Toxic Friendships: When to Let Go

Toxic friendships are relationships that consistently drain your energy, harm your self-worth, or leave you feeling anxious, unsupported, or manipulated. Unlike occasional conflict, toxicity is a pattern—marked by jealousy, one-sided effort, passive aggression, or boundary violations that don’t improve, even after honest conversations. Letting go becomes necessary when the relationship begins to hinder your mental and emotional well-being more than it helps it. While walking away can be painful—especially when history, guilt, or loyalty are involved—it’s often a vital act of self-respect and healing. Recognizing that not all friendships are meant to last forever allows you to create space for healthier, more reciprocal connections.
