Ep 136: This is the third episode in our friendship series that talks through the different stages we go through with friends. The first part of the series was episode #129 about making and maintaining friends. The second part was last week’s episode #135 about growing pains (definitely listen to that first to see if there’s a way to resolve the conflict or tension if you want to try continuing a friendship before ending it).
However, if you’ve done everything you can and are feeling unaligned in this relationship - then it might be time to close a friendship chapter. This episode will be your guide to help navigate any similar situations you might be experiencing now or likely will at some point in the future. As changing and ever-evolving humans, it’s only natural that our friendships are going to change as well.
It’s tough and we’re here right there with you guys. We candidly share some of our experiences that led us to want to discuss this as today’s topic. There’s a lot of practical advice that can be taken away from this conversation such as signs to look out for like growing apart, one-sided friendships, negative influence and a lack of support. We conclude with a list of questions you can ask yourself to help reflect before making any decisions.
