how do you "unfriend" a friend?

November 22, 2009 9:09pm CST
if you've been friends for so long and suddenly, he/she embarrasses you in front of workmates and you know you've been best friends for so long for him/her to keep that opinion of you to him/herself and then tell everyone about it in front of you, how would you feel? how do you "unfriend" that person?

Maybe it is best if you avoid being with that friend for a while You have been hurt but what he did so you need more time to think about your friendship. Avoid being near him for a while and do not accept his invitations. If he asks why, then maybe that is your cue to be honest and tell him you are hurt and angry at him. If he understands and says sorry, then maybe you do not have to "unfriend" him. If he does not understand why you were hurt, then becoming distant may be a good idea. Take care!

thanks rainegurl. i probably will do this. it's just weird that sometimes i feel she sees me as a friend when it's convenient for her. we've come a long way and i myself do not want it to end.

hi mommyfied I would be humiliated and embarrassed too. also Iwould get this person aside and have a firm heart to heart talk, if he or she apologizes fine,if not tell him or her that you are no longer going to be friends.that is simple and to the point as if the bond is that badly broken I doubt it can be fixed.

It's a pretty tough call to actually decide that you no longer want to be friends with someone. It would mean detaching yourself from the past that you cultivated together and embittering the memories you have of each other. But sometimes, it can't be helped. There are simply times when we have to sacrifice a relationship so that we can keep on growing without being hindered by inconsiderate, selfish people. That's when I think it's time that you have to physically distance yourself from that person. Don't dwell on how he/she wronged you, just focus on being with other people who have a more positive outlook in life, people who share your principles :)

I will just stop talking to her and being with her. I will never look at her again.

It's a hard thing to do honestly but if he or she does something to you that made you decide to break your friendship with him or her then I would suggest don't talk to him/her anymore that's the best escape for sure.

Well, if she/he did something like that, i think she/he will not be my intimate friend anymore.
