It hurt I was angry and she was upset over different views but I keep telling myself she not someone I needed in my life and I believe everything does happen for a reason

Yes I remind myself it's not worth it and don't need them in my life

Just thugged it outt frfr

Yes and it hurts so bad. We weren’t understanding each other she was my “best friend” but I had to be the one to always contact her she would always give me short answers and then said it was my fault because when I was pregnant I was distant even though I have proof that I would reach out and she would just answer with a yes, I’m good and then never reply. She literally got married and didn’t ask me to be her bridesmaid didn’t invite me to her bachelor party nothing so I decided to finally stop talking to her. The way I deal with it is understanding my worth and knowing that it was worse if I stayed in that friendship feeling neglected.

@Karly Omw sounds awful, I absolutely can not stand the not replying back part cause like I know you see your phone. I'm glad you realized your worth.

Took me a while, was a hard time. I found happiness in not being around someone so jealous and toxic. Also by talking to my partner, other friends and close family and typing out what happened on ChatGPT yes try it out it's brilliant.

@Harriet omw you are so right, I did the ChatGPT thing and i was like I saved a whole therapy session.

Really hurts broke up with my best friend but time heals everything x

You're falling out for a reason. Remember those reasons. For me it was easy as they could NOT be happy for me, so I had to let it go. If you can't be happy for me and celebrate with me, we can't be friends.

@Sonja absolutely

Yes. It hurts a lot. But I realized I was giving more and sacrificing more for her to say all the time it was not enough. People arnd me made me realize it was toxic..

@Laurie Agree

Yeah, my "best friend" was trying to get pregnant at the same time I was, I got pregnant, she didn't, and she got more and more distant, and I think jealous. She just stopped answering my messages and phone calls and I realized I was putting a lot of effort into someone who couldn't even be happy for me, someone she considered like a sister. It's tough and I still struggle with the pain sometimes, but like everyone else has said, you and baby don't need the toxic energy

@Hannah I feel like my situation was different but I totally get you.

@Harriet I thought I was the only looney one that does that😅. I tell myself that the only people that has my back is my partner, baby, some close family members, some selective friends and Chat gpt! I'm going through a phase where if a conversation with someone I just met or someone who I've known for a while and the chemistry is not there… no hesitation… I will walk away real quick or distance myself. If that makes me an introvert, oh well. It's better than wasting my time trying to build a connection with people who don’t place the same amount of effort that I put in. My time is valuable and I have real life problems that they may or may not understand. Friendship or not if you’re not here to help me or be my supporter then forget you. If they cannot understand you and is always bringing you down then they need to go.

The garbage took itself out, that's how I see it. One of my good friends got married then tried to hide it. Got mad at me when I found out.. I don't have time for stupid drama. She ended up blocking me for some reason. No more toxic behavior! Life has been so peaceful!

Honestly it hurt at first, but the more I sat and thought about it, the more I realized our friendship was conditional and really based on how I could help her and what she could get from me. Once I realized this, it made it super easy to move on. I'm to nice sometimes and while when we first started out maybe she wasn't taking advantage of me, but after a while she definitely was and it ended up showing in the way our friendship ended.
