Long story short, I'm probably borderline, according to my therapist. No diagnosis yet.

A friend of mine is going through a really miserable break-up, and the entire circle of his friends are doing what they can to help.

Meanwhile, I broke a promise to this friend and re-established contact with a person who everyone unanimously agrees is a hateful, hurtful jerk. He is beyond angry with me. I believe chances are he probably doesn't want to hang around me anymore. This sucks, but it doesn't suck as much as sitting around waiting for him to just freaking say it already so I can begin to move on. I get that he's distracted by his own pain at present... but I've got compassion fatigue and so does everybody else and I am a little too stony and hurt myself to give a crap about that.

Point being, how do I avoid this ending badly? Something tells me it's not a good idea to burn bridges but from my standpoint the friendship is only hanging on by a thread anyway.

I don't hate my former friend by any means. I'm just a ****up who can't keep promises or friendships and who doesn't deserve to have friends. I just wanna get the painful part over with. Just, argh.

Unbreakable.

Have you talked to your friend about this?

I'm not sure I fully understand the situation or whether your friend has actually expressed he doesn't want to be friends anymore.
