I ended a friendship recently. She was obnoxious and weird, and I didn't like her. Apparently all of my friends could sense my discomfort with her which is... Wow. I thought I was being discreet. Guess not?
We met only this school year, but she was so... clingy. She wanted all of my attention only on her, and would get jealous when I talked to anyone else. There was this one particular moment that I'll never forget:
It was during sports festival week, so we didn't do anything for the entire day. At the end of the day, me and a couple of my friends (including her) went to the library together since we found out it was allowed. When we were there, we all sat at one table together and just talked and fucked around; but she was just standing there staring at us; moping about how lonely and left out she feels. I told her that she could come join us if she wanted to, but she told me she didn't want to because she "didn't know anyone." Mind you, she knew everyone at that table except for one person. She didn't come to the table because of one person. And after declining my offer to join us, she just kept staring at us and whining about how alone she feels when she sees us. All of her other friends were there, including two that she knew way before me. So... I didn't understand at all. You know everyone at the table except for one person, who you are atleast acquainted with, so... Why don't you just sit with us? It stressed me out because I felt bad and wanted her to be included.
I'm happy I stopped being friends with her. There were a ton of other reasons, but the main one was her clinginess and the fact she kept making weird and uncomfortable jokes about me and occasionally my friends aswell, knowing full well they weren't okay with them.
I feel like a heavy burden was lifted from my shoulders that day.
