Is anyone familiar with pushing people out of their lives because they became a negative and toxic prescence un it? I stopped talking to someone that I used to talk to a lot, but in the recent months I started seeing things in their character that just made me uncomfortable and just down right annoyed Most of the time. Now I feel like a terrible person for avoiding this person and not speaking to them, but I don't know What to do, any advice?

There's nothing wrong with pushing toxic people out of your life

I think it was the right choice to cut this negative person out of your life. I had a negative friend who started out as nice and we would be playfully mean to each other (call each other mean things as a joke, all in good fun) but as time went on she started to not sound like she was joking anymore, and she didn't take me seriously when I asked her to stop. It ended in a sortof fight and I called her out, but since I cut her out I've been looking back and seeing all the negative things shes done that I thought nothing of at the time. It hurts to realize someone you thought was a great friend really is a nasty person, and it's hard to let go sometimes, even if the person is mean.

If you feel like they’re not good for you and you aren’t interested in having a relationship with them , then that’s the right call ! You aren’t under any obligation to be friends with someone just because you have a past with them. If your values don’t align with their character , you have to put yourself before them and end the friendship. And as time goes on and you realize it passed without them and you’re fine , it’s a very rewarding feeling. You’ll be good

Then I definitely wouldn’t give them an explanation. Especially since it’s been 3 months since then , and if they’re draining then they may start problems if you offer one. Since you haven’t said anything they can’t start with you

I just feel terrible for not giving an explanation, as this person is friends with my other friends

That doesn’t at all make you a terrible person. I mean you could definitely give them one , but how long have you gone without talking to them ?

Last time I actually spoke to them was about 3 months, I haven't been keeping in touch with them speciffically, I have with my other friends though and they know this as well. But this person is very demanding and attention seeking and I saw that as very draining for me
