Stop making new threads. Keep it all in the original post.

I put it through 2 AI detectors and it came out 100 percent. Maybe Im dramatic? But considering this is the only thing I’ve approached her about in a decade, maybe no? I let a lot go, give a lot of grace, but this just feels like the tipping point.

Still don’t see why it matters. Was it a school paper? You either think she’s sorry or you don’t.

Seems insincere and very corporate. No one asked for a page long apology. JuR text back and say you’re right I’ve been rude, I’m taking out my stress on you. No need for a 5 paragraph long AI apology that didn’t make sense because it was written by a robot

Let the situational friendships go.
You’re an adult - you don’t have to respond to the email.

Friendship is like a bank account.
With deposits it goes up, withdrawals goes down.
If she withdraws so much and is going into negative territory you close the account.

Why are you running anything through an AI detector? That’s weird.

Because it read like an AI. You could tell she didn’t write it.

It was a long time coming for me to even say that with a dozen things she had said or done that had been unkind in the past few months. She gets stressed easily and has a tendency to dump on people she’s close with.

Sounds like you don't have the emotional bandwidth for the bolded.

But you don't have to be all dramatic. Respond with a simple "thank you" and distance yourself quietly. That way you don't have to have completely trashed the friendship and can take it up again if you chose when you have more bandwidth to support her.

So what. Maybe she wasn't confident in her response otherwise. Do you think she is actually sincere? Is this someone you want to remain friends with? It sounds like you are just looking for an excuse to end the friendship dramatically.

To me, you sound controlling and annoying. No one asked for 5 paragraphs? Sounds like only a very particular response would have satisfied you.

People who send greeting cards and only sign their names are also relying on the words of another to express how they are feeling. Would an apology card also have offended you?

I didn’t know apologies were graded. It sounds like she’s trying, even if you don’t like the methodology.

You posted about this the other day

Fade out the friendship. No need for a dramatic breakup or anything. Just pull back, emotionally divest, and focus on other friends.

Case closed.

Made me have Deja vu to read this!
A second thread wasn’t necessary and you are being drama now. Just stop, OP.

AI or not, she was right that you were feeling unseen and unheard with the way she was talking down to you and pushing you aside. So whatever. Accept her apology or don’t. It’s not that deep.

I guess I don't understand why you're being so petty about that. Maybe she's not good with words and wanted help to express how she felt. You still have to put something in AI to get a response. But whatever, you sound like a lot since you're upset about someone's "tone" so just do her a break and cut her loose.

That could have been worded differently so it was more about how you felt and what you noticed and less an accusation.

That and they way you have conducted these posts suggests strongly you are a poor communicator and maybe have a personality disorder of some kind.
