Has a friendship ever turned volatile for you?

[Brem]

Have you ever had a good friend who later became very volatile? As in they started to be rude, offensive, or maybe even abusive towards you, whether it be physical or even emotional. I've had friends come and go in my life, but thankfully I never had a friend who later hated me, or vice versa. But I have had friendships end, not because of anything too bad, but mostly just losing contact. Most of my close friends I keep in contact with, but even than I don't talk as much to them as I used to. Maybe I should, but idk they don't always reach out to me.

Anyway, that's beside the point. Have you ever had a friendship that ended badly? Or turned volatile to the point the both of you started to hate each other? Did it have something to do with mental health? Because the world is an ever changing thing, peoples thoughts and opinions are changing all the time. And mental health can have an affect on how people see the world including their friendships.

Yes, it has. I’ve realized that with life, friends come and go, some fade away naturally, while others leave a stronger impact, even if the friendship becomes volatile along the way.

I have had friends that turned out to be enemies to me. Maybe, I offended them in some way. And I have apologized but they still see me as an enemy. There is an ex girlfriend that lives in the same street with me. It is five years now since we broke up and she has never responded to a hi from me. I bet she hates me like mad.

I have had a few friends that turned volatile. And the major cause of it is that they felt intimidated by my pace of progress in life. My pace was a little bit faster than theirs and they became insecure. I tried to warm up to them but their insecurity persisted and made them to disdain me. I had to leave the friendship for my own mental health.

I didn't lose friends because of the opinion difference or any other reasons. I lost them because I could not give enough time to them after getting busy in my own life. Every relationship requires time to grow but I could not give that's the reason everyone started making a distance from me.
