I genuinely want to cut this friend off but I don’t know if I’m being too harsh. She’s not a bad person, but she constantly interrupts me at the worst times and expects me to drop everything for her. Like today, I was literally in the middle of writing an essay during class, trying to lock in, and she just walks in and starts venting about her life. No awareness at all. I’ve tried saying “I’m busy” before, and she immediately jumps to “oh so you hate me?” and makes it a whole thing. It’s exhausting. I don’t have the energy to manage someone else’s reactions every time I need basic space.
At this point I actually enjoy being alone more because I can focus on myself and get things done. I have stuff I want to achieve and I don’t want to keep getting pulled out of it.
The problem is I don’t want to hurt her, but I’m also getting really frustrated and lowkey resentful. Am I wrong for wanting to distance myself or even cut her off over this?
