      @Amia Brackett When my friend and I were avoiding each other because of me telling her how she hurt me, I felt pretty lonely and sad. She was a great friend other than her having a liking for her online friends over real-life friends...Fortunately, we ended up becoming friends again. There were still times where I felt lonely in conversations with her and her online friends or I felt she’ll put them over her real-life friends. I hope your journey will end up good and you’ll have plenty of friends (real and kind ofc :> )!

      I feel the same way. I can forgive ANYTHING but the prrson has to either apologize or feel guilty in some way or at least show some interest in how he made me feel. For forgiving there needs to be a genuine request first from whoever i am forgiving. Otherwise it is like declaring that it is ok to treat me badly .... It takes the value away from forgiving if you give it too easily, even without asking

      Stop trying to mean something to someone that you didn't mean anything to. Honestly, if someone can just walk away without a truly honest conversation about why?, then they never really cared about you anyway. Don't forget that 2% of the population are sociopaths. That's about 7 million people distributed through out the population of the United States. Some people are just born with their brains wired up weird and that never had anything to do with you. Also, to be unkind and unfair in how you deal with others isn't necessarily good Karma is it. Not that we wish suffering on those who don't treat us well, but whatever suffering you're having from a friendship ending, in the long run, may be minimal in comparison to the suffering that will come to them, that you'll never be there to see. Actions and words have consequences, and the one who walks away may in the end be hurting themselves more than they ever hurt you, simply because they didn't play fair, or they didn't really know what they were doing. In other words, them walking away doesn't necessarily put them in charge, although it can feel like they are at the time; but the seduction they have fallen into is that somehow they think it gives them control, and some very insecure people are addicted to being in control, and this can be very much the illusion. I think generally you should strive to see the truth of things, and be kind to others in your dealings, and the ones who really aren't suppose to be in your life will eventually fall away, and that's a good thing. Keep your on Karma clean and file it. No one person out of the over 7 billion on this planet is worth you been unhappy in your life. No one is that important, including you.

I’m also not exactly sure what she’s trying to do or if I should say something...I just feel bad about all of it, for me and for her.

      @@lollmylifex3 (i am so sorry for the late response) i realized it by how they handled the situation. A few months later ive realized i wasn’t completely in the wrong, because a lot of them act/acted how I did, making everyone at fault in a way. I made it my end goal to not be comparable to them, and alas I think I’ve reached that green zone! Every experience will be different, and the fact that your friend is maturing and realizing her faults is a great start. But, its also not your fault for not speaking up about it. She sounds blindly manipulative (how i was), which is basically where you are manipulative without even realizing it, more than likely feeling regretful soon after figuring it out. This is a learning experience for her, and now that she is figuring it out as long as shes making a genuine effort to change, thats an amazing way to start a new beginning. Most of this all comes with maturity, life experience, etc.

    At 35 my best friend since 1st grade ended our friendship because I suggested she learn to drive. I’ve been her chauffeur for years. I was kind to her in a email, she wrote me back a long email throwing all my issues in my face and saying she’s been tired of me for years and she’s finally had enough. I know now she kept me around to use me... Then she tells me not to write back because she won’t read it. So basically she took away my closure. That part is hard honestly. The thing is all this hatred came out of her for me but I don’t even hate her back.

    Once friendship loses its innocence and turns into a competitive race, then the downfall of that friendship begins. Once one of you gets competitive in relationships, fashion trends and achievements, forget about the innocence of that friendship cos the line has been crossed. Once your friend starts using your weaknesses to make shady comments to make fun of you indirectly, it's over. I lost my best friend of 11 years too. I wish her a happy life. ❤️

I've gotten so used to it that I've somehow learned to not get too close to people and have low expectations of them. It seems that my friends come and go which I guess if fine. I don't like forcing friendships to work out when the other party clearly doesn't want to invest in the friendship. I find that friendships are never permanent. Hence why I call myself a social nomad. It's either they end up leaving or I leave due to circumstances. Honestly, if it weren't for my supportive family, I probably would've lost all sense of hope and purpose. In any case, hope you take care of yourself :)

I don't miss her personality but I miss the sense of belonging. She was in my social group and I stopped being invited to her house for big days. I actually had more fun without it but still, I miss the belonging part. That is what hurts the most. But do I miss her? No not really.

Their just attracted part is energy, fun and self confident in talks and events but just that. And also i recognise, they can not stay in that energy and positivity that long since they dont feel real love in general, they just act it to gain people at first. So their energy can easily over and they go bacj their normal: depressive, selfish and judgemental type.

      I know that the ending of a friendship isn't just one person's fault, but I still feel like it is. Maybe if I hadn't been so adamant about what I believe and what I've experienced, we wouldn't have fought. Maybe if I hadn't told her no we would have made up....

    Yesterday, I came to the painful decision to end a friendship with a woman I dated, because I still had strong feelings for her, and she knew it, and it was apparent that nothing would ever come of it and I would be forever hoping to be more than friends. She was more hurt by it than I expected and it was very hard to hear the pain in her voice. She reminded me of a puppy, and my heart immediately broke. She said she'd always be there if I needed anything, and I hope to one day be in a place where I can reestablish that friendship without expecting anything more. For now, I need to heal without her, as painful as it is.

