So for context, this is a girl (I'm a girl as well) that I've been acquaintances with for 1.5 years.
It's also met within a video game, so no I don't know most of these people in actual life. ( I do know the identities of some people in my guild, but this user happens to be one of the more private members)
I feel that most "friends" in this video game are akin to classmates who share a common goal. Most people get along well for purposes of the game, but if the game were to shut down or there's no intense activity in it, who knows whether we'd be still in touch. But if the bond is there, people can even meet up or talk over virtual spaces about other games.
She hasn't done anything explicitly wrong as of recent, but I just realized that I don't really want to be in the same guild as her. I also don't want to spend more time with her, but given the situation- it's unavoidable because we're in the same guild and hence discord server. I can't just "phase out" or "ignore texts" like real life friendships do. I would feel more at peace without her and I want to try forming new friendships with someone else. As a person, there's nothing wrong with her, but I also am indifferent and would rather not have been sad if I had never met her. But I admit these are all very harsh thoughts and should be left unsaid
There was a situation where 10 months ago, she blocked and left all Discord servers we shared, a day after I said something which upset her. She eventually crawled back a month later and I moved on. This was the last major what I consider fallout. Our friendship has improved as we do hangout occasionally in group settings, playing other games or watch tv shows together. I have also confided in her about light troubles or vents.
I would not feel sad if she chose to end friendship with me, however she is unlikely to do this. I do want to avoid the emotional baggage and ugly fighting that might ensue as we're both pretty charged people who take things personally (I'm lowk autistic, adhd, and ocd)
I could just, block her, kick her, close the screen, and what would she do about it. However, it is sort of a community driven game. Though I likely won't have any serious consequences socially if I cut contact cold turkey, I don't want to possibly leave a record nor be on bad terms.
Anyways to wrap this up, I want to cut ties with someone on a video game I've sort of known for 1.5 years, but my style of going about parting ways is being blunt. "Hey I thought about it and I want to part ways". I know that I want to stop being acquainted with her, but I don't know how to go about it.
