Do you have a friendship that you feel is on the rocks? This article will help you recognize the signs that the relationship has come to an end and how to handle the situation. Learn how to maintain it or end it in a healthy way.
I. Introduction
In life, friendships play an important role and have a profound impact on our mental health. Not only are they companions in happy moments, but friendships are also a foundation for us to share, support, and overcome life’s challenges together.
Research by Brian P. Don and his research team at the University of California has shown that the quality of these relationships can affect both our health and the level of stress we experience daily. The support, connection, and sharing in friendships can help us reduce stress and enhance mental health, while toxic relationships can cause stress and negatively impact our lives.
Therefore, recognizing and maintaining positive relationships is extremely important for taking care of our overall well-being.

II. Common signs a friendship is nearing its end
When a friendship is nearing its end, there are some common signs you can recognize. Drifting apart in core values is often one of the first signs. The two of you gradually become distant and no longer feel you have much in common.
It’s possible you and your friend have gone through major life changes and no longer see eye to eye as you used to. Another sign is when only one side is trying to maintain the relationship. You feel like you are the only one making an effort to keep this relationship alive, while the other person doesn’t invest time and energy into the relationship.
Finally, a lack of respect and support from the other person is also an important sign. If you often feel belittled or don’t receive support from your friend when you need it, this might be a sign that the friendship is in the stage of nearing its end.

III. Loss of emotional connection
When a friendship begins to end, there is often a loss of emotional connection between the two parties. You might start to feel secretive and worried about sharing your feelings with your friend. Feeling unaccepted and misunderstood is another sign.
The two of you have difficulty understanding and accepting each other, causing distance and preventing the bond from continuing to develop. When these difficulties become clear, it may be a sign that the friendship is nearing its end.

IV. The relationship is one-sided
When a friendship becomes one-sided, one party always has to do more to maintain the relationship. Feelings of fatigue and loss of trust often appear when you feel the other person isn’t investing in the relationship as you’d like.
You may feel like you are pouring all your energy and thought into the relationship without receiving anything in return from the other person, leading to exhaustion and disappointment. This can be a clear sign that the friendship is nearing its end.

V. Irresponsible attitude and lack of support when needed
When a friendship is nearing its end, an irresponsible attitude and lack of support when needed often appear. You may notice that the other person doesn’t support you in difficult times, doesn’t offer the support and care you expect.
Instead, they may only be interested in their own benefits and show jealousy when you succeed. These signs are often manifestations of an unhealthy friendship and may be signs that this relationship is nearing its end.

VI. Considering ending the relationship
When you recognize the signs that your friendship is nearing its end, the most important thing is to consider ending the relationship. Pay attention to the signs discussed in the article and assess the situation carefully. Consider whether this relationship still brings value and happiness to both sides.
Finally, make a decision about whether to continue or end the relationship. Sometimes, ending a relationship can be the best choice to protect yourself and create conditions for future growth and happiness.
