Sometimes even the most amazing friendships deteriorate.

While sometimes you can't do anything to prevent this, sometimes you can save it- it just needs some understanding and efforts from both people.

Here are some popular reasons of friends becoming strangers.

Growing apart

As individuals grow and change, their interests, values, and priorities may shift. 

This divergence can create a disconnect and make it challenging to maintain the same level of closeness or shared experiences, resulting in the natural fading of a friendship.

Conflict and disagreements

Conflict is a common part of any relationship, including friendships. 

If the conflict becomes unresolved or repeatedly occurs, it can ultimately result in the end of the friendship.

Betrayal or trust issues

Betrayal, breaches of confidentiality, or a series of broken promises can severely damage the trust between friends. 

If the trust cannot be rebuilt or if the friendship becomes toxic, it may be necessary for both parties to part ways.

Lack of effort or investment

If one or both friends consistently fail to make an effort to maintain the relationship, communicate, or prioritize the friendship, it can lead to a gradual weakening of the bond. 

Over time, this lack of investment may cause the friendship to fade away.
