is very difficult and also very difficult in it is people recognize the hurt that comes from a relationship, you know, a romantic relationship ending.
People don't recognize readily the hurt from a friendship ending.
So you don't get an awful lot of sympathy.
You don't get an awful lot of
understanding or recognition.
And you might even nearly be embarrassed to say it matters.
Because you're more invested in this friendship clearly than the other person was.
The banshees have been assured.
So you had a very long standing relationship that ended, a friendship that ended not in the way you would have wanted.
So you don't even know why?
Because that's an interesting thing.
The thing is, this is as well when friendships end, I'm not sure people get closure because I'm not sure that they ever get an explanation, which you would bear out there that you don't really know what happened because you don't know how to even look for one.
You know, people have discussions when they end a relationship.
They draw a line.
They say we're over.
It's finished.
This maybe is why I don't feel whatever I should feel or you don't do something.
You know, it's some kind of a conversation.
Now, when closure is removed, when relationships end, it's very difficult.
But I'm not sure how much closure people get when a friendship ends.
