I've mentioned recently(ish) about a friendship breaking up in a pretty bad way, had a bit of an epiphany about it today which makes it a lot easier to deal with.
The way it ended, I didn't really understand it because it didn't gel with what I knew of the other person.
Today it struck me that, if I didn't really know them (which, the more I think about it, the truer it seems), then I didn't really lose what I thought I lost.
@ellesu thank you, Addie π
@66ALW99 I too lost a friendship last year. It was the feeling like a bad breakup. I realize now that it's for the better but it still hurts sometimes π
@EllyOnTheGo One thing that's struck me as a bit weird is, it's easy to find stuff, online and off, about getting over relationships ending but relatively few about friendships which, arguably, can be just as difficult if not more so to get through.
I'm glad you've realised it's for the better, though! Onwards and upwards, hopefully π
@66ALW99 absolutely agree!
@66ALW99
I wish you continued healing and understanding. I've experienced something similar over the last few years. Lessons learned help in choices going forward.
