How do I know when to end a friendship?

About this episode

Friendship is often said to be eternal, to withstand the test of time and distance. We expect friends to accept everything about us, but it's not always that simple. Just like any relationship, they can become complicated and sometimes toxic.


Not all friendships are always worth keeping, and certain signs can indicate when one is nearing its end. Friendships should be a source of joy, support, and personal growth. In a healthy friendship, both parties feel valued and respected.


What does constitute a healthy friendship? Are there certain criteria that give away when a friendship is dysfunctional? What should I do if I realise a friendship is complicated and leaving me drained?
