I have done it twice, I believe! Both in college, and not at the same time. Never been in touch with either of them again.

I've distanced myself from a somewhat toxic friend, but luckily she lives in another state and doesn't come to visit very often. I will see her (if she asks) when shes in town though.

I have had a few toxic friends in my life. They were all really hard to get out of my life, but easy to keep away once gone. Now I just try and avoid people like that.

Yeah, I've distanced myself from toxic people. I distanced myself an entire yarn store where I went for Wednesday night knitting because it proved to toxic during my pregnancy. I just didn't need to go somewhere I didn't feel comfortable anymore.

Yes, when I was a few years out of college. We'd been "friends" since we were in elementary school, but she'd become one of those people you are only friends with because you've known them for so long, not because you actually like them! I finally told her I'd had enough and we haven't been in touch since then...I think that was probably 4 or 5 years ago.

Yep!! One of them changed and we became friends again. She's great now!

Yeah, I've done it once. I still feel bad about it, but it was better for us both.

He cut himself off of us in June and we haven't gone back so far. Honestly it hurts but it feels freeing at the same time.

Yes. She tried to contact me for favors afterwards but I politely declined.

Yes, recently (like, last month). I feel so much better. I never realized how strongly negative she always was.

Yep and I'm so glad she's out of my life. She was so so so bad for me.

Yep, we intentionally (on my part) grew apart. The funny thing is DH is good friends with her little sisters husband so now we couple hang out with her sister. I still see her on occasion at events for said couple friends and we're polite but not close. I couldn't support her relationship any longer.

Yes, a few that I hungout with in college (we hungout all together) they were toxic and bad influences so in order to make better life decisions I had to cut them out. I ran into one (the one I was closest with) a few weeks ago when we were both tailgating for a football game & we did the typical "let's catch up and get dinner" but sadly I don't have any desire...and frankly in her state at the time, who knows if she even remember seeing me.

Yep. One in college, and one last year. I cut the college friend out abruptly, and the other was a slow fade-out. That one was sad because she had been a friend since we were little kids! I just realized it was very one-sided.
