Why Do We Lose Friends?

Download Transcript Some friendships do not last very long because friends change or move away and they don’t want to stay in touch. That’s okay. But it is sad when we lose a friend because of something we did or did not do.

Some reasons why friendships do not last:

One friend feels that they are putting a lot more into the friendship than the other friend. They feel taken advantage of.

One friend always wants to choose what they do together.

The friends are not honest about how they feel about something.

The friends have a fight and they do not make up.

The friends get bored with each other.

The friendship is built around only one activity, such as a class.

The friends need more help with planning or transportation.

One of the friends is jealous.

Jealousy

Jealousy can be very bad for friendships. Have you been jealous? Do you get mad when your friend spends time with other people? Or when your friend gets to do something you want to do?

Your friend does not belong only to you! People do not like to feel they cannot talk to other people without upsetting you. Your friend can care about you AND about others at the same time. If you are out in a group, let your friend spend time with others. You can do this too. You may make new friends this way. Remember—Friendships make your life interesting and happy, but they do take effort and time. What you put into friendship, you will get back. Not everyone you meet will become a friend. But don’t let that stop you. A Friend Who Moves Away Can Still be Your Friend Sometimes friends move away. This does not mean your friendship has to end. You can find a way to make things work. You just have to try. Jonathan tells us about a friend he made in high school. “She is a friend my own age. She lived close and came often to see me—but now has moved to a new town. We don’t see each other as often. But we make sure to spend time together when we can, like on holiday weekends.” Listen
