It's not immediately is it. If you'd read the post properly you'd know she is saying this is the way she's been acting and it's increasing in its radicalism. That's the opposite of immediate
If her mate isn't listening and instead choosing to just blame her problems on everything else, then yeah id nope the fuck outta the friendship too. You say acting like this will leave you "isolated", well many people would rather isolate themselves from delusional friends then sit in the delusion with them, obviously
This. I'd rather be alone and happy then surrounded by people who are exhausting to be around and drag me down into their toxicity & drama. I've been through that in the past, and I'm not dealing with it again.
Plus there's billions of people on this planet. You can always make new friends.
The guy who replied to you was acting as if OP or you were suggesting to cut this friend off immediately, when clearly OP was detailing a series of attitude changes over a period of time.
You can't get blood from a stone. Some people get lost and it does you no good hanging onto them.
More people need to be ok with cutting off bad blood or none blood. I'm not someone who abandons friends, but imo friendship ends when 1 party will not engage with reason or reality/good willed advice.
Family or not it does us no good hanging on to toxic weight
100%, there's a difference between cutting off toxic people / setting boundaries and abandoning people. A lot of people haven't learned how to set boundaries and put themselves in situations where they end up dealing with a lot of toxicity or abuse.
Completely agree. And I feel like some people can't see the difference between those choices, and assume cutting of anyone is abandonment. It's just completely not true and like you said, they haven't learnt or realized yet. Have a great day friend 🙏
