Toxic Friendship, help!!!

hi everyone, i could really do with some advice😔 I’ve been stuck in a toxic friendship for what must be coming up to 6 years now. My ‘friend’ always makes nasty, demeaning comments aimed at me, and consistently highlights my insecurities. She gets annoyed if I even do the slightest thing wrong, and never asks how I am. I constantly have anxiety whenever I get a message from her pop up on my phone. I don’t like the person I become when she’s in my life. I’ve started hiding big life updates from her because I just have no desire to tell her for fear of criticism. And then when she asks, I’m afraid to tell her because she will know I’ve been hiding it 😢 Usually, I go out of my way to avoid doing things with her, but I think from her end she believes that I’m the toxic one because I’m drifting away from her without any explanation. The truth is, i’m the world’s biggest people pleaser and I’m really at a loss of what to do to break off the friendship, I’m just terrified of her reaction and all the drama and fall out 😢 But at the same time, I know I deserve better and have had enough of her bringing me down! Has anyone got any advice on how to break off a toxic friendship?
