Friendship Break ups
January 16, 2019 2:13pm CST
Yes, break ups are the worse. Breaking up with your boyfriend/girlfriend is never easy but what about when it comes to friends? Ever had someone you've been friends with for so many years but because of something, you guys needed to cut ties? How do you deal with those friend break ups? What are your experiences?

The very first friend I made when Started my university , he changed suddenly and I stopped taking to him and we broke our friendship. It was quite sad, but I knew one-day we will talk again and gossip but maybe won't party like before. Sadly he blocked me and ignored me too. Sometimes I really miss our friendship and moments we had and shared. I don't regret that I was the one who stopped taking cause insults from the closest people hurt the most. Now, there is no way we are gonna be friends again and I made peace with it. I guess this is life, people come and goes. Time doesn't heal it makes people stronger.

@milkandcookies Yes, sometimes it better to let go. :)

Thank you for telling me about your experience. I always wondered if life just works that way. Where friends that are undeserving are removed from your life one way or another. But you're right, I've always been weak. Hopefully this situation will in fact, help me to grow stronger too :)

Sometimes people just grow apart..but I think if the person is really your friend you should tell them why and not just ignore them..that is cruel and demeaning.

I have no idea how you've hit the nail on the head so perfectly but that is exactly what happened to me, I'm hoping for a response as to why they've decided to cut me off for no reason but for now, still no reply :(

@milkandcookies You may just have to write the person off as not a true friend. A true friend would not treat you in such a manner.

I always try to think of it as growing in different directions. I don't usually wish them ill, but I'm not going to put effort into something that isn't working despite my best tries. So, I go about my life! Sometimes, I've had those kinds of friends circle back around and we try again and other times it is goodbye, but I try to keep it positive so if I run into them again or something bad happens to them, I don't feel badly. Plus, I'm an adult and try (most of the time) to act like one...

I like the way you think! Its definitely mature. Focusing on yourself and your wellbeing first rather than putting your attention to someone that might not even care about you as much. I'm still learning how to adult, thanks for giving me your input

Friends come and go so it does not matter to me.

Very difficult to overcome. I have a sister, so not so much tough for me to get out of it.

Among friends, I try to give them nice advise just to calm them down.. But when some one is sad it is difficult to change their mood
