How To Get Through Friendship Breakups

Welcome back to the blog! Today I am talking about a taboo subject- friendship breakups. I’m not sure why we don’t talk about this more often. Maybe we are all just triggered by our own experiences or don’t want to rock the boat.

However, speaking from personal experience, friendship breakups suck worse than romantic ones! I think it is because when we allow someone into our life to be so close to us, it hurts deeply when the friendship ends.

On my podcast, Becoming an Influencer, I sat down with my best friend Creator Jewels, and we talked about our experiences of losing bestfriends, close friends, and acquaintances. We give you an insight to the bridges we have seen burn, and how we managed to get through them. And let me tell ya- sometimes they are like a wound that keeps on hurting.

Key take-aways, lower your expectations of people, set boundaries for yourself, and send good energy to friends of the past. It is important to not internalize these breakups, but it is also important to stand up for yourself! Everybody has good qualities about them, however, some friends are only meant for a season.

Our mentor @suzybatiz talks about resonance and dissonance. Basically everyone and everything has a vibration. When two frequency waves of the same speed join together they create a stronger frequency or so called resonance. However, when two wavelengths of different speeds join together, they actually create a lower frequency: dissonance. That’s how I like to think of my friendships. When the friendship is going well we are in resonance but when things starts to get toxic, we are experiencing dissonance. This does not mean your ex BFF is a bad person, it just means you guys are no longer serving each other.

Here are some of my tips on how to get through a friendship breakup, although I will say the best remedy for healing is TIME.
