Hi, I am struggle to move on from old friendships. I feel like I’ve already treated my friends like family but as I get older, I’m learning that not everyone will like you for you or see you eye to eye. And while I think that’s perfectly okay, I can admit that I’m finding it extremely hard to let go and move on from old friendships especially when they’ve been 10 years.

Mentally and emotionally, I struggle with “Why?” “How do you just walk away from someone after so much time?” And when I ask myself “What did I do?” I find myself thinking that I did too much for these people. Is it just because I’m a giver? Is my heart too big? How do I reel it back in? I feel like I’m scared to find and make new friends now because I know how good of a friend I can and am. How do I move on in peace? And how can I stop reminiscing on the past?
