Uhm. I wanna break up with my best friend.

I am in a "situation" where my best friend has gone quiet. not ghosting but they aren't talking as usual.
I'm generally a pretty anxious person and the discomfort that's growing between us is making me clenched my jaw, you know?
This has been going for a couple months and I think I've grieved our friendship enough. I feel indifferent about them now and even a little bit annoyed 2hen they do talk to me, but I get anxious thinking about the conversation that needs to happen for me to be able to have closure and let them go.
They have been unfair to me now that they have new friends, so I'm also hurt and angry on that part.
I don't know how to approach this or what to do here. I don't like to just ghost people until i finally forget they were ever there. that's just not how i do things.

The way I see it… if things are already super distant between the two of you and have been for months now… I don’t think there needs to be a conversation to formally break up with them. Friends drift apart all the time, regardless of whether they ever decide to officially break off the friendship or not. You’re worried about a conversation that probably doesn’t even need to happen. I would say just try to live your life, just as they live theirs, and let time and distance do its thing.
Friendships come and go, but the memories last a lifetime. There's not really anything to be said, so I say keep moving forward.

It’s a weird situation but if they’re already talking less and less you can probably just match that and things will probably just fizzle out and be done
It might not give closure per so but there also won’t be any uncomfortable discussion to have

You could just let the friendship fade away naturally by not investing anymore effort. At some point they may reach back out to you. But you can invest your efforts in new friends yourself that reciprocate them.
It's sad, but friends come and go. If they have cast ur friendship aside without giving u any reason or explanation, u in turn can cut them out of ur life without remorse. Move on and make new and better friends. Ones that won't throw u away like yesterdays trash.

Stop carrying your friend on your mind and get on with your own life...

you could just kind of let it auto ghost

they will have less and less contact and you can work on another friend

The best thing to do is face it head on and just have a conversation.
Do what is best for you
