5 Reasons to End a Friendship

#1 - User

Not all ‘friends’ have good intentions, and those that only want to use you are certainly ones you need to stop hanging out with. Sure, loaning a little money here and there and doing a couple favors when you can are needed in a friendship. But, when you are the only one doing these things, you need to question what the other person is willing to do for you. People that are always there for you are the ones worthy of doing favors for. However, the ones that just need you for a minute and disappear afterwards are the ones you need to push out of your life.

#2 – One-sided

It’s very tiring when you are the only one that is calling your friend to meet up. If that is the case, you should really start questioning if the friendship is one-sided. You can make sure by restraining yourself from calling the other person for several days and see if your friend is going to call you up.

#3 – It’s Not Fun Anymore

Uni jokes get pretty old when you have three kids, a wife, and a job. The thing is that some people never really get to evolve and promote their social status. You can’t always be a kid and do the same stupid stuff you did as a teenager. If you have decided to grow up, you shouldn’t let your friends hold you back with their childish behaviour.

#4 - Little Contact

Sometimes life forces us to drift apart from our dear friends. However, when we do get a chance to see them, it is simply like no time has passed and we can easily pick up from where we left off. Nevertheless, there are people that we don’t have this kind of chemistry with, yet are still calling you a couple of times a year trying to spend some time with you, although both of you have no idea why. Make things clear by ending the friendship, so there are no awkward and pointless situations in the future.

#5 – Criticism

If your friend thinks you are a nag and can’t take some constructive criticism, it either means two things – that you are best friends or that your friendship is falling apart. Sometimes, a best friend will look at you as a family member and will not change himself instantly because you told him to. However, because he looks at you as someone who is the closest to him, he will always listen. Nevertheless, a best friend will, over time, figure out that even if he thinks you are not right, it is important to change a bad habit if it will make the other person happy. A ‘friend’ who doesn’t listen nor change over time is a friend you need to let go for good.
