How to know when a friendship has come to an end

Friendships can be some of the most rewarding relationships in our lives, but sometimes they can come to an end. It can be difficult to know when a friendship is ending, but there are some signs to watch out for.

One sign that a friendship may be ending is a lack of communication. If you find that you and your friend are no longer talking as much as you used to, or that your conversations have become superficial and uninteresting, it could be a sign that the friendship is in trouble.

Another sign is a lack of effort on one or both sides. If one of you is always the one initiating plans or reaching out to the other, it could indicate that the friendship is no longer a priority for the other person.

Changes in behavior can also be a sign that a friendship is ending. If your friend starts behaving differently around you, or if they are no longer interested in the things that you used to enjoy doing together, it could be a sign that they are pulling away.

Lastly, if your friend is no longer supportive or understanding of your needs, it could be a sign that the friendship is ending. If they are dismissive or critical of your goals or interests, it may be time to re-evaluate the friendship.

Friendships can be difficult to navigate, and it can be hard to know when they are ending. However, by paying attention to signs like a lack of communication, a lack of effort, changes in behavior, and a lack of support, you can get a better idea of where your friendship stands.

Remember, it’s okay for friendships to come to an end, and sometimes it’s necessary to let go of relationships that no longer serve us.
