I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again – best friend breakups are worse than romantic breakups. Because there are things you can say to your best friend or do things with them which you can’t do with your parents or partners. While there is this void you might feel, letting go of friends who weren’t good for your emotional wellbeing is important.
And women online on Reddit have been speaking about this. Sharing rather painful reasons of why they drifted apart from their best friends, they discussed how toxic friendships can have a negative influence on how you behave and think.
For example, in some friendships, there might just be one person who is the ‘giver’ and when the giving stops, the friendship also fizzles out.
If your friend has a lot of negativity within them, it will rub off on you too.
Sometimes, when people grow up, they grow apart.
When a boyfriend told your best friend to stay away from you and they actually did.
When they are projecting their own insecurity on to you.
This one hurts real bad.
Problematic friends need to be called out.
When the jealousy gets too much…
Sometimes, they just don’t match your vibe.
Maybe it’s for the best that people drift apart. How else will one grow?
