How can I nicely get rid of my friends?
getting rid of a friend is a pretty big decision and as you learn from these experiences and age, your question will hopefully change to, “should I allow this person into my life”With most friends you can go away gently, and quietly just by not calling them, not being available when they ask you to meet up with them, if they text you, reply kindly and say , “sorry, I can't talk right now.”A lot of people will just shrug their shoulders and start hanging out with people who are more available. It's not uncommon for people to drift away from one another.Not every friend you break it off with needs to be told why. Peoples values, morales and personalities change and it doesn't mean they are a bad person, but just not right for you, in your life today.Toxic friends, I call them soul suckers can be more difficult to get rid of. Their lives feed off of having an audience. Their negativity will suck your soul from your body and you leave a night out with them feeling exhausted and possibly depressed.Sometimes you will have to muster the strength to be honest and tell these people, that you cannot be there for them anymore, that you wish them the best and hope things improve for them, but you need more positive influences in your life.They will probably be angry but remember that is just because they ar e hurt, let them seek solace someplace else.I have had friends come and go in my life, some we just drifted a part a little more each day and others I had to tell them, why I can't be there for them anymore and visa versa.My take away from this was that I was able to purge, bad influences, manipulates, and soul suckers from my life and aquaint myself with people who are uplifting and keep me motivated into being the best person I can be.Good luck, remember choosing to be honest with someone does not mean that you cannot do it nicely and with compassion.
How to get rid of a toxic friend?
Just stop being with her. If she drops by, just tell her that you don't feel like hanging out and would she mind going home? If she calls, tell her that you don't feel like talking right now. If she approaches you at school, don't ignore her, but make sure that you find other people to hang with. Keep answers to her questions brief, but not rude. Prepare to eventually have to answer the biggie: Why are you being this way to me? Either you can be honest and gentle or you can be rude. You choose. Remember that you could be honest, gentle, and help her make changes that would enrich her own life. While you may consider her to be toxic, she may have some good traits that you really do appreciate and I personally don't see any reason to completely dump a friend. Do you really know someone who has too many friends? And this isn't going to be a fast procedure, either. The least painful way is to bring a third friend into the mix and gradually extricate yourself from the trio as a regular by making plans for the three of you and then backing out at the last minute until the old friend is comfortable with the third one on a regular basis.
How do you nicely get rid of deadbeat friends?
Don't be nice. Be good. Good people can be honest without being cruel. Nice people lie to protect your feelings. Good people won't.
How do I get rid of a clingy friend?
Tactfully. Unlike another responder, there is no reason to hurt someone just because you may not like them. If they are always around, make yourself less available. Make plans without them. Don't answer their calls or texts right away. If you like them, simply be less available to them. If you don't like them, over time, make yourself unavailable. If none of that works and they are always placing themselves in your life, tactfully tell them you need time alone or private time to be with someone else. If that does not work, tell them there constant attention is weighing on your friendship in an unhealthy and negative way. That you need a life apart from their constant behavior. That you like being with them some of the time but not all of the time. If none of that works, tell them that you need a break away from them. If that does not work, be blunt but not cruel or hurtful and tell them they need to move on.

Help! how do you get rid of a scorpio friend?
Hey hon :) Well, whether she means to be or not; it sounds like you have a psychic/emotional vampire on your hands. She is draining you. I know that you are a sweetheart because you are really very concerned about her feelings and you dont want to hurt her. (Venus in Pisces) But in the end, its YOU that you need to be concerned about. In my life I have found that the truth is always best. But tactfully as she IS a scorpio and she may feel a bit vengeful later. I would tell her that this is your senior year and there are alot of things you want to explore in your last year of high school. That because of that you probably wont be as available to her as you were in the past. I would tell her that I hope she is getting alot out of her college experience and if she isnt I'd encourage her to make an effort to befriend a classmate or 2. What ever you decide to say to her, as long as its tactful, remember this: You have a right to your own happiness. Her feelings and reactions are hers to deal with and hers alone. You are not responsible for them or for her. Free yourself of this one...until she can be happy she will drain you and then one day you will just get so fed up you wont be able to help what comes out of your mouth! :)
How do you get rid of unwanted/fake friends?
It is always the best way to tell them to their face if you do not want them in your life. But it is not always easy to do this. Here’s what I tried on a couple of ‘fake friends’ and successfully got rid of them.Fake friend’s text: “Hi, how are you?”Me: “Who’s this?”Fake friend: “You don’t have my number saved?”Me: “No.”(Remember to not offer any clarifications as to why you have not saved his/her number.)Do this a couple of times over and you would have sent him/her a clear message to f*** off without actually wording it.Make sure that the person/his friendship is fake before doing it. Don’t be careless and lose genuine friends, they are difficult to find.
