Tips on Navigating Friend Breakups
Sadly, not all friendships last a lifetime. It's normal to grow and change as a person, but that sometimes mean we grow apart from the friends we used to enjoy spending time with.
Breaking up with a friend is difficult for everyone involved -- but as with any breakup, your friend deserves an explanation. Just as you wouldn't break up with a partner over a text or phone call, friend breakups are best performed in person.
Be assertive but respectful while explaining your reasoning for ending the friendship. You both deserve to end a friendship -- especially a long-lasting one -- on a high note, so you can leave with fond memories rather than animosity.
