Someone asked people why they cut off their friends, and the answers will give you a boost of self-esteem

‘I realized that they:

a) Were only using me to borrow money/get free booze
b) Only called/text when they needed something
c) Were not growing as a person
d) Never asked me once how I was doing
e) Stole from their own family

I’m a pretty forgiving person but even I have my limits and needed to respect myself at the end of the day as well.’

‘He was a nazi. And I don’t mean that like he had slightly conservative views. He didn’t like interracial couples, he thought America should be a nation for white people, and he added me to a telegram channel where people were sharing recipes for napalm and stuff. I decided to leave that chat, and that friendship in short order.’

‘We planned something for over a month and he ghosted me when we were going to meet up. We had been friends for years, but he was constantly late, ghosting, and didn’t really put much effort into making plans. I told him that what he did was shitty, and never spoke to him again.’

‘I was tired of her toxicity and always talking about other people behind their backs, It doesn’t take a genius to realise that if she is talking badly about other people behind their backs, she is also doing it about me too.’

‘She’s Christian, and very religious. I thought I’d be able to get along with someone who has beliefs so vastly different from mine, and we did for a while, but she was always struggling financially and I was always paying to help her. When she needed a new car I bought it for her. She was very thankful to her god for making that happen. I got barely a mention.

I met her parents one time and we all had dinner. Her dad told me a story about how he bought the house they lived in. The crux of the story was that the previous owners had a major setback and tragically had to part with the house in a hurry and take a crappy deal. He told me this story because it was supposed to be something called “witnessing” where he is convincing me of his beliefs. But to me it was just someone’s very unfortunate event that he chose to exploit. I saw no virtue in it.

I realized that I was not compatible with this aspect of her faith. That anything good that happens is because of her god, and the humans who actually made it happen don’t deserve more than a cursory nod.’

‘When I grew tired of feeling criticized over everything. When she asked how it was that she has never been married and yet I’m engaged to be married for the second time. When she pouted and tried to make me feel guilty for not spending an entire day in SF for her birthday when I was in the middle of moving. When I asked her not to put my kid’s bed together because my fiancé would do it when he got home from work, and with the utmost contemptuous look on her face, said “I do not rely on a man to do anything for me”. Good for you, but I do. 25+ years of friendship over. I have zero regrets.’

‘Bro asked “Why don’t we have White History Month?” Bro also said George Floyd got what he deserved.

Haven’t talked to his ass in years, and if I have any say in it, never again.’

‘Because I realized that he looked at our friendship as a ledger (I did this for you, you didn’t do this for me, etc.). He also used something I told him in confidence against me. Totally unforgivable.’
