If so, what happened? I’ve lost several throughout these years. Not to death mind you. Sometimes people just part ways through no fault of anybody. People change, they grow. What has worked before no longer is working now. I do try to treasure what we had & focus on those parts instead of dwelling on the should’ve’s that tend to go round & round in our heads afterwards.

Have you ever lost a friend?

Yes, I've lost what I thought was a close friend in the fall of last year.
I was going through a really rough patch with my grandma diagnosed with a terminal condition and was hoping they would be supportive. Instead, I felt emotionally vindicated because they seemed to be more concerned with what was going on in their own life, which is fair. Then they proceeded to lie about wanting to get together and hang out, going on and on about how she didn't want to be around guys after her last relationship experience ended badly. Then I found out through her social media (she was quickly becoming one of those who was succumbing to society influence for tiktok) on snapchat that she was in a relationship. I confronted her about it and called her out on the hypocrisy of her statements.
She proceeded to tell me that her relationship status was her business and I said, yeah, I get that. I was more upset about the blatant lying.
So I told her I don't need her shit in my life and wished her the best.

I quit talking to a lot of my friends. I just didn't feel like those friendships were healthy to me. I got tired of being lied to or thrown under the bus over petty stuff. Like how my former best friend slept with my girlfriend and neither one of them didn't tell me about it until she confessed and broke up with me over the phone. That caused me to have trust issues for a very long time.
My hubby lost one of his friends last year to Covid-19.
That's tragic, I'm sorry for your loss.Just found out last night that one of my fiends from high school was killed in an auto accident.

It's always tragic when someone passes from non-natural means.
