I'm genuinely shocked and heartbroken at some of these.
about why some friendships end. So many people shared personal stories in the comments that I decided to do a post on those. Here are 17 more stories about why people had to sever ties with their friends."I got tired of always being the one to initiate conversations so, one day, I decided to let him make the first move. I haven’t heard from him in over a year.
"She used me for a while to take her kids to their school since she doesn't drive, and I do. I blocked her on FB in April, and despite still seeing her at school, she hasn't asked for anything from me. She also hasn't contacted me this holiday . I know I'll see her then, but I can be friendly rather than friends, and it will be bliss.""All my friends had a fancy dinner party on my birthday and didn't invite me and one of my other friends.
"The last time she did it, I would have just left, but coincidentally, I ran into another friend I know and didn't feel like calling her out in front of someone I hadn't seen in years. Since then, I decided I would only meet up with her for something that's a timed event like a movie and not the dinner beforehand. Or I'll invite her out with someone else, so it doesn't have to be a one-on-one.""I cut off my aunt because she thinks BLM is a racist organization.
"I retaliated by saying things back. But it was three against one, and I got to the point where I had to block them all. This happened just before Christmas of 2004. Merry Christmas to me!!!"And finally,"I've had major health problems for the last couple of years, and my husband died five years ago. I had someone who I had considered one of my best friends tell me that I needed to get over his death and stop being sick because she didn't need the negativity in her life.
"I stupidly let her back into my life after that, and went to her birthday party. A friend of hers asked me how we'd met. I told them, in one word, that it was in a psych hospital. I then chatted to them about my mental illnesses. Ex-friend cracked it with me the next day because her son wasn't aware of her diagnosis, and she claimed that my talking about my problems was the reason someone else left early.
