Have you ever lost a friendship?
Someone I used to be extremely close to is a stranger now. Hurtful comments were said by them... more than once. Their idea of the world in general clashes with mine. They ignored my boundaries and concerns, even gaslighting me at times. I was hopeful we could always be friends although we talk less and less over time making me feel my choice to move on was a positive one. It stings yet I don't want to force a friendship or burn my mental health in the process simply to have someone near.
