How do you know when a friendship has ended and there’s not a likely chance of rekindling it?

How do you know when it’s time to let go of a friendship with someone you used to be good friends with?

You need to look at their energy. It's only hard because I guess the more you age the less you want to search hard for new friends. I know its the end of the road when I feel like my love for someone misses , I'm very loving so I can feel when someone no longer loves me. If you feel like someone is distancing herself/himself from you but is not doing it with anyone else and you did not have a misunderstanding so you just left them alone for awhile but he/she still didn't contact you it's probably over.

I have the tendency to confront people and speak openly about anything that I believe is a threat to my friendship. I first try to understand what's wrong then I will run it in my head for a while to see if I can fix it. Just know that when you try your best but still fall short then you leave out of respect for yourself. I had a female friend that I was close to since high school , she regularly contacted me but over time it significantly decreased. I was sad about it but when you are no longer received its over. Don't be afraid to leave especially when you were good to that person because you leave with a good reputation.

Usually, they won't call as often, and when you do speak to them, the conversation tends to consist of mostly just inane small talk, etc.

When the things that originally connected you are gone.

No more communication, not lack but no initiative.
You or they don't care anymore.

Opposite of love, is carelessness.

If a stranger comes to you and says they just won the lottery.. you'll congratulate them and forget the next minute because you don't care.

Same goes for your relationships or friendships.
Though, measure on how much they used to care already. Maybe it was specific from the very beginning.

That's all, mate.
