Yesterday, a guy I used to talk to a lot ended our friendship and blocked me everywhere.

I got mad at him because of a dumb joke he made. After that, he told me I was a bad friend because of a misunderstanding, and that I could have handled the situation much better. He sent me a long text explaining all of this, saying he didn’t regret anything and that he still had some good memories of our friendship.

The whole message felt confusing and, at times, passive aggressive. First he talked about how bad of a friend I was, then he started saying nice things. He said he needed to focus on other things, that he didn’t like hurting people, and ended with a simple “take care” like it hurt so much :/

What hurts even more is realizing that he blocked me everywhere afterward. It feels sad how modern friendships can end like that. I didn’t even reply bc every time there was a problem between us, I was always the one trying to make him stay, trying to support him. But his avoidant personality always seemed to be pulling away from the friendship.

I was definitely really angry about his joke, but I don’t think I was a bad friend, to be fair.

I’m letting him go, but I still keep thinking about how easily he blocked me after we shared so many emotional thoughts and conversations together. He was such a nice guy. He understood me well, and he could read me better than most people. That’s what makes this feel so confusing. Part of me is angry, part of me is hurt, and part of me is left with this strange, empty sadness.
