Don't. It's hard but you just gotta let them go, they wanna be like that, so be it.

It feels meanspirited in a way.

I pretty much did the same to my old friends. I didn't tell them to not say hello or anything I just dropped all contact. I was getting into a bad place and needed to sort shit out, it wasn't anything personal against them.

I know it sucks but I wouldn't say anything. Its unlikely to make anything better

I've been in your shoes before, fuck em. You do you, man.

What happened between you two? This sounds a bit ridiculous, you can't just "delete" someone from your life. I wouldn't try to stop and chat with him if I were you, but if he can't handle basic social civility, that's his problem.

Maybe this makes me a bit of an asshole, but if someone sent me a message like that, I'd probably go out of my way to fuck with him when I saw him. Just give him a big friendly greeting, go in for a hug, ask how his family's doing, awful stuff like that

>>17998430
He never really opened up to himself, ever. Everything was cryptic about him.

>>17998446
Well if you weren't even close before, I guess just leave him alone. It's odd, but it sounds like it's his own issue, I wouldn't take it personally if you never even had a fight or anything

My friend did this and went to go live in the woods for like a year when he was 19. He eventually came back to normal, but he was broken for some reason, and just decided people were bad.

Just give him his space.

scenarios on this board always look exactly like ones in my own life. proof that many of my problems are common?

what's their name?

>>17998415
Did you reconnect them?

>>17998495
No and its been almost 4 years. I don't have bad feelings, I just needed to be away and didn't want to make a big deal about it.

It's ruthless in a way but its never personal.

There is no reason to try to reconnect with him. He will eventually find a new excuse even if you patch things up.
