Hey - I was recently in a similar situation. Friend of 8 years, roommate, etc.
His arrogance, narcissism, having to be right about every single little thing (impossible to be wrong), built so much toxicity I could not take it anymore. I had to cut him out of my life, it was so toxic to me as a person.
I'm about three months out from it. I feel better. I feel less anxiety, he isn't stressing me, etc.
Now I can better focus on my own problems and continue building myself to my best self.
Hope your journey is going well!
- gerbilly 8y agoIt's been a long time so I'm ok, thanks for asking. People who haven't been in that kind of relationship can't really know what it's like. You really do have to sever all ties with a person like that. You can't be in 50%, they demand all of you and more. It sounds like you did the right thing.
- DigiMortal 8y agoYup, came to the conclusion it has to be severed ties. And I really look for the best in people too What helped me was when my best friend growing up committed suicide a few months ago, when I was home I kept thinking how amazing a person he was, how nice, how pure and caring.... Then I thought about this person I was spending all my time with, the opposite kind of person. It made me sad to lose someone so good, I decided I would cut that other person out because they were so bad. IF that makes sense...
