Usually we believe that a friendship will last a lifetime, without knowing that it can end the same as a relationship. Does it hurt the same?
Relationships are far from friendship , but they are such strong ties that we dare to say that they can hurt in the same way when they end, breaking up with your partner breaks your heart, it hurts your soul to say goodbye to the person you love. You had a strong feeling, isn’t it almost the same when a friendship ends?
Sofía had a best friend, they considered each other sisters and they had shared several things in a time of 10 years, she believed that their friendship would last a lifetime, but when they took different paths, Sofía realized that her friend was not the same person he had known and with whom he had shared some years of his life.
On an unexpected day, her friend demanded something from her, she was so angry that she told her that she would never see her again, Sofia still wonders if what she did for her friend to end their friendship was really bad, after days of reflection Sofia realized that there was only one side where the friendship was true , the other side was toxic.
In friendships there is also usually a pattern of manipulation, says one of my best friends: people believe that friendships are like those in movies and series, they believe that they see each other every day and that they are together all the time, when in Actually, maintaining one of these ties is complex .
The analogy between caring for a friend and caring for a partner is similar, in the sense that we want them to stay by our side for as long as possible, but just as the partner can betray you, it can be toxic or overnight. the morning leave you, so it can also happen with friends, you can break up with them.
Many people affirm that it hurts more to end a friendship than with a partner , because the concept of preserving a friendship is more deeply rooted than a relationship; Some people have the idea that sooner or later their boyfriends or husbands are going to leave them, but that they will always have their best friends.
When you break up with a friend, it’s a much bigger void , because how do you replace a person who knows you like the back of their hand and vice versa? It is something that is very complex to restore and without a doubt it also hurts in the soul when you break up with your best friend.
