About this test

Friendships end in patterns. 24 honest items, one verdict on the way yours actually go.

Methodology

24 items, 4 per pattern, 5-point Likert. Dominant-pattern scoring across six friendship-loss types.

Possible archetypes

You Ghost · Group-chat ghoster
You owe 14 people a reply. From last March. We see you.
They Outgrew You · Soft-launched out
They got the new friends, the new partner, the new life. You got the seen-zone.
You Outgrew Them · Glow-up purger
You did the glow-up and didn't bring everyone with you.
One-Sided Drift · Stopped texting 1st
You stopped texting first to see what would happen. Spoiler: nothing.
Big Explosion · Bridge-burner pro
You have at least one "we don't talk and we both know why" person. Maybe three.
Just Life · No-fault drift
A move, a kid, a job — no one did wrong, but they're a Christmas card now.

Can I have more than one?

Most do. Result names dominant; secondary often shows up.

Is one of these "bad"?

Each does different damage. The point is to know your pattern so you can change it.
