Hi, I know various people who I'd consider as friends however after checking out some of the articles on TRP and much thinking, I feel as though it is time to cut ties to a select few people who I now realise are nothing but a hinderance to my life and growth.

My question is this: how do I do this without being a cunt? Don't get me wrong, I'm not concerened with the repercussions of having zero contact with these people ever again (I will be better for it in the long run) but I don't wish to be nasty about it either...unless that really what it takes.

I have all of the options open to me, so should I just completetly ignore and forget them from now, should I talk to them and basically say i don't want to know them any longer? I don't really know if there's a particular way to do this.

Thanks.
