When it comes to growing apart from a person everyone doesn’t take it the same. There are some who hasn’t come to the realization that life will be full of changes. These changes will be things we enjoy and some things we don’t find pleasant.
Signs you’re outgrowing someone (friendship, relationship):
-The only thing you have in common is the past
-You’ve ran out of things to talk about
-You’re both in different seasons of life
-You don’t feel supported
-You constantly judge/criticize them
-You feel they’re replaceable
-You don’t talk as much as you used to
Once you’ve gotten to this point it’s okay to realize what’s going on. This doesn’t mean there’s some type of “beef” taking place between you and the other person. It can simply just mean you guys have outgrown each other and the season you had in each other’s life has come to a close.
The question is, what do you do when you are in a place of growing apart from someone?
Options:
-Let the friendship fade–reduce social interaction
-Tell them how you’ve been feeling and end things gracefully
When people no longer suit you it’s okay to walk away from them because at the end of the day you’re in control of welcoming people into your life and also in control of saying good-bye to those who no longer serves a purpose in your life. If you decide to have the graceful talk; make sure the other person understand it’s “NO HARD FEELINGS! JUST GROWTH!”
