How do I let a friend down without hurting them.

I recently went on holiday with a friend and had a good time now she wants to plan another long distance holiday but I want to go on my own and do my own things but I don't want to hurt her feelings. How do I break it to her I want to go on my own without upsetting her. Please help.
Hey, I want to go do a trip by myself.

Less bullshit and straight honesty is usually better overall

Organize the next holiday with her to happen in 2026.. So next year you can go on a holiday by yourself in 2025.. Problem solved..

@PoetryNEmotion Yeah i am a christian so what has that got to do with the advice i gave? Also caring for other people is Good not evil.. You want to call good evil then woe to you..
@Adstar Bury your views under your altar. Fanatics are not wanted. Adios.

Just be honest or option two, you travel to get her but do things separately. Either way, make it clear that you want to do your own activities and that some may differ from what she likes. I think she'll understand.

Do it early and in stages. Tell her what your plans and how important they are for you. Give her a chance to be excited about your plans.

You will have to hurt her feelings, just be kind about it

What was the issue with her?

@Quetzalcoatlus there was no issue with her apart from we like different things and I want a few days on my own. Am I being selfish.

@Pcat82 Just be honest. A true friend will understand.
Explain it simply. Kindly. If she is your friend, she will understand.
Tell them right away so they don't make plans.
@Spoiledbrat Now that is realistic and kind. Being REAL.
