CMST 2010 Chapter : Chapter 10 Journal
Document Summary
I terminated a high school friendship of about 4 years when i was a sophomore. I used the de-escalation messages method in order to end the relationship. We never saw eye to eye and we would bicker over everything. She was very hurtful and toxic so i knew the friendship needed to end because it wasn"t beneficial to either of us anymore. She walked up to me in the hallway during lunch and said that she wanted us to be okay again. I directly told her that this friendship was toxic and needed to end in order to better ourselves. I didn"t say it with an attitude, and i didn"t make any faces in an effort to prevent being hurtful towards her. I was not trying to be hurtful, but the relationship had to end. in the first stage of duck"s model, the intrapsychic stage, i started to consider whether or not my friend and i should continue our relationship.
