But if this friend has been a big part of your life, someone that you have trusted and gone deeper with, say the hard thing that needs to be said.
This is why her friend from the first chapter had to “break up” with her. They had gotten into this super-intense weekly or twice-weekly, exhausting fire pit thingy. Maybe she was an introvert, like me, and she was like, “I gotta get away from this circle of nutjobs…”
I remember once in high school, my friend Sondra said she quit seeing a guy because, “He always wants to have these deep conversations about ‘God and The Universe’. It’s okay once in a while, but sometimes I just want to have fun.” Yeah, that. Not every meeting with friends (individually or collectively) needs to be this soul-laid-bare, cry-and-hug fest…in fact, I don’t really want that at all.
