Have you ever been really close with someone ....

Yes, I’ve had that experience. I found this quote years ago and it’s always comforted me…

Yes, it's always painful, but if they let you go so easily, they obviously wasn't meant to be there with you.

P.S. It's possible they are an "avoidant". There are a few types. But it can explain it sometimes if their behavior patterns are push-pull, hot and cold.

Yes my good friend of 27 years. She would just ditch me a couple times during the last year we saw each other. I thought Wow...ok thanks. And then one day she just never called or texted again. After years and years of friendship. It hurt a LOT. But I'm over it now.

No. I understood the reason. 😞

I have done that to others, though. I thought they’d be better off without me. Not fair to make that decision for people; I understand nowadays.

Yes, But I mostly knew why. It was painful.

It is worse when they don't explain the reason why

Yes I've been on both sides of that

Yes. I accepted it.

Yes ma'am

Yeah… I realized, I’m the common denominator. Folks just stop talking to me; sometimes for no reason. They just get busy all of a sudden and have no time for me. I call it “becoming their villain”.

Yes

Yes

Yes…

Yes…..

Yup. Feels like you broke up with your friend.
