I've always really struggled with what to do when it feels like a friendship is holding me back instead of helping me. I always have an urge to be self-destructive and try to annihilate the friendship so I can't go back, but 1) I don't want to do that anymore and 2) it doesn't actually work, I'll try to come back anyway when I'm feeling bad enough

So I feel like I need a better way to do it. Here's the options I thought of

A) formal "I don't think we should talk anymore"
B) don't start conversations and just gray rock with them/never commit to plans and explain the situation if they ask what's up
C) just fuckin ghost 'em

I feel like A seems like the most "right" thing to do but I know it'll start a huge argument I don't want to deal with and it also feels scary and final in a way that freaks me out. C definitely seems bad to me for long-term friendships. So I'm leaning towards B or some other option in that space
