<human>: I have this friend, let's call her "Taylor." Taylor and I have known each other for about 7 years or so. We used to work together so we saw each other a lot and a big part of our friendship was venting about work and frustrating coworkers etc.

I got a new job and we haven't been hanging out as much. I realized recently that every time I see her, I leave feeling worse. It's really hard to put my finger on it but I think what it comes down to is just that she feels very competitive and judgemental. I feel like she wants to hear about bad things in my life so she can feel good about her life, and she's not interested in hearing about things that are going well. She also is just like a deeply angry person, and I realize now that pretty much the only thing she's able to talk about is all the people she's mad at and how awful they are. I also have started to get the impression from mutual friends that she probably talks like that about me when I'm not there.

So it wasn't any one big thing but I'm realizing that I feel worse when I talk to her and I don't think I want to be friends with her anymore. But her wedding is coming up, along with all the associated events (bridal shower, bachelorette party). 

I'm wondering if I should just call off the whole friendship now, save myself the hassle of attending these events and save her the cost of me being at the wedding. Or is that just way too harsh, and I should wait until after the wedding and do a slow fade out?

Give me a shortened version of the text
<bot>: I think I'm ready for a friend breakup, wondering if I should do it now and be up front about what's happening or wait until after her wedding and just fade out.
