No Falling Out

When did that friendship end, and is it over?

No Falling Out

There was a friend you saw every week. No argument, no betrayal, nobody moved. The gaps just got longer. Then it was three years, and now if you passed them on the street you'd both be pleased and neither of you would suggest a drink.

When did that friendship end, and is it over?

Then ask

  • Tell me about the last time you saw them. Did it feel like the last time?
  • If they messaged tonight, would you answer honestly or perform?
  • Which of your current friends is halfway down that same slope?

The classics and some new ones. A scenario, the question it forces, and the follow-ups that make it bite.
