My friends and family all have different backgrounds and different experiences within relationships. It's interesting too see in some ways people can relate to each other, such as how they realized that the pandemic changed relationships. But it's a lot about how you deal with the situation. Some people don't care that much and have the mentality where it doesn't really matter what happens within a relationship. If you stay close or not, some people just go with the flow.

Well others can experience heartbreak when they loose a friend. I think everyone can relate to the feeling of heartbreak, but some might not realize a friendship can be as intense as a relationship with a significant other.
A friend makes u cross boundaries, makes you wonder about life and explores the possibilities with you. Sometimes you realize you built a connection within seconds and feels like it can last a lifetime. We forget we all have different expectations and another sense of reality.
I think thats probably what a lot of hurt comes from. The misunderstanding between two different worlds. Lots of the time its about two people who keep up with a connection. When one is lacking, it's less interesting for the other to keep pulling on a relationship that's non existent.
In a way a lot of the relationship plays within our own minds. Your own experience plays a big role, but doesn't say anything about the experience the other might have had.

Friendship is the most important thing in life, for everyone probably. This because we explore ourselves and others at the same time, it's something u can do at any age and keeps lasting forever.
Mending a relationship is something you have to do for yourself, another person can't say anything about that. It is your experience and your feelings, nobody can force you to stay in contact with someone.
Stay true to your own feelings and when u realize others want to influence that, you know this person is not right for you. Your mind , your choice to keep or let go.
