So the SOE doesnt abide by the requirement rules ? <| sep |> A majority of my friendships ended naturally by just drifting away . People going different directions in life both physically and otherwise means people just kinda fall out along the way . For me , it starts with a realization that the friendship just isn ' t going to hold up . Effort on either side to maintain the friendship is gone . Like a wet sand castle , the structural integrity isn ' t there to hold it up anymore . Acceptance of the situation sinks in . Life moves on and I focus on the friends I do still have left . If you ' re talking about actively having to end a friendship , I ' ll leave that to people who have had to do that . Luckily , I have ' t had to deal with that in my life .
