6 Signs That it's Time to Let Go of a Best Friend

Comment the name of your enemy below and we shall slay them for you. =)

The worst feeling is seeing how your best friend slowly gets another best friend and stops caring about you.

Not friends, not enemies, just strangers with memories.

"Sometimes you miss the memories; not the person..."

Sometimes people grow apart and it’s hard to let go but we have to to keep moving forward

The saddest part of life is when the person that gave you the best memories becomes a memory.

I just ended a friendship with a person who turned out to be a toxic, narcissistic, guilt tripping, manipulative bigmouth. I feel a lot more free now.

Very timely. I just acknowledged to a "best" friend of 35 years that I was carrying the burden of single-handedly trying to maintain the friendship, but no more. A short letter, only best wishes, inside a lovely card, and I felt very sad, but relieved, to finally articulate what needed to be said. 🙁

The fact that this appeared in my recommendations is a sign on its own.

Me: doubting my (kinda toxic) friendship. YouTube:

I once had a really close best friend, but like this video, I had to let her go. We had become distant and when we did talk, it was fights. It was still hard though. To whoever needs to hear it, it’s all right to let go of that friend. It may hurt at first, but it’s better than constant pain from trying to keep it together

My best friend, who I only met 4 years ago when we were both 9, and I hit off really well instantly. We were never more than friends, but we were really close, and we both really enjoyed each other's company. But recently, she just randomly became distant, and it's gotten to the point of coldness. This video made me overwhelmingly sad, but also allowed me to consider the situation deeper. I also write songs, and I have A LOT, but I've been feeling held back, but after watching this video, I am able to write about it in song form. It feels good, but also really really sad.

broken friendship hurts more than relationships break up.

Who else is crying over the fact that you need to let go of your bestfriend who doesn’t really care.

I stopped talking to my best friend of 10 years 1 year ago and this is kind of helping me let go. Ty for helping me feel a bit better!

I love the objective advice. Sometimes people grow apart and it’s hard to let go but we have to to keep moving forward

Losing your bestfriend is like losing apart of your heart, it sucks. Bad

what's worse is finding out how much of a narcist that person is. When you're ignorant about narcissism it will take years until you realize their true character and what they really think and feel about you. my advice to everyone out there is to really understand what makes a narcissist and think carefully about that person.

I let go of my bestie of 42 years in February. We had been through so much together and were always there for each other. My dad died last December and she couldn’t be bothered to come and see me, and my son reminded me that it had been over 4 years since she had visited me. It was always me going to her, I’m slightly disabled and it’s a bit of a drive. She had surgery to remove large benign cysts from her ovaries and I took my own shower chair for her to use at home and went to stay for a week to help look after her through the day. This was last June 2022, and I have a carer myself. I sent her a message telling her that I didn’t want her to contact me anymore. And it hurt to do that. We had been besties for 2/3 of my life, her kids are family to us. But she just didn’t want to bother and to be there for me as I was for her last year. So that’s it. Never had the decency to return my shower chair either, I had to get another. Said all I needed to know about her. Her oldest and dearest friend she called me, what a joke. Bye Jan.
