6 Signs It’s Time to Let Go of a Friend

Friendship is something we all desire, and having great friends definitely makes our lives meaningful, They are often the people in our lives who make us better.

So why is it that we are so tormented by certain friendships? Some fizzle. Some go sour. Some just grow apart.

 

There are signs, voluminous signs, that we often pay no attention. So today, I want to share with you six that might mean a friendship has run its course.

 

1. You are no longer okay with the quality of their characters and lack of unity and trustworthiness.

2.You have very little that feels good about the relationship.

If the friendship isn’t adding to your life, then it’s time to dedicate your time to those who do lift you up. Its fruitless.

3. You always do all of the work.

If your friendship is one-sided, then it might be time to re-evaluate. But it’s important to remember that good friendships sometimes shift to support one person over the other, depending on the season. So be honest with yourself and ask, Am I always doing all of the work, or am I doing all of the work right now?’.

 

4. You can’t truly be yourself.

If you feel like you need to be someone else when you’re around this person, there is a fear that they don’t accept you for who you really are.

5.There are trust issues.

If you don’t have trust, you don’t have a friendship.

6. They are immature.

There is no room for immaturity in friendships. If someone plays games, gossips or is unable to be an adult when it comes to your friendship… it’s time to move on

 

 

If you read this and realize that there is someone in your life you need to distance yourself from, what do you do then? You have a couple options.

Sit down and explain to them directly that you don’t want to continue being friends. However, this is a tough approach and can sometimes cause more damage than good. In my experience, one of the few times this approach is necessary is when the other person has truly hit rock bottom and they need to understand the risk of losing you as a friend.

Slowly allow things to drift apart. Just let the friendship progress into nonexistence.

I hope that by sharing these six signs, I have shed some light on a particular relationship you have
