He became a bit extreme with his politics. I don't mind talking economic strategy, but when you start coming off as hateful towards people, I start not wanting to be around you.

#2
He constantly tried to one-up me in conversation. I couldn't have a "win" in life without him trying to talk about how he "won" more. I didn't need it in my life anymore.
#3
My best friend from childhood became a white supremacist. I’m not white. Even his family had no idea what happened to him.
#4
We were great friends in junior high and part of high school. Into early adulthood, he ONLY called me when he needed something. Quit taking his calls.
#5
I am kind of outgrowing them. I like staying in and relaxing with my weekend, and he still gets drunk at the bar at least once a week. We have fun sometimes but I would prefer to just be at my house.
#6
He thought he was too popular for me;
I introduced him to all my friends and I invited him to all the parties I threw. People finally started to acknowledge him and all this ‘new found fame’ got to his head. He started acting all cocky to me and to everyone else and he changed up his attitude, different from when I first met him. He didn’t know many people when I first met him but I dropped him because of his attitude, he’s clearly off without me. I was also at lunch with my other friend once and he was there. He was making plans with the other friend for a lunch on Friday. He looked at me dead in the eye and told me not to come. That really was my final straw. The only reason he thinks he’s popular too is because people laugh at him and at the foolish things he does but he thinks they are laughing with him.

Finding out he had been, in the least, snooping in my best friend's house while house sitting and reading my best friend's wife's journal.
#10
Was friends with a dude for like 15 years, played in a band with him, drank every other weekend. Then I saw him on Creep Catchers. Haven't talked since.
#11
They stole a pushbike and told our neighbours it was me that stole the bike and they kept saying things like the Australian Aboriginals were neanderthals that needed to be skull-dragged into the 20th century.
#12
I was his only friend. Other friends had ghosted him and now I know why. No boundaries and depended on me for all of his social outlet. It was too much.
Not only did I want to end the friendship, I did end it.
#14
We kept making plans to hang out and when the time came he was always too hung over... So I stopped reaching out... Sucked though
#15
He got hyper political and just became a drag to be around because he tried to steer every conversation back to it.
#17
Letting his depression and insecurities run wild. Making everything a competition that would weigh on his self esteem most of the time. Just a lot of stuff like that.
