Cutting ties with my ex

okay so ima just leave here what i had typed in My Notes for him, which is what i’m planning to send. Please let me know if this comes off as too rude or selfish. it’s just really hard for me to be his friend because, overall, i feel like we don’t even click as friends. and i feel like it’s even harder to break the news to him because 1) he fell in love with me when we’re dating, but i unfortunately didn’t and i couldn’t. idk why. and even though i tried, those feelings just never came.

and

2) he has clinical depression so i’m worried for his mental health and how he will react. i still care deeply about him and want nothing but the best for him.

also if you have any suggestions on what i should add on or anything, feel free to comment that below. thank you for your time.

ummm hey there

okay so i did want to say something and sorry if this is just like, all of the sudden? but i did want to say that i don’t think our friendship is going to work out. at least for now. i’m sorry. and trust me, (although i’m pretty sure you know this by now) you’ve been a great friend to me. it’s just that... even though everything that we’ve been through, i still feel like i can’t be your friend. and i don’t know, it’s just really hard for me to be your friend knowing what we were and well, specifically your past feelings, and well my lack thereof. i’m just not comfortable being your friend. i hope you understand and i just really felt like i should express myself with honesty. With what i think a friend is or should be, i don’t think i qualify to be that. and i’ve said this before, how i’m a terrible friend to you, and honestly just the fact that i’m typing this up just proves that point even further. i really don’t have any negative feelings or thoughts about you, this is just the way i feel about us. i would really appreciate it if you don’t hit me up anymore and just give me some space. i’m really sorry if this causes any negative feelings for you. even though i’m typing this i really don’t want to hurt you. but i’m also trying to keep myself in mind and thinking what’s best for me.
