When you go to someplace, you start mixing with like minded people and slowly become friends. Without friends, life becomes quite boring and lonely. You might not know when a friend becomes closer and you gradually start sharing every thought and feelings with him/her. However, when you get closer with a friend, you tend to become possessive and start keeping a track of him/her.

Well, I am not talking about the possessiveness that we have seen in the movie, Roommate. But, when you start sharing what you feel, you get closer and your friend becomes your best buddy. You only desire to store, develop and maintain the friendship. It is believed that friendship is forever and no one can break it. But, in most of the cases, friends are not forever! How would you know that your friendship is drifting away? Check out these signs...

Signs that your friendship is drifting away:

Avoidance: When your friend who used to be with you all the time, starts avoiding you suddenly then it is a clear sign that your friendship is drifting apart. The avoidance can be either intentional or unintentional. A smart person can easily make out the reason behind the avoidance.

Priority: Suddenly, if you see that your friend is not giving you any priority like before, then it is another sign that he/she doesn't want to keep the friendship anymore. They are either bored or not benefiting from the friendship. That is why, they are prioritising other things and drifting with you. This sign can only be observed if your friend used to give you lots of priority before but then suddenly stopped it.

New friends: We all make new friends every other day. However, the best buddies do not stay comfortable with others. But, when your friend starts making new friends and hang out with them most of the times, then it is a clear sign that your friendship is drifting away. You can either discuss and sort out or just let it go.

Jealousy: Jealousy is one of the main causes of fights. A friendship breaks when jealousy takes its toll on the mind of your friend. Getting a new partner, friends etc are common reasons behind jealousy. This sign will not be clearly visible but you can make out with the reactions and attitude of your friend.

Gossiping: When your friendship will start drifting away, your friend will start finding out flaws in you and gossip about it with others. If you come to know that your friend has been gossiping on your back off lately, be clear that your close friendship will not last anymore!

These are few signs to know that your friendship is drifting apart.
