Their schedule seems perpetually full when it comes to you. Last-minute cancellations become the norm, and raincheck promises pile up like unread emails.

Their online life tells a story you're no longer part of. Inside jokes fly over your head, events you weren't invited to fill their feed, and your interactions dwindle to obligatory likes.

A persistent inner voice whispers that something's off. Despite nostalgia for the good times, you can't ignore the growing discomfort. Your intuition is signaling that this friendship may have run its course.
