Instead of feeling uplifted, you’re left mentally or emotionally exhausted. Good friends recharge you—not drain your energy like a phone stuck on 1%.
If you're always texting first, planning meetups, or checking in—and they’re ghosting until it’s convenient—it might be time to rethink the balance.
Whether you’re celebrating or struggling, their reactions are dismissive, jealous, or just plain cold. A true friend claps when you win—and sits with you when you’re low.
If the friendship feels more like a reality TV recap than a safe space, that’s a red flag. Talking about people more than with each other? Yikes.
Trust is the foundation. If secrets leak, judgment creeps in, or you hesitate before opening up—it’s already cracking.
– Growing apart happens. But if your morals, priorities, or lifestyle have taken wildly different paths, it can create friction that’s hard to ignore. –
When you realize you feel more at peace, more confident, and more you when they’re not around—that’s your biggest sign.
