    I've been searching Google for advice and couldn't come up with anything! I had a toxic friend who I drifted away from purposely over 5 years ago. I talked with her briefly maybe about two years ago and it was the same old BS so I didn't pursue it. No contact since then, however, recently she's been ringing me. I'm in and out of the country with work a lot so its a few calls and voicemails when I'm back saying she wants to catch up for a chat and gossip. She's quite forceful and I just don't know how to say that we've drifted too much and now its just plain weird. I realise I'm being rude just ignoring her but I don't know what to say!! I'm back at the weekend and would like to contact her and tell her the truth but I don't actually know what way to phrase it..any advice?

    Don't bother......life's too short.

    Let her call away and leave messages - just ignore them.

    I'd do this, she'll hopefully eventually get the message. If you bump into her by accident just tell her you've been far too busy, and you feel you've outgrown the friendship anyway. People like that are normally very pushy, and don't like not being the centre of drama of some sort or another. Any which way you deal with it she'll be nasty about it I think, but you owe her nothing, just ignore her.
