Breakfast Babble is ED’s own little space on the interwebs where we gather to discuss ideas and get pumped up (or not) for the day. We judge things, too. Sometimes. Always. Whatever, call it catharsis and join in, people.
Breakups are always bad. They bring a wave of emotions when you least expect them, catching you off guard in the worst possible ways. They make you cry, scream, rant, binge on ice cream, and gossip about your ex to your best friend.
But…what if you somehow experience a breakup with your best friend?
No one really talks about how badly friendship breakups hurt. They make you feel numb, like you have no emotions left, no expression left, and of course, no one to turn to.
Because when friendships end, you don’t just lose a person. You lose someone you confided all your thoughts to, someone you shared all your moments with, someone who saw you at your ugliest in a way that no person could ever imagine. And when a bond like this ends, it leaves you with a kind of numbness you can’t express.

What makes it worse is that friendship breakups don’t happen in a moment. There’s no clear “it’s over.” It’s just slower replies, cancelled plans, or conversations that feel forced, and then one day you realise you don’t share things with them first anymore.
And it’s not like friendship breakups mean cutting them off or hating them; you still care about them. You still wonder if they’re okay, still miss the memories you made with them, but just don’t know how to go back to it all and make it all right.
Because, as we grow up, we grow out of bonds, we have fights that feel too heavy to continue, or misunderstandings that settle on the surface but never within. And, slowly, that comfort starts fading, and the friendship that once felt effortless begins to feel distant.
Maybe that’s why friendship breakups hurt more than we admit. There’s absolutely no dramatic closure or goodbye, just a vacant feeling that maybe, just maybe, it all ended for good. And suddenly, someone who once knew everything about you… is now just someone you used to be close to.
