Is it OK to lose a friend?

While people have known for years that friendships are unquestionably good for your health, experts say it's only natural for acquaintances and even friends to fall by the wayside as time goes on – and it's nothing to feel guilty about. If you really do miss someone, you can always reach back out.

If you’re vaccinated and heading back into the world, you may realise something: there are a lot of people you haven’t spoken to in a year and a half. Then you realise something else: you may want to keep it that way. More of us are starting to pick back up the strands of our pre-pandemic social lives. As we figure out who the first people we want to meet up with are, we’re recognising there are friendships from the ‘before times’ we didn’t keep up during lockdown – and aren’t particularly excited to re-ignite now that we can.

Should we feel bad about not caring for these relationships?

While people have known for years that friendships are unquestionably good for your health, experts say it’s only natural for acquaintances and even friends to fall by the wayside as time goes on – and it’s nothing to feel guilty about. If you really do miss someone, you can always reach back out. But if you feel obliged, or like doing so is emotional labour, take that as a sign you can cut that person loose.

Gut check

“When there’s a friend that you haven’t kept up with during the pandemic – if you didn’t feel the need to check up on this person, and they weren’t checking in on you – then kind of believe what your gut is telling you,” says Suzanne Degges-White, professor of counselling at Northern Illinois University, US. “Not every friendship is meant to last forever. It goes both ways.” Shasta Nelson, a San Francisco-based author and speaker who specialises in friendship, agrees “it’s absolutely normal that relationships ebb and flow all throughout life”. It’s impossible to keep up with every single friend you’ve ever had, she says, especially as you add new relationships when your life circumstances change, such as moving cities or changing jobs. These kinds of life experiences change your friendship networks, as you re-prioritise the people you want to spend your time with.

What does 😊 mean?

What does ☺️ Smiling Face emoji mean? The smiling emoji feels all warm and fuzzy inside. This emoji is used to express positive feelings, from happiness to gratitude to affection. Because of its rosy cheeks, some people use the emoji to convey mild embarrassment.

dictionary.com - ☺️ Smiling Face emoji Meaning | Dictionary.com

The smiling face emoji is an old-timer, at least as far as the internet is concerned. It originated in Unicode 1.1 in 1993 as ☺, called the white smiling face not because of skin tone but because of its white background, in contrast to ☻, or black smiling face. Internet users sometimes still use ☺ to be retro and older platforms may automatically generate ☺ if you type the smiley emoticon, :). The white smiling face emoji evolved into the now familiar yellow-faced smiley in the 2000s, coming into wide release under Unicode 6.0 in 2010. Across platforms, the white smiling face emoji has a slightly open-mouthed smile, relaxed eyes and eyebrows, and pink cheeks, leading some to think it’s flushed or blushing. White smiling face emoji appears happier than slightly smiling face emoji, 🙂, but a bit less joyed than smiling face with smiling eyes emoji, 😊, if you’re keeping track of these things.
