What to say to a friend you no longer want to be friends with?
End the conversation by expressing gratitude and appreciation for who they are as a person, even if you no longer wish to be close with them. Encourage them and remind them of their value as a friend. You can say: “I’m so glad I got to know you.”
What to do when you no longer want to be friends?
If the friendship seems to be on its way out anyway (like if neither one of you seems to be able to find time for each other), just let it fade out on its own. It’s not necessary to tell them you no longer want to be friends. Don’t cut them off completely with no explanation.
How do you end a friendship that you don’t like?
Instead, take a quiet moment to sit down and list the reasons you are friends with this person, and then list the things that you don’t like about the friendship anymore. This will give you some insight on whether or not the friendship can be saved, or if you should end things.
What do you do when your friend stops talking to you?
Don’t lose hope. Your friend may not be speaking to you right now, but that doesn’t mean the friendship will never, ever be rekindled in the future. It’s important to keep these things in mind: Try to accept that, at least for now, your friendship with this person is on hold, for whatever reason.
How do you deal with a friend who won’t hang out?
Homework, family, religious obligations—these are all reasons you can give for being unable to hang out. Be slow in responding to their texts and try not to talk on the phone as often. When you do talk, keep the conversations relatively short. Remember, don’t be mean or abrupt with them.
