It's Over
 
How do you know when a friendship is ending?

Mana March 12th, 2018 10:21 AM

Tbh most of my friendships that have ended have slipped away gradually, to the point we just don't speak often and suddenly years go by...

It's a shame, but at least nobodies feelings get hurt this way, I suppose.

What Mana said. When you barely talk to each other, or even see each other, it's likely over. You can try salvaging it by striking up a talk or playdate, but it nothing comes of it, sorry.

All of the friendships ive lost haven't been because of an argument or anything like that. Its just that we slowly stopped hanging out and talking.

Sydian March 12th, 2018 12:42 PM

when they finally stop talking to me

Incineroar March 12th, 2018 12:45 PM

I've only ever had to actually end a friendship exactly once (They were faking having cancer, I kid you not), usually my friendships just break up over time as we don't keep in touch and eventually drift apart.

m8 who started it

Palamon March 12th, 2018 1:46 PM

Sigh, can people take this seriously, please?

....For me, usually if the person doesn't talk to me at all after years have past.
Sometimes, an argument, too.

ZeoStar March 12th, 2018 3:44 PM

Depends on the situation

I've had to move which causes me to lose contact with people

Other friends have graduated and we mostly communicate through text

Bay March 12th, 2018 4:25 PM

When to comes to irl friends, a lot of them I've mostly lost contact or otherwise still communicate through text/online like Zero Star.

There have been less than stellar online friendships where it slipped away more harshly. I know by seeing how we don't communicate as much before, we don't follow one another on various social media sites/instant messaging, and our interests changed. There are some some people I talk too when I first joined forums 2006/2007.

mikey March 12th, 2018 6:26 PM

I've been lucky enough where I've never actually had to end a friendship. All my friendships that have ended did so because of just growing apart. That's life.

Mariposa March 12th, 2018 6:42 PM

When we lose contact with each other and/or just stop talking.

TY March 12th, 2018 9:37 PM

contact dies out, slowly drifing apart

alternatively one could also backstab (this actually happened)

I'm sorry, we were joking around on Discord and I couldn't resist replying what Disturbed didn't dare to ;) I hope our friendship isn't over because of this.
/see how i saved that by being on topic

(in the future, if you truly want to avoid banter and weirdness in threads, using the [Serious] tag is a surefire way as people are required to respect the tag)

I send my friends little cards with a picture of me hanging out with my new friends. In word-art superimposed on the picture it reads "You weren't cool enough". From that moment on, I make the very conscious to never refer to them as a friend in conversation again but instead say acquaintance. I then make sure to also not contact them anymore, and not see if they've contacted me. And if they have, I ignore those text messages, or send a fake message back reading "this number isn't in use anymore. or this phone recognized your number isn't cool enough."

Because I think friendship is all about social mobility. You just climb the shoulders of 'the lessers', as I like to call them. Because friendships end purely by me deciding to no longer put in effort. If they still do, fuck them, I'm moving up in the world. Soon I will be king and they shall bow before my golden sandals.

I think it's very important, personally, to know when a friendship is ended. Because putting a label on it exonerates me. I'm not messaging them, they haven't messaged them for a year, they don't deserve it anymore. And, yeah, sure, I didn't message them either. I have a clock. 219 days, after that done. Don't try to reconnect, hun.

hold the fuck up, girl, we still friends.

alisaie March 13th, 2018 2:20 PM

all my friendships have ended simply by growing apart and not really speaking to one another. because of this i only really have a very very few number of friends and moreso just a lot of acquaintances because i'm reaaally bad at striking up with conversations with anyone say ... three people outside my family. so whatevs ig.

Treecko March 13th, 2018 9:08 PM

Usually when I become more and more distant from them and stop talking to them and texting them and stuff. Usually cause they move somewhere else and we take two different paths. So far I've never had a friendship end because of a fight or falling out or any other toxic relationship.

strangerhypno March 13th, 2018 9:13 PM

Haven't had friends since middle school. sIgns are lack of communication, lack of caring and arguments
