Thinking about ending a friendship but terrified of the aftermath

Support

Me (f) and my freind (f) , we’re gonna call them Alexis.

I’ve been friends with Alexis since freshman year of high school after I broke up a friendship with someone else. We’re seniors now and I’ve noticed something about Alexis. She has a very bad attitude. When I talk with her sometimes, even just normally, she always has a smart remark that is completely uncalled for. Im going to tell two major things that have happened between us that has made me come to the conclusion I no longer want us to be best friends anymore.

Last September me and her are in class. We’re doing a worksheet for the beginning of the year. It’s a personality worksheet. You answer and bunch of questions to figure out what personality you get. As I’m finishing up the assignment, I say to her excitingly, “ look I got this personality, that’s crazy, it matches exactly who I am!” She says “ you did it wrong.”

For a little clarification. I’ve noticed that she has this thing where she always has to be right. I can point out to her that the sky is blue and she’ll counter back, “ well actually it’s not blue, it’s turquoise!” Or I’ll say “we don’t have school on Christmas.” Alexis -“Well actually the hours leading up to chirstmass we have school” It’s very 3rd grade stuff and it’s EXHUSTING to talk to her when her responses are filled with proving me wrong.

Getting back to the worksheet and assignment. I say to her, “No, I think I did it right, and even so , it’s not that serious, the personality matches me exactly.”She keeps going on “you did it wrong 😑 “ I ignore her. When everyone’s done with their assignment, the teacher puts up all the personalities that were on the paper on the board with the pros and cons of each one. Alexis starts reading off cons of the one I said I got. “ irresponsible, lazy, etc” I look at her completely lost and confused. Why is she going back and forth with me on a literal WORKSHEET? It’s not that serious. After I finished being angry that day over that very 3rd grade response from her over an assignment.. I started to think, what kinda friend does that? It made me feel like she wanted to make me feel bad.

Another incident after this one was when we were at a college convention and I said “hmm all these colleges, I’m confused on what to do.” And she said to me “ ohh so you still don’t know what you want to do… 😒” and the way she said it , it was as if she was looking down on me or something because I didn’t know what I wanted to do after highschool, instead of just saying “well it’s okay you don’t know what you want to do yet.” I’ve been pretty insecure about career paths so when she said that it made me even more insecure.

Another issue was when I wanted to join this sport she was in because it looked like they were having fun and my other friends were joining. Anytime I would ask her about it she would say “oh we’re full.” Oh ok, no problem. After this My other friends said they were joining. I thought “oh , but Alexis said it’s full🤔” even when I talk to the coach sometimes, she says “well if you come to practice we might be able to get you on the team.” Oh ok , so why didn’t my FREIND of all people let me know I still had a chance to join?

It’s weird stuff like this that I’m just tired of. She just fell out with a freind of hers over personal stuff, and I’ve seen the way she treats people she’s not friends with anymore and I just DONT want to deal with it. But I’m also not the type of person to stick around someone I don’t like. I don’t know how to go about this situation
