6 Tips on How to Break Up With Your Best Friend
4. List out the reasons of ending your friendship
Whether you end your friendship with your best friend via email, phone or in person, you should first be convinced about the reasons for doing the same. Make a list of all the reasons that you are not getting along with your best friend. Letting your best friend see this list will help him or her to understand why you are taking this decision. This may help your friend to avoid over reacting to the situation.
5. Know what your friend thinks about ending the friendship
Since a friendship occurs between two people, your friend is an equally important person in making the decision of ending your friendship. Tell your best friend about your thoughts of breaking up and get feedback. If your best friend agrees with you about ending the friendship, you will feel less awkward and guilty about breaking up.
6. Go on a sabbatical
If you want to end your relationship with your best friend without coming across as a rude person, you can choose to take a sabbatical in your friendship. This means going your separate ways for a while and coming back to talk to each other a few months later with a renewed perspective about your friendship. This break can act as the perfect buffer between you and your best friend to think deep and hard about breaking up.
