But I think the most important thing you can do is talk about it.

Is to talk like, these are my priorities right now.

These are my intentions.

What are yours?

And then sit down and have a serious adult conversation.

Are these things aligned?

What do we do from here?

And if you're both on the same page and you are both growing, even if it is in different directions, you will still be able to cheer for one another.

And even if there is bad blood in the friendship and it's feeling unaligned,

you can still peacefully walk away and just kind of grow and see from that outside perspective like, wow, this is something that in the past I felt was really serving me but now seeing it, I can see that it really does not.

So even if a friendship was something that once felt really good for a certain version of yourself, doesn't mean it will feel good for this version of you now and it's okay to accept that and communicate that.

And a lot of you guys are so worried about how do I communicate this?

How do I cut contact with somebody but cordially?

I still have to see them around at school or work or in social settings.

How can I do this peacefully instead of creating a whole feud?

The number one thing I do not recommend typically is ghosting someone.

I've never been a ghoster.

I just don't think it's always the best because if you are just ghosting someone, you're essentially leaving that door open and you're leaving the possibility open and you're leaving...

even the text window open for someone to be like, Hey, what's wrong?

Like what happened?
