I met a guy who later became my friend when I volunteered at a school and he helped me a lot with my work there. However, a few months after when we would text, he would always poke at my insecurities (though I’m not sure if it was intentional and he was trying to make me jealous). For example, I’m a tall girl but he would always say how he doesn’t see tall girls as ‘actual girls’, just friend material etc. Once I started dating my boyfriend, my friend became clingier to me and flirtatious- so I distanced myself from him. There have been a few times this year where I have seriously contemplated cutting him off altogether now that I don’t volunteer anymore, but I’ve never taken anyone out of my life intentionally- or said it plainly. I drift apart from people of course but never had an official cut from someone. I feel very guilty about it. But in the same way, there is no reason for me to keep in contact with.  Just last night he went on a rant, sending me a series of paragraphs about how by ignoring him I’m ruining our friendship, how our discussions on life were fake and meaningless, how I lead him on about being ‘friends forever’ and that I’m too guilty to just cut things off completely. And I am. I feel so guilty and too nice to let go but he is not serving me any purpose and he is not my boyfriend. He’s just causing me stress and worry. I feel like I would be an awful person to say “let’s not talk anymore.” I don’t know what’s wrong with me
