Hi. So... Um, I'm having a problem, and I can't seem to figure it out, so I would appreciate help. Basically, I have this friend(?) who goes to my ballet class. We're also in the same school. I think she's a toxic friend. She talks to me and acts like we're friends when she doesn't have anyone else, but once someone comes along that she likes better, she shuns me aside, not wanting or liking me anymore. She literally told me to go away once one of her actual friends came along, and she keeps trying to steal away one of our mutual friends by telling her to come and talk with her friend group, but then tells me to go away and leave them alone if I come. So, you see my dilemma? She is a toxic friend, but I can't just not associate with her anymore, because we go to the same school, have mutual friends, and go the same ballet class. I don't know how to stop being friends with her, but I'm worried if I continue like this, it will just hurt me. I'm not very good with emotions, like, at all, so I don't know whether she actually just wants to be a friend, but has too many, or if she is just using me. My emotions are very susceptible, because I rarely use them and don't really understand them. What advice can you guys give me? Please, I need something, because if I keep being friends with her, it will just hurt me more than ever.
