Do you need good ‘detachment game’ to stop being friends? Meghan’s ex-BFF thinks so

‘Detachment game’ is the skill of knowing when and how to call time on a friendship – but few of us would call ourselves experts in it, writes Olivia Petter. But it might be just as important to think about as when you break up with a romantic partner

even the okay ones do it to a degree and it's clear when you make it into their in-group you're part of a hierarchy and if you can't 'behave yourself' they will start having a fight with you

I dealt with that when I was younger. Never again. It's particularly grating when they have shitty friends that hate you but you're expected to be the house nigger who never crosses them. My refusal to do that spelled the end of that "friendship". I know one woman who doesn't do the social hierarchy shit (at least with me), and I wouldn't put up with it if she did.

I learned this as a kid. I wouldn't kiss ass so they'd try to harass me. Eventually they got a guy to hit me and I beat his ass and physically fought them off when they kept trying to save the dude from his whipping.
