As a (people pleaser) , does anyone have any advice on how to cut things off with a narcissistic friend? We’ve been friends for around five years, and we’ve had both good and bad moments. They’ve helped me through a lot, including the passing of my mom, and because of that, I don’t want to just ghost them. I feel like I at least owe them a message. The thing is, I’m scared of how they’re going to take it, no matter how carefully I word it. I really don’t want it to turn into an argument. I genuinely wish them the best and send them nothing but love, but I also want to do what I think is best for me. I’m really stressed and depressed, and I feel like I need to put my own well-being first but I feel like I suck at doing that. :( I hate conflict.
