I have two groups of friends. The one group of friends are all in my classes and they have the same hobby as me (ballet) and I just have way more in common with them and love spending time with them. But theb I have another group of friends who I dont really have much in common with and we just really only became friebds because we didnt know anybody else. So I wabt to drift away from that group because they always expect me to eat lunch with them and go out with them on weekends. How do I drift away without causing arguments and lots of confrontation. Please help?

Slowly drift away from them & maybe they will get the picture. Just sit with the group of friends you would rather sit with instead of them. It's better to be friends with people you have more in common with and you will be happy with. I was put in this situation before and I just slowly stopped talking to them and was more pleased with my new group of friends. Just try to be nice and not start a seen. Maybe they will understand if they ask you one day.

This exact situation happened to me before Christmas! (Including the whole ballet thing!) What I did was to slowly distance myself from my old friends; I joined clubs that took up time and found excuses to spend less time with them. Then I began to hang out more with my ballet friends until eventually I just spent my lunches/weekends with them. I'm a lot happier now too :)



Best of luck!

properly, you will ought to destroy out from this guy or woman. She particularly has a psychological ailment if she's dark and depressing, and places down your friends and self photograph. do no longer distinction some ingredient only because of the fact the of her. considering that she lives some distance away, only cease answering her telephone calls, and contact her a week in the previous than she is composed of discuss with, and tell her approximately the motives why you do no longer desire her around. clarify to her which you're particularly now no longer into dark and supernatural powers/depressing events. tell her that she has been an extremely undesirable effect on your life. only tell her which you do no longer prefer to be on the equivalent direction as her, so it extremely is impressive which you only all will ought to easily decrease bonds. you're that friendly woman who wears Abercrombie, do no longer enable her configure your self photograph, because of the fact the you will finally end up dark and depressing your self. don't have sympathy for her, if she's being a foul effect on your life. Do what's appropriate for your self. properly, I desire it extremely is assisting kiddo! :)

Like she said. They're not really your friends then. If you don't want to talk to them about it then just start drifting. Maybe not starting the convostations, and making it short when they do? Idrk. But I DO BALLET too! Have since I was 4. 10 years :)

Slowly leave them along. You don't have to say anything too them just stay to yourself and show them that you dont want to be bothered. They should get the clue. If not just hang with your friends the one whom you are in common with.
