How do I drop a friend politely?

If you wanna do this politely to keep a reputation or something, then start distancing yourself and that's about it.

Decline their invitations politely and don't invite them to things either. If you see them somewhere be your normal self and don't bitch about it. That's the best strategy for what I think you want.

Apparently get married, that's what a lot of my friends did

I’ll give you some insight on things I’ve learned through my personal experiences. I’ve always been a pretty well known guy in my circles, but there’s only a handful of other fellas I fuck with. Many of them are faggots, too beta, too bitchy, too boring, etc to be in my inner circle. But it’s not smart to make enemies or burn bridges, so I keep those guys at a good distance, as acquaintances you could say.

That way if I ever need them or if it’s convenient, we’re on good terms, we can kick it for a day, whatever. But I’m not always around them because I know I’m the average of the 5 people I’m around the most.

Don’t ever give them the impression you don’t like them. Keep them accessible. You don’t hangout with them not bc you don’t fuck with them, you’re just too busy. Keep them thinking that

There's no polite way to lose a friend.

You either have a blow up or slowly lose touch. Just limit your interactions with them more and more until you don't hear from them anymore.

You're over complicating things. Stop calling them and inviting them out. If you you don't want to see them, say you're busy when they invite you out

Shit man people are too soft now a days! If someone disrespects you next time u see him tell him to fuck off(unless u can’t physically defend yourself) he had no consideration for ur feelings so why should u have for him!
