Stop Making Excuses For Bad Friends. HISTORY Doesn't Mean Loyalty.

from The Break-Up Diet

One minute you have a huge group of friends, you’re doing everything together and genuinely can’t imagine not having them in your life... then suddenly you’re 26 wondering how you went from being inseparable to barely speaking. And sometimes, there wasn’t even a big falling out. You just grew up, changed and realised the friendship doesn’t fit anymore. In this solo episode, I’m having a proper chat about friendships in your 20s — the good ones, the one-sided ones and the ones we probably hold onto for wayyyy longer than we should just because we have history. I’m getting into friendship red flags, jealousy disguised as “jokes”, backhanded compliments, friends who only show up when it suits them and that horrible realisation that you might be putting way more into a friendship than you’re getting back. I also talk about my own experiences with losing friends, why friendship breakups can genuinely hurt just as much as relationship breakups, and learning that having a smaller circle as you get older really isn’t a bad thing. Sometimes quality over quantity is the biggest glow-up of all. Basically, if you’ve been questioning a friendship, feel like you’ve outgrown someone, or you’re grieving a friend you genuinely thought would be in your life forever... grab a coffee (or a wine lol) and come have a debrief with me. 🤍Because having history with someone doesn’t mean they automatically deserve a place in your future.
