This was me and my old bestie. She genuinely loved me. She's an amazing, kind, sweet, fantastic person. But I never actually enjoyed being around her or spending time with her, it was so exhausting. We were just too different. She's a legit angel. It just felt like WORK to me. But for her I was her rock, her anchor, her moon and sun and stars and therapist and life guru. I ended up ghosting her in a really bad depressive episode like 2 years ago and we haven't spoken since :(

Nothing wrong with that dude! You’re never obligated to be anybodies friend. I think the best thing to do in this situation is probably avoid them. If they ask why you tell them this exactly. But they probably won’t and the friendship will naturally fizz out.
