i’m a senior in high school. all of my close friends are juniors. they are always talking about the future and are already planning trips to visit me in college during the fall (i am going to an in state school for financial reasons, but my state is big so the trip is a good ~5 hours by car). one of these friends is very type A and is already trying to find a hotel booking and stuff like that. i don’t know how to tell them that i don’t want to continue our friendship past high school. for the record, me and three of these people have been friends since elementary school. we have done everything together but i just feel like i’ve outgrown this friendship and am ready for new things. these people were never really “my people” i know this sounds sad to say considering we were friends for so long. i simply feel indifferent about these friendships and these people. i have considered talking to them about it but, they would most likely tell other mutual friends or even their parents, which i don’t want. i don’t want drama in the last month of school. so, would i be the asshole if i ghosted them cold turkey once school ends in june?
