with someone?
i have a friend who i have come to realise i feel i have nothing to talk about or in common with and i dont really enjoy her company either, bc i always feel very tense around her and super exhausted after hanging out with her. she lives in the same apartment building as me. i dont know how to stop being friends with her. it's not that i want to completely cut her off, i dont mind bumping into her and small talking or if im having a party in the basement ofc she can come, i just dont want to spend any significant amount of time with her one on one bc it is so exhausting. she keeps asking to hang out and idk what to say, i just want to avoid a conflict or it being awkward when we inevitably run into each other
for some background info as well: we have only been friends for a year (since she moved in). we have gone to school together years ago but were never friends, and when she moved in here, she asked if i wanted to have coffee and i said sure, and we just started hanging out semi-regularly. now a year later, i have come to realise that i dont enjoy the friendship and would prefer to only be friendly acquaintances rather than friends. i just dont feel that we are a good match as friends bc we clash on many things and all we really have in common is like similar trauma and insecurities, and i dont think that is a foundation for a friendship
she has also blown up previously over me asking if she was mad when she was being very sarcastic and cold towards me over messenger, so before anyone says "just tell her how you feel" i dont think that will go very well
