There is nothing as good as having a true friend. Having a friend whom you can count on makes life so precious. However, there are times friends becomes toxic in our life and we need to drop them.
Here are three ways to end a toxic friendship maturely
1. State your reasons
Always have valid reasons before ending a friendship. If you have concrete reasons why you think you need to end the friendship, let your friend know about them. However, don't express your reasons in a hurtful manner. Be honest with your friend and explain to them that you are simply looking out for your best interests.
2. Avoid their approaches
There are many ways your ex-friends can try to reach out to you after the breakup. If you really meant to end the friendship, turn down all their invitations. If you accept their invites, they might think you've rekindled the friendship.
3. Maintain distance
There are many ways you can maintain distance with friends who are always close to you. You can maintain your distance by keeping your conversations brief and giving short and unfulfilling responses that will turn them away. If you both spend most of your time at the same place, get a new friend and concentrate on them more. Your old friend will definitely get the hint and slowly drift away.
