I’ve had my fair share of friends throughout my life so far but lately, I’ve been less and less inclined to try and make and keep friends.
I think I’m like Taylor Swift when it comes to keeping things going. She can’t seem to keep relationships for more than a year and I can’t seem to keep friendships.
I think we just both have bad taste people….thinking back, I’ve had about a handful of reasons for why my friendships don’t last and I think many of you can relate.
1.The Fake Friend
This one's an oldie but a goodie. This kind of friend is the person everyone THINKS they can trust but let’s get real, she’s the fakest person in the group. She pretends to be super friendly, always looks on trend, and considers herself popular. It’s for these very reasons that everyone wants her to be the best friend.
If you want a drama free life then the first thing to do is rid yourself of the cause of drama which is more than likely this person. Believe me, you'll feel like a weight has been lifted off of you after you say see ya to this one!
2. The Petty Friend
Petty is her middle name. She thrives on trivial unimportant arguments and loves to make them last for weeks rather than days. I’m not too positive why people tend to have these friends but from past experience, she seems to just show up.
No one really cares for her because all she brings is drama but that might be the very reason she’s kept around. She’s the friend everyone goes to when trash talking among friends commences.She lives for gossip which in a way brings us to full circle as to why she is the petty one.
Anyway, there's really no reason to keep this girl around so it's best to rip the band-aid off quick!
3. The Friend Who Faded Away
This friend is the saddest to say goodbye to. There isn’t a particular problem with this friend but the reason for saying goodbye often times like in my case is because there was simply a separation from one another.
This could be because of lack of common interests, busy schedules, higher priorities, or even a major event that made the friendship struggle. I have a friend who I am currently going through this with and it’s very heartbreaking.
No matter how hard either of us try to get back to a place where we once were, we just can’t seem to. We can both see our friendships slipping away every time we can’t make a commitment to hang out and it’s probably one of the saddest things to have to deal with in a friendship.
At the end of the day, having to break it off with friends shouldn't stop you from making new ones! New people in your life call for new experiences which is what every life should have. Just be aware of the friends you keep in order to keep those experiences positive!
