Recognizing these signs early can help you protect your well-being and decide whether the friendship is worth continuing or if it’s time to move on.
1
Disregarding feelings, belittling, or neglecting each other's needs indicates that respect has deteriorated, leading to frustration and resentment.

When only one person is making efforts to maintain the relationship, it leads to emotional exhaustion.
4
Repeated betrayals of confidence or letdowns suggest that the friendship may no longer be healthy.
5
Sometimes people change, this is natural, but it may mean the friendship has run its course.
6
If someone constantly downplays or dismisses your successes, it may indicate envy or disinterest.
7
When these are ignored, it’s a form of disrespect, and it can damage trust and emotional safety.
