Parting with friends on bad terms..

i always say..something..like what's up doc? or how ya doing buddy..?? and give them a big smile..or at least offer them some kind of greeting...it is the right thing to do..i have not a enemy in the world that i would not turn into a friend..when you befriend your enemy you have conquered your enemy

Exactly as you have described above . I have parted with many friends in the past and the truth is I just don't care about them or what is going on in their lives . I don't wish bad on any of them but they are no longer a part of my life so I would treat them as I would anyone else that I didn't know . I wouldn't walk away though as I would never walk away from someone just for the simple fact that if I was somewhere and they were to then I am not going to leave on their account as they were not the reason I went to begin with so they are not going to ruin the reason I went .

I think I would try my best to be as nice as I could.. who knows, maybe they have changed.. lately I have bumped into quite a few people from my passed, we used to get in trouble, some of them were way more out there then I was, but were grown up now and a lot has changed.. so I would give them a chance to show me who they are now.. maybe you might reconnect with one of your old friends and find that they are just the sweetest person ever.. people can change..you might be surprised..

since you were the one who decided to let go of you frienship, i think you owe them an explanation. i got same problem as your last 2 years ago. i have a friend for 4 years and out of the blue she decided to end up our friendship and i dont understand why?? all those time we were together are best time of friendship.we use to hang up in her place, in my place and eat our favotire foods, watch movies together, let the each other borrow money, strenght, things and share almost everything. so it was my big wonder why she wanted to break our friendship. untill i give up asking her why cause i got no response but instead a very bad look from her eyes was all i got. after 2 years in that situation, the fact that we are working in the same place, she decided to go abroad. by then i was in the situation with the acceptance about our ruined friendship. she was in the airport when i phone rung and i dont have any plan to pick it up cause it's her name that appeared in my phone'sscreen. she gave me another call and then i pick it up. it is really her on the other line saying im sorry and she missed me a lot. i cried and told her to take care of her self. she said that she felt relieve for hearing me with that words. one had gone fast and we have 2 years more to count to see each other again and hear her reason for doing such... i cant imagine that you make me remember one sad part of my life.... ^_^

I have run into people I parted with on bad terms and I did not see them or speak to them. When I say bad terms I mean it was BAD terms. We just didn't speak to each other. I'd say that the best thing to do would be, since you'd be working, wait until they spoke to you. Then just be amicable. You're 26. I'd say you as well as they should be able to be adults about seeing each other. I also ran into people with whom I would not want to deal with at work and I just asked someone else to take care of them and did something else instead. So if something turned bad, that's what I would do. Say you were sorry you had to go do something else and if they need help or assistance someone else should be able to help them.

Hi cynddvs! Well, I did have two of my so called friends who I have avoided for the past year now...I won't go into the "gory" (LOL)details why but just like you, I don't want hanging out with people who are so negative and are hypocrites at the same time...I have crossed paths with them (NO MATTER HOW MUCH I PRAYED THAT I WON'T) twice and what I did the first time is, I just walked the other way and the second time...well, I can't really avoid them because we attended the same event...I greeted them politely and was just civil with them. I don't think they will try to make a scene because if they do, they know I am not the type who will back down.LOL. Have a nice day! Take care.

I have parted with friends on bad times on a couple of occasions, but I don't carry a grudge. I get over things pretty quickly and I'll send them an SMS text, or ring them and apologise for my part in the bad feeling. This way, if you have to work with them, or bump into them on the street, things are normally forgotten and ok again, unless the friend you upset is not a very receptive person. Words spoken in the heat of a moment should soon be forgotten, and a simple "Sorry" text should make everything ok again. Brightest Blessings.

If I have the chance i would avoid them. But if I have to deal with them due to working, or gathering or anything, I will just say hello if they come near me and said some greetings to me. If they ignore me, I would not do anything to come their way and offer a hello to them. I refuse to get myself into a situation that is awkward.

I had a serious falling out with one of my very closest friends 2 weeks ago and she also lives in the other half of my duplex! I was extremely hurt over the whole incident and so far we have not come face to face and as I have now pretty much gotten over the hurt I intend to be casually friendly (neighborly) and just leave it at that. If it had been a business friend I would also be professional but a little bit cool.

i have had friends that i stop hanging out with for some reasons, but we dont have an argument, i just stop being friends with them...they did something to my father that i ca not forgive, even talking to them. i cannot do anymore... if ever i see them, as i often do, i just pretend i did not see them at all

I work in the public also. If one of these friends comes to where you work you should just treat them as you would any other customer. Guard against showing any sort of attitude at all.Smile and treat them with the same courtesy and respect that you do all the others. If they try to make conversation ...don't. just say you are working. Hopefully they will just stay away from your workplace.

I have to admit i have parted with a few friends on bad terms, for various reasons. One because they tested my patience to way beyond its limits on many occasions, would often result in us having words. As i'm not the type of person who lets people walk all over them. That friendship ended very badly about 5 years ago. Luckily, i haven't seen the person in that time as i couldn't really say how i'd handle that situation. I'm not an ignorant person, so i'd certainly greet them with either a smile or a simple 'hello'. If they didn't respond, i'd walk away with my head held high knowing that i at least tried. I've also recently stopped seeing and calling another friend as much as i used to due to their negative behaviour. We haven't exactly parted on bad terms, i've simply told them the truth about themselves and how they've been dragging me down, etc. I think the best way for you to handle your situation is just be friendly and polite should you see the friends you've parted from. If they respond in the same way, then thats good and if not, you can at least walk away with your pride intact knowing that didn't let yourself down.

you're right. if they cause trouble for you when you meet them on the job, then they're immature. my bestfriend and i had a serious falling out 3 years ago and we would constantly meet in school. i didn't know how to act, whether to ignore her or try to make amends. i really didn't know what i was feeling during those times that i got to see her in school. there were so many emotions. it's a good thing though that everytime i saw her, i had someone with me so when my bestfriend would come, i would just turn to my companion and ignore my bestfriend; act like i didn't see her.

Just ignore them, they don't deserve to have you

I try to aoid them if I can, thi is my very honest opnion. If I have to face them, I would be as nice as I can may the nicest person in the world to them as if there was nothing ever and this is a very good friendship. But if by anyway ican avoid them, that will be my first choice
