In the past year a lot has changed about me. Everything from my thoughts to ambitions have transformed. That being said, I have a friend who lately has been less a pleasure knowing. It seems character flaws that once seemed tiny have become glaring. She has a false sense of snobbery that is layered on top of cheap she can be. Also, her general behavior at times can be boorish. I still have fun overall, but there are always one or two moments when I am beyond irritated. What does one do?
In cases of betrayal, it would be a simple answer. You would cut your ties and never look back. In a case such as this, I suppose slowly fading is the best option. It limits volatility while keeping them at arm's length. That doesn't mean that you won't see them at social functions. Of course, you will. Be civil and keep moving.
As people get older their inner circle changes sometimes because of circumstances beyond your control and otherwise. Whatever the case may be, you should be certain that this is the step you want to take. Once bonds are cut, you can't always glue them back.
