- Them not responding to you on social media but does to everyone else
- them not responding to you for hours/days
- them not wanting to hang out (if real life friend)
- you not feeling like you can tell them secrets anymore
- you not feeling that friendship care, love and respect anymore.
I'm going through it too. Still. With two people. Hate it but gotta do it.

It's sad because every sign you listed this person does. I've tried to keep the friendship going because it's been like 4-5 years but they legit do all you said so i guess it is time to end it. I'm sorry youre going through it still too. I hope it gets better

@skydream 4-5 years since you became friends?
Its hard. Especially with mine because I've been friends with one for 12-13 years, and friends with the other for about 10-11 years.
But I've had longer friendships than that that have ended. So i know it happens and how much it hurts. But sometimes it hurts more to hold on.

@Courtlynn Yeah she was one of my first friends on twitter and then came and stayed with me for 2 weeks.
That's true, lately i think it hurts more because losing so many close friends at once like i already lost 2 best friends one of 10 years and I thought this one would last especially cause the tattoo and things like that but you're right it hurts more to hold on sometimes

Ending frienship is one hard thing to do but if you feel that your friend have betrayed you, intentionally for his/her gain you must end your friendship with him/her beacuse once trust is compromised it will be easier to for him/her to do it again.

That's true. Thinking about it they broke my trust a while ago and i kept giving them chances and now they do it with no second thought, you are right thank you

I don't think there is any clear sign.
Friends/friendships aren't my strongest point...I had to get rid of all my current friends at one stage in life.
I'd say if they're pulling you down then get rid...if they are FB type friends just leave them there.

That's true. It's not just a fb type friend it's a girl i was once best friends with and let stay with me for a couple weeks. That's a good sign though.

I've burned bridges before and the most common reasons I consider are:
- if my friends become too demanding (unrealistically) of my time without the consideration that I have a life too (except if my friend is either depressed or really going through a tough time. I can be selfish this way.
- if a friend disrespected me
- If a friend betrayed me
- and many other things like miscommunication or no communication at all.
But really, if you have lots of friends, who needs those? I mean, a person can only stretch him/herself so much. Maybe the best way is to keep the real (few) ones and be rid off of the others.

Sorry to hear that. I've had to do it many times over the year. There just come a time when you know things are headed that way.
