These broken friendship quotes are a result of me reminiscing about friendships I’ve had in the past. Some friendships have faded away because of moving or because of a shift in lifestyle. I’ve only ever had a few friendships that were broken. Those are the ones I regret the most.
-No friendship ever has to remain truly broken. If both sides are willing to reconcile and genuinely seek to serve, a friendship can always return to being.
-A broken friendship can always be healed if both sides are willing to return to love.
-Friendships become broken because at least one side holds a position. As long as at least one side holds a position, there can be no friendship.
-Having a position is the quickest thing that can end a friendship. That’s the same as holding a grudge, feeling wronged, feeling like you are right, feeling like the other person owes you an apology, feeling like you were hurt, not understood or a victim in some way.
-No friendship was ever ended intentionally. Friendships are often broken because at least one side has an unidentified trigger point that the other side probably doesn’t know about. As soon as that trigger point is touched, away goes the friendship.
-The test of a true friendship is when problems or misunderstandings arise. If you can work through it, you have a friendship. If not, your friendship was not deeper than your own selfish needs for at least one party.
-Selfishness if the killer of friendships.
-Trust is the key to friendships. Often a friendship will break because the trust is broken. Trust is difficult to rebuild, but it can be done if both sides are willing.
-A true friend would never place his own selfish needs and positions above the friendship.
-Broken friendships arise because of unfulfilled emotional needs.
-Broken friendships occur because someone had an expectation. Expectations are doomed for disappointment. To heal a friendship, release your expectation.
-Forgiveness is key to heal friendships.
-A broken friendship can always be mended with love, understanding and a consistent rebuilding of trust.
-Victims will always create broken friendships to sustain their victimhood and why they are right.
-Show me a broken friendship and I will show you someone who has a position. Regardless of the breach of trust, a friendship can always be healed with a desire to understand and to return to love.
-A broken friendship is a result of attempting to get love before you give love.
