Losing a friend can be a difficult loss, and it's okay to feel sad — but remember to focus on what you learned from this friendship and how it can help you be stronger and wiser moving forward.Healthy friendships are a two-way street. You get something out of the relationship, and you also give your friend something too — fun times, emotional support, or perhaps a golfing partner.
So while it's up to you to decide when to call it quits, here are some signs your friendship might be toxic:Your friend asks for favors all the time without acknowledging your effort. Your friend violates the boundaries you set.In some cases, you might decide the best way to cut a friend out of your life is to just stop returning texts or calls. Within a few weeks, they may get the hint and stop trying to contact you.
In these cases, you may need to have a conversation that says, "This is over." While you might tell a romantic partner, "I'm breaking up with you," those words probably don't feel appropriate when you're ending a friendship. So what can you say? Being rejected by a friend often brings out some childish and unhelpful responses in people. Keep in mind that they're responding that way because their feelings are hurt. It doesn't mean it's OK for them to be mean, but keeping this in mind may prevent you from getting defensive back. And their negative reaction may reinforce to you that you're making the right choice.
