How can i terminate the friendship?

I hope you guys can help me with a little problem I’ve had for the last year and a half. I’m friends with a girl that I absolutely can’t stand. She constantly insults me and acts like she’s superior, yet calls me every couple of days because she wants to do something. I’m one of her few friends, so I feel like breaking it off with her would be too devastating of a blow, but I’ve reached my limit. When I plan parties, she only pipes in with who I can’t invite, due to one issue or the other. How do I tell her that I don’t want to be her friend anymore without breaking her heart?

    I agree, she doesn't sound like a very good friend. I've been in a similar situation, so, I know how you feel. I had planned to gradually break away from my friend, though that didn't work too well and I eventually did to be blunt. Some people either can't absorb the subtle or they choose to ignore it. If she is this type of person you will be blunt and cut her off. Being blunt isn't being brutal, and if she wants to keep her friends she has to learn what she is doing wrong. Be honest with her and ignore her if you have to. She'll get it eventually.

    Tell her you don't really want to be freinds anymore. Be as brutal as you need to be. Tell her about Omegle.com so she doesn't get lonely. She sounds like a bitch. Break the freindship

      Thanks for the advice. She actually is a nice person, but I'm afraid she doesn't quite know how she comes across.

        That's her problem not yours. Search the internet for breakup lines. "It's just not working, you need to move on. So do I." Make it quick and clean - like a shot at a doctor's office.

    Ignore her. She'll catch on eventually. Or if you want to be honest tell her she's not a good influence in your life and you need to change things up a bit,

    You should tell her how you feel about her and just tell her you don't want to be her friend anymore. Who knows maybe she will be more reserved so she can keep the friendship.

    If you "absolutely can't stand her" then you're not her friend. Do HER a favour and cut her loose. Sounds like you're just as much of an a-hole as she is. Get a life.

      dominanntrix, I have far more of a life than someone who trolls around isitnormal to insult people. I am not an a-hole and I don't think I'm alone in this sentiment. I'm nice to her and I remain her friend because she needs someone to lean on. When I said "I can't stand her," I think the quote might have been too extreme. Furthermore, I don't see why you're in the business of judging someone online. You have no idea how I live my life. The purpose of this website is to find common ground, not to just insult people.

        Nice response. You ARE good at sticking to your guns.

    If you truly do not want to be friends with her anymore, then I think there isn't any way to end it without having her know and probably feel bad about it.

    Maybe you could talk to her face to face and say something like: You know Pam, this friendship isn't working for me anymore. I don't want you to feel bad, but I am going to move on. (And then stick to your guns!)
