Hi WovenGalaxy. May I give you some feedback, Ma'am, if you don't mind?



Well, I think, for me, in this instance, it's basically to focus on the good reasons why you choose to keep this person as a friend. Okay, there might be things about them which you're only just tolerating, but at the same time, you're choosing to keep them as a friend, right? So, if it's me, I ask myself 'why'? Why do I want this person to be my friend? And then I might realize that there are actually quite a few things about them I like. Is this the case with your friend, as well @WovenGalaxy? You actually do like this person?

Also, one time, I read a previous post of yours somewhere where you mentioned you struggle with social anxiety[!] Oh my gosh, I have that, and it's the worst thing ever for trying to be accepting of peoples 'funny ways'. I'm sorry!! I'm like you, so I totally know what you mean (((hugs)))

So, at the end of the day, if I ask myself in all sincerity if I can handle having this person in my life, and if the answer is "no, I'd be happier without them", [personally I'd rather feel lonely than constantly at odds with someone] then let them go in whatever way you feel you have a closure around it and accept whatever consequences there might be.

I'm not the relationships expert but that's my approach. Blow them. You'll find the ruminating will come to an end.
