Is it normal to start to hate my closest friends?

A few of my really close friends have become really unapologetic. It's like we have become so close over the years that we are becoming like siblings and "skip the formalities".

I feel like I'm always the one to wait for them to get ready when we go out, and they always expect me to drive without saying thank you. I can't handle it and I don't want to hang out with them anymore but I don't want to lose them.

Do some friendships just get so close that they go bad? (additionally, how do marriages last??????)

Is It Normal?

  • YES IT'S COMPLETELY NOMRAL!!!
    Here, try to think of it like this.... "You can only climb a mountain so high, at times you may want to walk around it to enjoy the view, but not to risk your life (friend ship), But you decide to go to the top and look everywhere, the view is amazing, and then when you're on the tip of the mountain, you trip somewhere and fall down the mountain, and at times you can stop yourself somewhere and still have the view (Don't talk to each other that much), while other times you go to the bottom dead (friendship dies) BUT if you're lucky, your friend comes up and helps you back up the mountain (Your friend's mountain or a friend from somewhere else.)"

    Basically it ment; A friend ship can only go so high, and when you reach the top, you can only go down. sometimes you go down so far the friend ship ends, while other times, your best friend will help you again with the relationship, while others you need someone else to help you. So again it's normal, we humans are that way.

  • I'm 60 now coming up 61 I don't have the same friends I had when I was 14, 20, 30, or 50 it was explained to me when I was much younger that you can count the number of friends in your life on one hand. I have been lucky enough to make three friends that you can call good friends as for the rest well they or I moved on. People change as they have different experiences in life you are not the same person you were 10 years ago neither are they. Move on you will soon find new friends (as on door shuts another door opens) If they are good friends put the friendship on a back boiler and leave it to them to make up their minds if they want to move on. Hope this helps?

  • i sorta agree w/ the above comment.
    maybe you all are just around each other so much that you're starting to get tired of each other. that happens sometimes in close friendships and relationships. that's why some time apart here and there is good.
