Friendship breakups often don’t come with the clear markers that romantic breakups do.

Key signs a friendship might be ending include "repeated feelings of tension, unequal effort in maintaining the relationship, or a lack of mutual respect" Ending a friendship is rarely easy, but doing it with empathy and respect can minimise the emotional fallout.

If your other friends are genuinely good, you should be able to transfer the relationship to a one -on-one style.

If you saw this person a lot before, you are likely going to see them again.

If the group chat feels overwhelming, it’s okay to leave, says Natasha Shahbazyan .
