Do you feel the need to just end a friendship? Sometimes certain friendships can be extremely toxic to your life.<\/h2>\n

They end up bringing the worst out of you, or worse, they just add to your problems. It doesn\u2019t matter how long you\u2019ve been friends with someone – if they aren\u2019t good for you, there comes a time they should leave your life. This is when you understand that you need to end a friendship for your own good.<\/p>\n

Below are signs that you might need to end a friendship:<\/h2>\n

1. They Keep Repeating Mistakes<\/h3>\n

People make mistakes, its human nature<\/strong>. No matter who the person is, your feelings will get hurt. And when a friend does hurt you, the best thing to do is explain your feelings to them (once you\u2019ve calmed down and your anger is subdued<\/em>).<\/p>\n

However, if they keep repeating their mistakes, without having any disregard to your feelings, this person is either not sensitive towards your feelings or doesn\u2019t really care how their actions cause other people to react. If the cycle keeps repeating, especially when you have been hanging out with them on a regular basis, then there is a huge problem<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

2. Their Unhealthy Lifestyle Affects You<\/h3>\n

Sometimes certain friendships are built on foundations that are the basis of hobbies<\/a>, interests, and entertainment. And with time, some of these interests fade out \u2013 which isn\u2019t a big problem. However, if the basis of your friendship is partying and dangerous behavior, then that is a big problem.<\/p>\n

If you two can commit to achieving a better and healthier lifestyle, then great. But if you are and they are not, it can hold you back on so many levels<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

3. They Don\u2019t Care About Your Feelings<\/h3>\n

Sometimes our close friends know a thing or two about us that no one else does. So there are certain topics that they know and they also know what may prompt us to revisit something very painful. No, it doesn\u2019t mean that your friends should constantly walk on eggshells around you. Still, their sensitivity or lack of it can be deemed as thoughtless.<\/p>\n

So, if there is a pattern of the insensitivity of thoughtless jokes, talking incessantly about something that is hurtful \u2013 they need to stop<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

4. When They Are In a Relationship, They Don\u2019t Spend Time with You<\/h3>\n

We all understand that when a friend has gone from single <\/em>to in a relationship<\/em>, they won\u2019t have that much time to spend with you anymore. And you may feel it even more when you\u2019re single<\/a>. However, if they just contact you when they are single and don\u2019t know what to do with their weekend nights, it seems a little selfish<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Everyone needs to be able to balance their life and the relationships out maturely. If they are not able to do so, it could be that\u00a0they don\u2019t take your friendship with them that seriously<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

5. They Have No Respect for Your Beliefs<\/h3>\n

We all have different beliefs, be it political or religious ones. It is something natural that people don\u2019t agree with one another all the time. It\u2019s perfectly fine to have a debatable healthy discussion about our point of views. However, if your friend has no regard for your views and dismisses them as stupid<\/em> or idiotic<\/em>, that is being disrespectful and that is not acceptable.<\/p>\n

No one has the right to disrespect you<\/strong> nor your intellect just because they don\u2019t see eye-to-eye with you.<\/strong><\/p>\n

6. They Make You Self-Doubt Yourself<\/h3>\n

When a friend loves you, especially a true one, their love for you is completely unconditional. As life progresses, we all have a habit of making different choices in our life that make us take a different path. This means that our priorities also change<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It is absolutely terrible when a friend makes snide and hurtful remarks about your or someone else\u2019s lifestyle that could be similar to yours. It could an implication that they are judging you.<\/strong> Something like this should be up for discussion, if it continues \u2013 then you know what to do.<\/p>\n

7. Finally, It’s Time to End a Friendship If You No Longer Create Happy Memories Whenever You Spend Time Together<\/h3>\n

Sometimes we have some wonderful memories we make with people. Memories filled with happiness, inside jokes, experiences that you may have bonded over and helped you grow as a person. It sometimes gets hard to end a friendship since you put in a great deal of emotional investment<\/em> over the years.<\/p>\n

However, if you are more attached to the memories than the person, maybe it\u2019s time you let go<\/strong>. It will be hurtful to end a friendship initially, and you may even be tempted to let reverse things.<\/p>\n

Hopefully, when you look back, you\u2019ll be thankful for the friendship you had with them<\/strong> and thank them for the memories.<\/p>\n