    It’s been a year and a half and the pain still hurts so deep. It was a friendship that we would be so proud when ppl would ask how long we had been friends for, 20+ years we would say with big cheesy smiles but things changed. I felt a great distance, I felt I was being replaced, I felt I was loosing the person I loved so much. We met in second grade when we were 7 years old, and later found out she lived in the house behind my parents house. Summers would come and we would spend all day everyday together, she was there for every heart ache, other “friends” we had, bad decisions that were made. She moved when we were 18 and we tried our hardest to stay close. It even brought us closer, we called each other sisters. Whenever we had important events in life we were there rooting for each other. She’s been single her whole life ( she’s a very beautiful girl, a gem) and at 23 I settled down. My husband and I got very serious but I still kept her as a priority, he would say if he and her were drowning he knew who would I save. And it wouldn’t be him lol but about 3 years ago she got a new job. And there she met new coworkers, I myself became an introvert and came home early after events such as work, school, parties to be home with my significant other, and at first we both accommodated each other perfectly. Til I noticed a coworker she started talking about more frequently, then the distance came. She wouldn’t reply to messages, I would be left on read but see her fun filled nights out with her coworker on her social media. Then get a “hey sorry I was really busy” reply two days later. Her older sister and I were getting closer as her and I were getting distant. Her sister has a daughter the same age as my nephew, so we always had play dates since they were born. Those play dates got awkward as she was too busy for me. It made me feel like I was an inconvenience, she began dating a guy this coworker hooked her up with, and soon she started going on double dates with them and the distance increased. I decided to convince her to go watch a band play at a venue. That was the last night we hung out. Many drinks and lines of coke later I saw who she was becoming. I had some drinks but no coke, never my cup of tea. She was boasting about her coworker and their relationship. It felt like a knife going through my heart. Apparently the night was a blur for her and she wanted a recap so on her day off she showed up to my house to talk. I filled her in , I guess it must’ve been the way I told her because she asked “ do you like me? I get the vibe that you don’t like me anymore” that was my opportunity to tell her how I was feeling and how much I dreaded loosing her and the huge gapping Hole that’s was forming but I didn’t. I said everything was fine and I would always love her. That was the last time I talked to her. Now her and her coworker are best friends, calling each other Besties. Doing all the things best friends do and making it very public. She filled the void with someone else. I haven’t. It’s like I got dumped for the person I felt the greatest threat by. Like she was slowly showing me to the exit to make room for someone else. It hurts like an unbelievable pain, I’ve talked to a therapist about the pain and he says it’s the process of mourning. Our friendship died so I’m dealing with a death. There is no time limit on healing. I look forward to the day where there is no pain. Luckily my husband and I have known each other for years and he’s been the best support system, I see a best friend in him. I don’t want to replace her because I can’t replace the years but I want to learn to accept and live without her. Hopefully I can find love in a friendship again. Everyday hurts a little less.

      I know what you feel but i also think that this kind of friendship is not healthy. Your husband telling you, if you'd have to save one of the two it would be her... it's a joke but it's also a little problematic. You got married, she was single her whole life and you expect her to stay the same. People are drawn to new people they can relate to in different stages of life. You are married and want to stay home. She is single and wants to go to clubs and drinke coke. It's not a crime to want different things. People change and nothing can stay the same. Let go of the best friend label, let her find her way in life without you and maybe she'll come back someday or maybe she won't. You have soo many things to be greatful for and a husband that loves you. Shift your focus on what really matters ❤

    My best friend ended our friendship because she said she wanted to start a new chapter in life with new friends. When I read that i started crying because we were really close and we were friends for 5 years. It’s about to be a month since this happened, I just remember all the memories we made. She removed me of every social media and blocked me. I never thought this was going to happen. I’ll always miss her and I’ll try my best to move on but I don’t think I will be able to do that. It just hurts a lot.

    I can’t afford therapy and you can’t imagine how this video helps me clear my mind and process my grief. The hardest part is not letting your feeling transform into anger or hate. I know that we can decide how we’re going to learn from situations like these. I lost my best friend and miss her so much. The only thing that’s left is questions on why I’m not worthy enough to be her friend. I say that with tears in my eyes but I know I’ll recover one day

    This comment section was a relief because I wasn’t the only one who is going through the pain. This friendship i had for 4 and a half years was gone. There was a flaw in our friendship and i tried to talk to my bsf because I didn’t like the way he did things and I decided to talk to him and sort things out but he straight up disrespected me and thought my opinion was “useless” “not important” which is utterly disgusting because I respect everything he did and supported him. Seeing him not talk to me after I talked to him and do nothing is just hurting my feelings. He continues his day like our friendship meant nothing in any way. It didn’t affect him.

