How do you tell your best friend who you have recently fallen out with that they have changed so much since you first met them and that you don't like them anymore?

Answer 1

Don't give up on your good friendships so quickly as we can all change and sometimes we don't go down the right path. I would talk to your friend and tell them just what you said on the board and ask "what's up?" Perhaps they have personal problems, etc. Good friends stick around to try and sort things out between them. A good friendship is like a marriage in a way, and we have to work at it. If you talk it out and the person is still acting up and you don't like it make sure you tell your friend why you are no longer going to be friends. Communication is everything. Just today I had to come down hard on a dear friend of mine of 24 years. She is a high energy young woman and is on the Board of Abused Women's Center. According to her, she is the ONLY ONE that made changes for the good in the Abused Women's Center. While she did work hard, she was not the only one that worked hard, and since I was one of the other ones that put in 16 hour days I found it was a slap in the face. Many of her collegues were less than pleased, but didn't like conflict, so ignored her. I care enough about her to set her straight and so, in as nice a way as possible I did tell her today. I am hoping she get's the picture. If not, it will be herself that will pay a dear price. Give it one more chance and communicate your feelings to your friend. It could be worth it. Good luck Marcy
