So me and \*Liz have been friends for about a decade long.

&amp;#x200B;

We've mainly had ups for the most part, until the last six months (of last year) when something horrible happened to Liz. That's when everything changed.

&amp;#x200B;

She didn't open up to me about the events until a couple months afterwards when the worst of it had passed. Apparently Liz wasn't coping well with any of it, and was spiraling into a hole. A lot of things weren't working well for her, but this was the thing that set her over the edge. She was making some questionable choices, which I kept warning her not to do. And of course she did them anyways, and came crawling back to me crying.

&amp;#x200B;

She told me that she couldn't talk to anyone about her deepest fears and depression, which lead her to obsess about the same details and her constant facetime calls (half of which I ignored because I was dealing with my own stress/being annoyed of her). I'll admit that she was getting a little bit better about not calling me everytime she was having hysteria, but she was always so depressing everytime I'd see her. Yes, she would apologize after obsessing about her issues with me, and She'd ask me if there was anything in life that was bothering me. Her exact words were "I don't want to make every conversation about me, you can talk about your issues too if there's anything you're stressed about". But I didn't want to steal her spotlight since she was having her hysteria.

&amp;#x200B;

I'll admit that I was a little annoyed by the fact that she couldn't move past some issues. And I'd lowkey drop some hints like "Maybe you should just forget about it". I think that might have been why she did what she did later.

&amp;#x200B;

A few months later, and that's when I started having anxiety because of her. I would text her over the course of two months to casually chat with her, but she would take ages to respond to my messages. And I began to suspect that she might have been using me this entire time! Only chatting with me whenever she needed someone to rant to. This went on until I couldn't take it anymore and I asked to meet up.

&amp;#x200B;

I confronted her in person about her slow responses and how I thought she was using me, but she said that she was just busier than usual dealing with some other things and would just simply respond faster. And I argued that actions speak louder than words, to which she countered by calling me out for purposely evading her facetime calls earlier. At this point, I was so annoyed with her drama that I told her I wanted out of this friendship, and I ranted how she would never think about if I was going through things of my own. Oh, and to top it off, she couldn't even see why I was angry/hurt that she could say something like "Oh, we're just really different people now". Maybe if she could sense when something was wrong with me, things wouldn't have ended.
