Description

Do you ever get that feeling when you're sitting in your room alone, your thoughts wander you, re not crying but you just feel sad and empty . Replaying moments from your life and wondering where did it all go wrong.

As we grow up, one of the things we realise is that our love lives aren't going to play out exactly like they do in the movies we were raised watching. But one of the more confronting truths is when we realise that the same goes for friendships.

Over time, the people we've held dear can move in different directions. Life throws us curveballs and sometimes the friendships we thought would we'd never be without, dissipate -- explosively, in some cases.

But where we're constantly consoled throughout our romantic plights, the sting of a friendship breakup can hit even harder, and we're not always so open about how they impact us. So to change that, we spoke to those who've mourned their losses and are either still confused about what exactly went down, or thriving without their parasitic partner in crime.
