How to End a Friendship Tactfully

How to End a Friendship Tactfully: One of the very hardest things in life to do, But if it has to be done just leave the country, No, just kidding. Really this is nothing to be kidding about. I think that both people involved are going to be hurting for a while, but both will realize why it's happening and know that life goes on and everything will be ok.

Instructions

Difficulty: Challenging

Things You’ll Need:

• A good heart
• A good reason
• Understanding
• A shoulder to cry on, and
• hopefully the other person has all these things as well.

1. I would plan the whole day to handle this, even if it takes only a few minutes, because I'm not sure how I'm going to handle it afterwards. I'm probably not going to feel like going to work, I probably wouldn't be able to concentrate anyway.
2. Talk with Him/Her to see what would be a good day to talk and say that I have something I have to talk to you about.
3. Meet someplace quite, maybe the park or a small coffee shop. Someplace that you don't usually go to, because every time you go there you will have that dreadful memories on your mind.
4. I would probably say, We have been Friends for sometime now and somethings have happened, or some things have come up and I just don't think we can be Friends any longer, and maybe go into those things just a little. Then I would give Him/Her a little hug or shake His/Her hand, (depending on what kind of Friendship we had). Then say goodbye and walk away.

Tips & Warnings

• Don't get mad
• Talk softly
• And most of all, remember that He/She has feelings too.
• Do not later try to rekindle that Friendship unless you know it's real and for sure, because it will be even harder the next time (if there is a next time) to say goodbye again. I heard somewhere that, The end of one thing is ALWAYS the beginning of something else. Good Luck.
