    I broke up with my best friend , and it hurt more than losing a boyfriend. I felt so alone without her and there are times where I look at our pictures and videos, and genuinely miss her. But, I am glad I had her in my life. Wish her well.

    Didn’t actually realise how sensitive I was to this topic. Friendships are a different type of heartbreak especially when you know things could’ve been sorted out through honest communication, but pride gets in the way. I hope for friendships that allow freedom, raw honesty and growth ❤

    Friendship breakups hurt and take forever to heal but I have learned that sometimes it is nothing personal, people grow apart, and lifestyles and goals change. Sometimes the friendship has reached an expiry date, maybe their season in your life is over. They are not meant to go with you to the next level. I have lost a friend of 15 years over something so small, but as I said, it was time to move on. We served each other for 15 years, it was time to let go.

    I had a confusing friendship situation and found myself coming to this episode over and over. I realized that friendships aren't as simple. So much to learn.

    The decent thing is to talk. Tell the person. A friend just left and to this day I still wonder what happened. And for me personally I had a friend who started becoming toxic and I addressed that and we parted ways but we maintaned contact and years later we reconnected and that talk actually preserved our friendship.

    I was ghosted by a close friend who I actually considered as a sister 8 years ago. It actually affected my ability to form close friendships since then. I am only dealing with it now in therapy as I have deep rooted fear of that same abandonment but I am opening up and have a new close friend who is helping me heal through it. Lol well her and my therapist 😅. So yeah this thing can be damaging to be honest. Lovely conversation as always ladies🌸

    The older I get the harder it is, for me, to make friends. I have a group of guy friends for 20 plus years that includes my twin brother... with them I am home, comfortable and always myself.. I never feel guilty about communicating how I feel or what I think....no anxiety or expectations

    This episode really made me retrospect a lot, I struggle to make friendships work. I have friend whom we have become distant, on his birthday I send him a message to wish him a birthday but we hardly to nothing talk. I ask myself if I am a problem or the friendship has served it's purpose and I need to let go.

    I've just signed in and came across this channel. I love it. This topic really made me emotional. I have this one friend whom I broke up with because she doesn't celebrate my birthday the way she celebrates that of her other friend. It made me emotional because I'm not that type of friend. I really love her but is the friendship healthy ? I don't know

    I've finally had to learn to let go. It's funny how some people don't regard closeness as important as others and that's what really hurts. Letting go is so hard but it has to be done

    Enjoyed this because I love friendships and I’ve had so many of these experiences in different manners. On the money topic, I tend to use it as a loose character test. I help out and watch how you move upon receiving the help. Like, was it returned with the same urgency, why did you borrow it (real emergency or not), bank charges factored in (decency), etc.

    I'm listening to this conversation for the second time, I loved it that much and well, it resonates with me at this moment. A friend of mine with whom we haven't spoken for the past 2 years recently texted me. I feel like I don't want to rekindle this friendship, do friendships get rekindled and live again?

    I am late to this podcast but I am loving all these topics. I especially love hearing other people's take on friendship break ups because they are so complex. I have learnt a great deal about myself and my own boundaries but overall I know that I am a true, genuine girlfriend and hope my girlfriends feel the same
