I want to preface this by saying I’m not an expert on friendship breakups. I’ve only experienced one dramatic friendship breakup, which I’ll speak about in a moment. Aside from this, I’ve experienced naturally growing distant from acquaintances and quietly pulling away from people who I don’t feel aligned with. This is usually a process welcomed by both parties, so not what I would consider a ‘breakup.’
I always say people will lead with trauma and not compassion because they don't know compassion so they are unable to give it to others until they heal themselves first.
