We do not have the slightest idea of ending our friendship when we connect with a new person as a friend. People say that if a friendship lasts longer than seven years then it's going to last for a lifetime. But friendships grow apart even after the eighth or many years. And it is normal, we all have reasons to leave a friend or not get along with someone. The real struggle we face is that we lack the courage to tell that we don't want to be in this friendship. But how do we initiate even after knowing that we both are having difficulties conversing with each other? But we have to approach to end this, here's how you should end a friendship without letting your friend hurt.
Start from a talk
If you are feeling like immediately quitting your friendship then it is one of the subtle ways to initiate. Waiting for your friendship to fall apart gradually and naturally may take some time and you won't be calm during those days. Talking It out is the best way to bring this topic and sort things out.
Be clear in your head
Before ending the friendship you should be clear about taking this decision. Make sure that it is not about you being confused about everything. To end this nicely you have to prepare yourself for a reasonable and logical conclusion.
Be ready with your answers
Understand that you are going to answer a lot of questions about whys. So, organized all the reasons and accept where your fault lies. It will make them less argumentative when you will apologize for your mistakes.
Avoid blaming even if they are responsible
If you want to quit peacefully then you mustn't sound questioning everything. Try blaming the timing or the difference in opinion, don't blame them even if they are responsible for this outcome because eventually, you are going to put a full stop and then do it without being too harsh.
Pick a quiet place to talk
Never start telling your friend about ending your friendship in a crowded place. If they are exhausted or having a rough time, keep it for a few more times. Invite them over a coffee or a drink and slowly let them know what is going on in your mind.
Also: If you think it is not a good idea to present this physically to your friend because they might create a scene then don't go out. It can also be done nicely over a call or chat.
