Growing apart from your best friend is painful as hell.
It’s basically a breakup on steroids.
Its basically a breakup on steroids.

If youre still unsure of whats happening between you & your BFF, check out these signs.
You dont keep up with your traditions anymore.
Somewhere along the way, those traditions fell by the wayside.
You dont have as much in common as you used to.
When you were in college, it was so much easier.
You were focused on the same things and you were in the same circles.

Now that youre settling into your post-grad life, you dont have as many of the same interests.
You dont call them right away when something exciting happens.
It just doesnt cross your mind to immediately share those things anymore.
You have different views on divisive issues.
You feel like youre still friends more out of a sense of shared history than actual friendship.
Sometimes, that thinking keeps us stuck in best friendships that would be better left alone.
Youre not curious about their life.
Before, you were pumped to know the details of the latest crush your best friend had.
Its just boring to hear updates.
They dont make an effort to fit into the new parts of your life.
They dont make any effort to understand this new part of your life.
You dont have that much fun with them anymore.
When youre together, you really have to attempt to enjoy that time.
Although friendships take effort, it shouldnt be an effort to have fun with your friends.
