I’m not pregnant but I told a friend that I am so she’d listen to me

I’m a college student and my friend, let’s call her Sarah, just had her second daughter. I have never been in a serious relationship, so I have never been pregnant or anything like that. Sarah has always been the type to be present in the moment, so anytime I tried to talk about something that happened recently (such as a fight I had with my boyfriend at the time or my anxiety about my upcoming exams) she’d always tell me to stop worrying about it and just enjoy the present moment. I understand that mindset and it works for her, but it can also be really frustrating sometimes when you need to vent and you can’t get your point across. <br><br>Well, my friend from high school recently started talking to me again. We’re both going to the same college and live in the same dorm building. I was having a lot of trouble adjusting to college and I just felt really down on myself. My friend, let’s call her Jess, had a lot of experience with mental health and so I decided to confide in her about how I was feeling. She immediately told me to focus on the present moment and I felt frustrated again. I got up from the chair I was sitting in and left the dorm. <br><br>The next day, Jess and Sarah were both in the common room. I went over to sit with them and Sarah was breastfeeding her daughter. I asked Sarah about her daughter’s colic and she said she didn’t really know what to do to help her. I said that I had some things that had helped my stomach issues when I was a baby and asked if I could go into her dorm to grab them for her. She agreed, so I went over to her dorm and grabbed some of my baby supplies and headed back to Sarah’s dorm. She thanked me and I asked if I could talk to her for a minute in private. Sarah went into the bathroom and I told her that Sarah was being really insensitive to me and that I couldn’t handle it anymore. Sarah came back out and asked me what I was talking about. I said that I was talking about how she always told me to focus on the present moment and it was annoying. Sarah got very upset and asked me if I’d ever had a traumatic experience that made me this way. I was taken aback by her question, but I knew that if I told her I had no problems with the past then she would just tell me to focus on the present moment again, so I told her I was pregnant. Sarah immediately started asking me questions like “how far along are you?” and “have you told your boyfriend?” I told her I was not pregnant and she got very upset and said some things that I don’t want to repeat here. <br><br>I hadn’t talked to either of these women since then, but I recently got back in contact with Jess and she has been really understanding of me and supportive. I realized I don’t want to be friends with Sarah anymore. Does anyone know how I can politely cut Sarah out of my life?
