Discover If It’s Time To End This Friendship With This Powerful Secret
Unless you have fear of commitment, if you are asking yourself if it is time to end this friendship, it probably means it’s time. Our society makes people believe someone has to have done something terrible for you to stop being friends with them. Not only is this completely inaccurate but it creates a narrative that you should always make do with what you have instead of striving for better.
You Don’t Need A Clear Reason To End A Friendship
Truthfully, there are so many different reasons to end a friendship. I think the simplest way to figure out if it’s time is to ask yourself if this person brings more good into your life than bad. We all value traits in people differently which is why you shouldn’t stay friends with someone just because others think of them as kind or funny or smart etc. If you value being brave more than being kind that person may not be bringing enough good into your life, and that is okay.
Don’t Settle
Sadly, we have a limited amount of time on this earth which means we should be spending our time with people that bring us joy, inspire us, and make us feel loved. If someone isn’t ticking these boxes, it doesn’t inherently make them a bad person or even a bad friend. It simply makes them not the right friend for you.
There Is No Perfect Friend
We live in a society that believes so strongly in strict categories of right and wrong and good and bad. It has tainted the way we approach relationships. There is not some universally right way to be a friend or be in a relationship. So while it’s fine to ask for advice from others, their opinions are heavily influenced by what they are looking for in relationships not necessarily what you are looking for. Remember it is ultimately your life, your friendship, and your perspective in the end.
