Friends are people who need to be cherished because you don't know how long a friendship will last. They're two types of friends; those who stay for a short time and those who will be there for a long time. The friends who stay by you for a long time are true friends and those are the ones that we need to be cherishing because they are the ones that matter. I'm not saying that all friends shouldn't be cherished, but the ones who stop being our friends aren't worth the effort of trying to keep.
If they want to stop being friends over something stupid that happened or because they are just using you then you shouldn't be friends with them. True friends will be there for you no matter what happens. They aren't going to use you for selfish reasons and they aren't going to leave at a drop of a hat. I personally have a couple of close friends that I will cherish forever because they are that important to me, but I have had friends who I stopped being friends with whether that was because they were toxic or we drifted apart.
If you have friends or even that one friend who has been by your side through ups and downs keep them because those type of friends can be hard to come by. If you have friends who are bringing you down both mentally and emotionally then you need to get rid of them because you don't deserve to be put down like that. You don't have to be friends with people who are only going to belittle and disrespect you because having that toxicity in your life will slowly eat away at your other relationships that matter more.
That isn't just reserved for friends either. It could also be family members as well, but that is a whole other thing. It will be hard to let those people go especially if you have known for a long time, but it has to happen if you want to be happy. You can do it and you can make friends who won't treat you like crap as well as being by your side through anything. Don't give up.
