Saying goodbye
This post has 237 views
eh… ok I have a huge problem. I usually leave places without saying proper goodbyes to people (that is if I even actually say them). It’s just really hard for me so I usually just stop talking to friends and then leave to whatever new place I will live in. This usually results in friends hating me and me being miserable in the long term. The thing is that I’m leaving in about 10 days and I haven’t even told any of my friends that I’m moving about 5000 miles away… and I don’t want to replay the same scenario again. Soooooo…. how do you say goodbye to people? Also, does anyone have reccomendations as to how to make it easier upon yourself?

party! party! party! its never too late for a party. you don’t have to have it at yours, just tell a bunch of friends to meet you at a restaurant and announce it after a drink or two then bow out.
i too like to just leave. don’t do goodbyes, not well anyway. (not so much because i don’t like them or that they hurt, but more because i don’t see them as a big deal, even though experience has taught me otherwise. its like, i don’t know, going on holiday? moving apartments? why do i need to have a big tralala?) but i think due to my personality my friends forgive me because they know that i meant no harm and that i have the propensity to just up and leave. and they do have the option to visit, its not your fault if they don’t take you up on it.
but tell them, really, even if only 3 or 4 show up
