I moved to a new city a while ago and used bumble bff to meet new people and make friends. I’ve never really had those relationships where we need to be talking 24/7 or seeing each other all the time. Other than college roommates. Im definitely more of an introvert. But I do like to go out and have been trying to do more in a new city. This one girl I met was cool, but honestly she’s becoming a lot for me. She texts me a lot and asks to hangout kinda a lot. Which I didn’t mind a much at first because I didn’t have any other plans, but now it just overwhelms me. Especially because when we do hangout, we barely get to know each other. She mostly just talks about her job or boy problems, some of which she says multiple times because she forgot she told me. or I have to tell her things multiple times because she didn’t listen/remember. Now she’s better, but at first I had to keep telling her I can’t hangout during weekdays because I have a 9-5. It doesn’t help that I’m 23 and she’s 20. Like it doesn’t feel like a real emotional connection or anything. If that makes sense. And I know all relationships are not going to be the same, but this just feels like trying to force something that’s not there. So my question is: how do I breakup with a friend? Or nicely tell her it’s all too much for me? I’ve never straight up broken up with a friend before. I’ve tried to distance myself so far. And she’s a nice girl with good intentions so I feel really bad, but I just dont think we’re on the same page in life right now.

I know this probably makes me sound like a shitty person, but I’m really not trying to! I just don’t want to waste each other’s time and energy but I might be too late on that
