven very helpful, and very very healthful. However, I doubt that that's the last I'll see or hear from them.
ReplyHope you're moving on
ReplyGratitude. It's not so much the individual themselves who are difficult to move on from; it's moreso the subconscious fear of the potential negative consequences.
