5 Signs You're Losing Your Best Friend and Your Relationship Is Falling Apart
Nothing stands still. Everything evolves, and changes, the old goes away, and new things appear in its place. This also applies to friendship. Therefore, no matter how strong it may seem today, it is better to be prepared for change.
"Unfortunately," writes News Bytes, "even the most loyal friends may envy your lifestyle, success, and happiness in family life. As a result, you will gradually move away from each other, and your connection, which seemed eternal, will collapse before our eyes."
Here are 5 signs that, according to psychologists, indicate that you are already losing your best friend.
There is less and less communication
One of the most important aspects of friendship is communication. If you and your friend communicate less and less, you are already in the process of breaking up. Its symptoms are that you feel less and less desiring to talk to him or her, and you try not to touch on certain topics to avoid conflict
There is not enough time for meetings
Another sign that you are losing your best friend is when you spend less and less time together because you are too busy.
According to experts, we lose friends when we stop meeting with them regularly because we are too busy with work and urgent matters. This indicates that this person's importance is no longer on the list of priorities.
No common interests
Please note that perhaps the hobbies or common interests that have been connecting you have ceased to be mutual. And attempts to get back to them are not enthusiastic and annoying.
Keep in mind that the lack of common interests is usually the end of a friendship.
By the way, such changes can also lead to the formation of stronger ties with other people who are now more interesting and important to you (or your friend).
Lack of respect
If you feel that he or she is ignoring or disrespecting you, it's a sure sign that the relationship has cracked.
Experts say: "In such circumstances, your friends usually behave disrespectfully in your presence. For example, they talk on the phone when you are talking to them, let you down for no reason, and so on."
And if you feel emotionally hurt at the same time, it's a clear sign that you're not doing well.
Ignoring successes and jealousy
If your best friend does not appreciate your hard work or the status you have earned in society through your work, or your professional achievements, then this is also a sign of problems in your friendship.
Such relationships can also develop because of jealousy, which often causes people to drift apart and end relationships.
