Hey everyone!
At the moment I am in a dilemma where I don't know if i should end a friendship. I want to end it, because I think it would be healthier for me. But it is just so hard, i don't know what I should do or how I should do it. 😣
Did you ever end a friendship? If yes, can you tell me your experiences? And do you have advices?
I am curious about your answers 🙂
Hey, I am in the middle of a difficult situation. I also have to choose between 2 things: the first one is to remain Friends with people that i don't really like anymore or i have to end our friendship and move on. But it is very difficult because I have been good Friends with them for over 4 years. So I also don't know what to do.
Things happen. Friends go and come, this is unfortunately how life is. Nowadays people are a huge disappointment and, if you think ending it would make you feel better due to any reason (I don’t know what’s going on nor it’s my business) - then do it. It’s going to be hard at first, however time will make its course.
Yes, I have ended a friendship; that person would constantly put me down and make me feel like I was worthless. They were also very judgemental, so I felt it would be best if I cut them off.
If someone is affecting your sense of self-worth, or anything like that, then follow your instincts and try to distance yourself from such a situation.

Hi Meltem,
do you see the person regularly?
Have you tried openness and told the person why you think your friendship is toxic? Maybe, he/she might be able to change?
Okay,
when you are really sure about your decision then unfortunately it's a hurtful process for both of you and you have no choice but to quit the friendship. I think you can't avoid the pain.
But when you're done with it you will be proud of having been courageous instead of ghosting the person. It makes your character grow!😍
It sounds like the movie is already over, and you keep watching the credits. There are two ways to end a toxic friendship. First, let it naturally fade out. Latter, confront him/her in a fearless manner. Keep the argument balanced, nor too aggressive, neither too defensive. Speak your mind out. Some short pain is way better than a life time headache.
List the pros and cons on paper and weigh in on what is good and bad about it. It's not a complete answer, but maybe it will help in your decision.Hey everyone!

I know it's not easy to make a decision like that, but definitely follow your heart.
It wouldn't feel healthy to continue any relationship (even friendship) that causes pain, stagnation, makes you feel low or energy drain.
I remember having to make a decision to end friendship with a group of friends who felt toxic and unhealthy for me when I was about 19. It wasnt an easy decision for me at the time, but what helped me to stick to my decision was seeing how they were not only hurting me but also my family. Healthiest and best decision I made.
Hope this helps
Good luck!
