my ex-best friend

so this girl used to be best friends with me in primary school and i remember in year 6 she started to become insufferable if thats the right word. bare in mind this is from the perspective of 10/11 year old me, so from her perspective it might have been different. she always made everything about her and never gave me a chance to talk about my life and my interests. so the friendship was kind of one-sided. so when we got to secondary school (we went to different secondary schools) i finally snapped. and this is where i get in the wrong of things because i knew that i shouldve handled the situation better. i sent her hints of that i wanted to end the friendship and even sent her morse code that i wanted to end the friendship. i wasnt being direct which is what i shouldve done. so after that she blocked me (rightfully so because what the fuck year 7 me) and i got a new phone with a new number so we never talked again.

until i start college because i found out that shes in the same college as me. shes a year above me now because i was in sixth form the year prior and dropped out. i have no idea what course shes doing too. im doing business so i hope that i dont have to see her. if i do see her i think im either gonna:
1) ignore her and walk past her
or
2) acknowledge her and apologise
this is going to be dependent on my mood by the way.

    @toffuna101 Im sorry to hear what happened with that friend and I understand it sucks. I think you did the right thing by ending the friendship back then even if you could have handled it better. I think you have some good ideas though, maybe ignore her until you're in the right mood then maybe you could try to acknowledge her and apologise. I'm not sure what happened with you 2 but if you maybe feel like sorting things out you can. Year 7 was years ago now so hopefully she's moved on but there's no rush to do that though if you don't feel ready. The most important thing is how you feel. Good luck with everything
