[quote=Anonymous]I've cut off 2 friends.

1 friend just became very bitter as she got older.  Everything that went wrong was everyone else's fault.  If anyone disagreed with that, she would flip out on them.   Eventually it just got too much and I was tired of all the negativity and victimhood.

The other friend was a compulsive liar.   I knew it stemmed from self esteem issues and I was sympathetic for years.   But as I got older and my time was stretched more thin, I just didn't want to spend it around someone who constantly lied.  And it was always about stuff that she never needed to lie about. She would make up all these details about a new job and then the job never existed.  There were two incidents that really pushed me to the point of ending the friendship.  The first was when we were at a friend's house and a friend was getting a ton of attention over something.  And then 30 min later this lying friend announced her dad was being rushed to the hospital with a possible stroke.  But she didn't want to leave (he lived 30 min away) and then spent the rest of the night getting attention on her.   When I followed up with her about her dad , the details didn't make sense and I was suspicious (I'm a medical professional).  I ran into her parents a month later and mentioned something about how great he looked and he had no idea what I was talking about.  And the last thing was when it came out that she lied about having an abortion.  It had been this whole thing years ago when she was struggling with fertility issues about how her DH had made her have an abortion when they had been dating for 2 years.   It turned out to be a lie.  [/quote]
