I guess I'm just not as used to walking away from situations. Getting better at it, but this is a "big one" for me to walk away from.
I feel more relaxed about this, I appreciate the feedback guys. I realize it's not necessarily the huge deal I'm making it out to be. I was half expecting "don't ever burn bridges! Real friends area always there for each other!" I had those ideas in my head and they were making me feel guilty. Less so, now. 
I really feel a huge wave of relief washing over me, glad I asked the question. |
I think the fact you have struggled with this and experienced some feeling of guilt only demonstrates that you are a good friend and a decent human being. I don't think it is a small deal by any means. Losing/letting go of friendships has been one of the hardest things for me to accept as a part of life. I'm 25 and it is only in the last couple of years that I have learnt to be more philosophical about the letting go of some of my childhood friendships.
