Unlike romantic relationships, friendly ones are based on different feelings and memories and in some cases, even more fulfilling. It is true that for many people, separation from close friends is more difficult and painful than from a partner and for this, there are several reasons:
It's hard to leave the past behind
When it comes to lifelong friends who are in each other's lives, it's hard to change the routine, or stop finding someone to talk to. Friends know secrets and feelings, which even partners do not know, so parting with them is very painful. Also, the disappointment that this separation brings is many times greater than that of partners.
They are a very important part of your life
At some point in life, we all think about breaking up with partners, but not with close friends. They are there, in every romantic breakup, in happy and sad moments, so they automatically become an inseparable part of our lives.
You are afraid that you will not find the same friendship
Close friends are like little water, so if you happen to be separated from them, you will think that you will never create such friendships again, with the same feelings, beautiful moments and with unconditional support and love. This fear is quite normal, but keep in mind that in many cases, life brings you many new friends who can be just as true and supportive as the old ones.
Think you're the only one experiencing this
As you grow up, you experience breaking up with a partner, and in fact, romantic breakups are a universal experience, as there are thousands of songs and movies about them, while breaking up with friends is very few. such. Therefore, you feel more isolated and think that you are the only one experiencing such an experience. It is important to understand that even though breakups between friends are not such a discussed topic, they are still much more common than you think.
