How to distance myself from my friends?

[Jean Grey]

Wel...I don't really want to be friends with these two people anymore and I was thinking about ending our frienship but I don't want to end it as soon as possible. How should I distance myself from my ''friends''?

just say you're busy when they ask you to hang out

just say you're busy when they ask you to hang out

and take 1000 years to answer their texts

[PurachinaDisuko]

Make excuses when they ask to hang out, don't really respond to what they say (like when they say something just say "what?" or "huh" and when they repeat themselves just give a mediocre laugh or just say "mhm" or something), ignore their messages and calls and when they ask about it just say "I didn't see it/forgot to respond" or something

slowly start talking to them less

and take 1000 years to answer their texts

and vent to them about your mental health issues so they eventually cut you off because your suffering becomes a burden to them

Make them slowly feel you don't want to hang out aka Flaking out on your plans. Like everyone said, just tell them you're busy. 

 

As much as I want to ask details and why you want it in a round-aboutway, It is awkward to suddenly break up a friendship... Try to hang out with other group of friends if they bug you. If they're bullying you, that's another question.

try avoiding them. if they're in a same group of friends maybe be more closed off to them

would that really work? most (true) friends help each other out and you kinda become connected when you say that stuff

Well...I just realized how shitty they were to me. My friend sometimes made mean and snarky comments about me but I did not care that much about them. But he was being more and more careless with what he says. And the other has ''my opinion is superior'' attitude. Now we are all on summer break and we don't see each other that often but I am really thinking about ending it. 

 

They all know about mental illness- it is not a huge deal.

Sounds similar to a situation I had a while ago... Honestly, they're just being assholes and not taking into consideration any of your feelings or sensitivity... Especially since they're supposed to be your "friends".  Have you tried to talk them about it? My advice to you is to put your foot down and cut any toxic people out of your life (summer break is the perfect time do it tbh). Don't let anybody say shitty things or treat you like that. Cut them off, block them on everything you can so they cannot contact you anymore. You don't need that negativity.
