Leaving Negative Friends

[ice]

Hi, Fastlaners,

My best friend called The Millionaire Fastlane a "scam".... of course, he didn't read the book. (And entrepreneurship is far from a scam obviously.)

I've been friends with him for 4 years and I spend about 3 hours a week talking to him at least. He is full of negative ideas like he's a victim, he's unlucky, etc.

Of course, he doesn't do anything to change that.

I just decided that I was tired of his negative dump week after week. I've listened to him for four years and he has been saying the same thing all that time. Naturally, he is free to choose his life path........ but I just don't want to listen to that negativity anymore.

So I cut all contact with him. It's harsh because someone with his negative mindset needs all the support they can get, but he doesn't want to change anything..... and I don't want to listen to that victim mentality.

I feel guilty for dumping his friendship, but I don't want to throw a pity party anymore.

Have any of you done the same? What are your thoughts on the situation?
