have yall ever lost a friend just to realize you didn’t lose a friend.

You never lose a real friend. Someone just got tired of pretending

Oh, yes. It prompted me to pay attention to how I feel interacting with people. With that person, whenever she called I felt on guard, with a knot in my stomach.

She used to say, "Friends are brutally honest with each other."

During our last conversation I said, "I can appreciate honesty; brutality, not so much."

When I stopped hearing from her I was actually relieved.

Oh yes! A number of times! Sonetimes its been an imediate realisation and other times its taken a while to sink in they hadn't been a true friend.

Yes, it was horrible at the time, but now I’m glad it happened.

I lost many friends when I decided to be alone while working on my projects. A certain Sacrifice I will take. The friends of long time ago never communicated with them again.

So this buddy to feed boredom is dead.

Yeah. A dude who was just searching for a gf. Or maybe I said something that deeply offended him but the only potential thing that comes to my mind doesn't even seem that bad to me.

Many of them

Too many times to count

Yes, like almost every one of them.

All the time especially lately

It happens.

Yes

Yes

Yep

What happened?
