When I started blogging, I have posted about friendship. A while back, my sister blogged about this topic with a different twist. She was sort of dropped by a close friend without really knowing why. That friendship is now really over....dead.
Maybe two weeks ago I read my niece's blog about the same topic and then last Friday, I went out with a very good friend and she mentioned that she had dropped a mutual friend of us. It was because she believes that she was being used and when she does not need anything, she does not communicate and I can confirm that is what happened.
Which brings to my topic of why people do this. I unfortunately had dropped two friends and mainly because I think it is becoming toxic. I did not really want to do it but I believe it was best for everyone.
I really do not miss them, I would rather have a few less friends that I really enjoy going out with and that I trust no matter what happens. For whatever reason, I think there is a time limit or expiration date on some friendship and there are ones where you do not really get a lot of phone calls but once you do, it still feels good and you carry on like there was no interruption.
I guess that happens to couples who divorce and are still good friends or some former partners and are still in very good terms. I think it depends on what kind of special relationship one has with another person.
Sometimes jealousy or envy can be the cause of friction. No matter what friends are important and we should cherish the ones we have now and let them know.
