#michaeljackson #slideaway #shortfilm We tend to think about breakups in friendships as happening because of some kind of big betrayal,” In those situations, it’s easy to pinpoint the reason the friendship ended, and communicate it to the other person. But more often than not, friendship breakups are the result of people gradually growing apart, which means there isn’t a standard conversation that ensues. The relationship may need to come to end because of factors outside of the friendship — like distance or differences in lifestyle — or because one or both friends have strained the bond by mistreating the other.
Whatever the reason is for the dissolution of a friendship, the common thread is that we often don’t know if we should have a conversation with that friend, And if we do decide to address it, it’s hard to know what to say.
Say you try to reach out or maybe had a talk or two but felt like you gotten no where or you went full circle again. Making plans....breaking them...the simple things they use to do you realize they don't. You eventually shut down and when that happens the other person picks up on it. You become motionless, you exist but your not there at the same time.
You’ll actually go through a bit of a grief process with it, and that’s okay. If you feel like you can’t change the toxic/non toxic friendship situation, it’s okay to mourn it, move on and find relationships that are much more satisfying.”
After a friendship breakup, it’s common to feel anger, sadness, loneliness and anxiety about seeing the person and fearful of mutual friends picking sides; Understanding that all of these feelings are normal will help you start moving forward.
What it all comes down to is cutting yourself some slack if you did all you could do. Maybe you feel they don't care or don't think much of it....maybe they actually don't. Some of us love and care harder than others. It is what it is. NO COPY RIGHT INTENDED FAIR USE ONLY!
