Friendships gone awry
Many friendships every do go awry. At least one of your past friendships has most likely gone awry at some point in your life.
Friendships can go awry for any number of reasons. Sometimes you may lay awake at night wondering why the friendship went wrong and what you could have done differently. Blame can be put on both sides of the friendship for fault but looking for faults will do no good. You will still feel empty and lost especially if you were the one who is suddenly dumped.
When a friendship goes awry one of the main causes can usually be assigned that one or both friends feel ignored, like their feelings didn't matter or one or the other friend feels disrespected. This can happen in any friendship no matter how open and honest you have been with each other. Open communication is always a good idea in any relationship but sometimes pride can get in the way and the friendship goes awry.
