I had a so-called friend. Recently, I noticed I don’t enjoy being around them. We don’t have as much fun as we used to. Our conversations always led to arguments. We didn’t enjoy each other’s company anymore.

It is vital to have boundaries in a friendship. So over the past few months, I set some limits. My friend ignored them. It led to a significant fallout, so to the point where I questioned whether we should be friends.

Or whether I enjoyed their company. The truth is I didn’t. Our life paths went different ways, and I stopped liking them. The ultimate question you should ask yourself is whether you still like them. If not, you should tell them lightly without hurting their feelings.

I told them, Look, our lives are different now we are older, and I don’t want to continue the friendship. I also told them I enjoyed the time we spent together until recently. They said some unkind words and ended the conversation. It made me think about whether I should have ghosted them.

It wasn’t easy to end a friendship lasting six years, but I looked at the future and the possible outcomes of another six years. Deep down inside, I know I made the right decision. Honestly, I shouldn’t have waited so long.

Every friendship leads to one question how do you feel after they leave? How is your energy level whole and happy or sad and drained? It is time to walk away without guilt if it’s sad and exhausting. Our heart always knows the correct answer. Listen to your heart and walk away.
