When friendship is better to stop and how to do it

When to stop friendships

At least think about breaking friendly relations should be in three cases.

1. Each inclines you to immorality

Everything can start small: one will ask you to lie for the sake of it or hide the truth from someone from the family. This is the first alarm bell. Most likely, over time, the number of such requests will increase, and they will be all the more serious.

2. Friend Requests indulge his immoral actions

In this case, the keyword - "indulge." It is better to end the relationship with the man, who asked not to just put up with his immoral actions, but also to help in their implementation.

You should definitely think about the need to continue the relationship, if your friend's behavior harms not only him but also others, including you.

3. Friend Requests cause someone harm

As in the first case, we can first talk about something insignificant. But if a friend wants you to do the "dirty work" for him and lied to someone or hurt someone's feelings, not to mention the physical harm to human health, - it is an occasion to reflect.

How to end the relationship

Of course, interrupted friendships difficult. Especially if we are talking about a person with whom you have been through a lot. If you decide to put an end to friendship, there are several ways to do this as painlessly as possible.

To reduce the relationship to naught gradually

In contrast to the situation with romantic partners, friends better leave gradually. Do not break off the friendship abruptly, just sequence reduces human interaction to a minimum.

Avoid hostility

Upon termination of friendly relations is important not to become enemies. Avoid quarrels. Your task - to stop to chat with the person, not to hurt him.

Do not involve others

Terminate friendship with someone - your own decision. Should not impose its common friends. You can explain to them the reasons for their actions and ask to lend you moral support, but do not involve them in the conflict.
