It can be difficult to end a friendship, but it's important to be honest and respectful in your communication. You could say something like:
"Hey [Friend's Name], I've been doing some thinking and I feel like it's best for both of us to go our separate ways. I appreciate the time we've spent together, but I think it's time for me to move on. I wish you all the best in the future."
Remember to be kind and understanding in your message, as ending a friendship can be a sensitive topic for both parties.

Be Clear and Direct:
- "I've decided that our friendship is no longer working for me." - "I need to take some space from our friendship."
Explain Your Reasons (Optional):
- (Only if you feel comfortable) "I've noticed that we've been drifting apart and our conversations feel forced." - "I've been feeling uncomfortable with some of your behaviors/actions."
Set Boundaries:
- "I need some time to focus on myself and my relationships that are more fulfilling." - "I'm not available for hangouts or conversations for the foreseeable future."
Express Appreciation (Optional):
- "I appreciate the time we've shared, but I believe it's best for us to move on." - "I wish you all the best in the future."
End the Message:
- "Thank you for understanding." - "I hope you can respect my decision."
Additional Tips:
- Be polite and respectful, even if you're ending the friendship over negative reasons. - Send the message at a time when both of you are likely to be calm and receptive. - Avoid being confrontational or blaming. - Consider giving your friend some time to process your decision before reaching out again (if necessary).
