I lied to get rid of my lifelong best friend
Do you miss being friends with them?
Yes I miss him every day I'm alone
Even if you don't want to be around someone you shouldn't lie to them. Lying to people will only make people distrust you in the future.
I just lie because I don't want to hurt their feelings.
I think that it is important to tell the truth. You friend might forgive you if you can prove that you can be more honest.
