    I am not trolling.

    https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/loose

    Go down to the verb section.

    Loose is both a verb, and an adjective, and nothing I have said is incorrect.

    You can very much ‘loose’ a friend, as in… to project them away from you, or put more distance or slack into the proverbial rope that connects you two together.

    Sure, probably OP made a spelling mistake, but the comment I am responding to is saying that the usage is more or less entirely unjustifiable.

    It isn’t.