Sometimes I feel like, there should be some machine that removes memories of a person like in 'Eternal sunshine of a spotless mind' and just use it to remove all the memories of her, I don't want to forget her, but I don't want to live with this misery

I'm finally getting to the point where it didn't affect my life in a major way, but that pain can return in moments that I don't expect. It's just so difficult to keep up the fight of remaining open and forgiving. I continue to take comfort in your words. Thank you!

      Hi Shasta.. You are very talented in the Friendship field. It’s so hard for me to attain the goal of being grateful for everything for her, for eg leaving me. And I find it extremely hard to seeing her posts on Facebook, her unfriending me was heartbreaking. I think I feel less hurt by me blocking her posts on the Newsfeed which I have done. So it will be a good goal spiritually to be happy for her, which I don’t know if I can ever do. But all these ways of how to handle breakups are all true, and those are goals that I will keep in mind . Thank you for creating all these videos. So very helpful!

It helped me come to terms with the wrong doings I did, but it also helped me realize the growth I needed as well. I'm doing a lot better now, we've had closure, and I'm moving on and have growed from that experience. Take it as a learning curve, do better in the future.♥️

After reading some comments and from my own experience, it seems like a lot of friendships end because people don't know how to communicate their needs and look for a solution. I have been that person in the past to impulsively dump friends without even trying to make it work with them, because I was so disconnected from myself and others. These days I am much more connected and I can see a lot of these issues boil down to having poor relational skills

They didn't do anything wrong to me. They never hurt me either. They did not deserve any of the stuff I said to them. I wish to apologize to them one day. I still remember the good times we had together. It sucks, but I'm moving on and forgiving myself.
    If you lose a friend, do not dwell. It will only make it worse. Forgive them for what they did, or forgive yourself for what you did. You will be happier if you forgive.

    My BF when she moved 50 miles away dumped me when she left town. She said things between us wouldn’t change but I knew it would. She never had time for me. I was always the one making the effort, not her. For 26 years we did a lot together and we supported each other. I was there when she had cancer. I was there when her dad died. She was never there for me. When we would go out to eat, it was always where she wanted to go, never me. Since she moved we have spent more time not seeing each other then seeing. When we did see each other it was always when it was convenient for her! I finally told myself enough is enough! I’m not going to be her doormat anymore. There were so many times I needed her but she was too busy to see me or made up some stupid excuse not to see me. She moved away 3 years ago and it still hurts. We were like sisters once. I’ve learned a hard lesson from all of this and that is not become too attached to one person. I don’t think she will ever realize what what she has lost

I obsess about things like this too much, so when someone does something like this, it completely ruins my self esteem.

    it hurts more when things ended just like this. when you’re just not on the same page anymore. when you didn’t state that you’re not friends anymore officially, things just happened. in my case, she changed so much during this year and now i can’t see the person i became friends with, but a stranger. i cant recognize her anymore. we are going out separate ways, we don’t really have things that keep us friends anymore and tbh i do not want to be her friend anymore. but it also hurts, because she was the closest person i’ve ever had, we called each other soulmates and developed an incredible bond for these 2 years and a half, but apparently it wasn’t meant to be. the thing is that no one questioned me what was happening, we just stopped talking out of the blue, after talking all the damn time and being clingy. we are in the same class (that’s how we met actually), we sit on the same desk and we laugh and all, but it’s not what it was and it will never be. we only talk to each other at school because we somehow have to, you know? apart from that, we are some strangers with memories. it’s so complicated. i miss the person she was, she left a void that no one will be capable to feel for a while, but it is what it is. she does stupid things now and talks to other people who are not worth it, went on the wrong way, but it’s all on her now. not my problem. if she wants to ruin herself, she can. i don’t want to be friend with such person.

She officially ended it yesterday and it really made me realize that she had alot of built up resentment towards me and didn’t truly forgive me for a fight we had last year. It’s incredibly painful but very eye opening how fake she acted and how she never once spoke up how she truly felt until it all bottled up and exploded.

Now she has skewed our experiences to fit a narrative, I really see her perspective as unfair but would happily hear her out and apologize where I need to. I cannot understand, apologize, or resolve the conflict. I could feel her distancing me. She ended the friendship over text and then she blocked me. I am heartbroken, confused, angry, sad. I feel helpless to change anything. I must respect her choices. I am baffled, blindsided and sad. It really helps to see this has happened to others.

    I recently experienced a difficult situation where my friend ended our relationship via a text message and subsequently blocked me on all social media platforms. They explained that my emotional dependency on them was overwhelming and frightening them. I acknowledge that I have anxious attachment tendencies, which they were aware of, and I have been actively addressing these issues with my therapist, as they also knew. Throughout our friendship, they often reassured me, calling me a beautiful soul who cared deeply, and encouraged me to embrace my emotions. Despite their words, they chose to end the friendship. This has left me in tears, questioning if someone who understood my struggles decided to leave, what hope do I have for future relationships?
    Nevertheless, I am determined to focus on working through my past traumas and building my emotional self-esteem. I understand that personal growth and healing are essential, and I will persevere in this journey to become a healthier and more emotionally resilient individual
