Some friendships are built to stand the test of time, and others, well... not so much. Strong friendships can withstand disagreements, arguments and the odd bout of bickering, but the ones that don't have enough substance behind them will shatter at the first sign of trouble. Usually, you know the type of friendship you're in with someone and whether or not it's strong enough to withstand an argument. But sometimes, you get surprised in the worst type of ways, and before you know it, your 'friend' has stopped talking to you for the pettiest reasons. A Reddit thread saw people sharing the ridiculous reasons friends stopped talking to them, proving that some friendships are a lot more fickle than others.

    Font - DIDİMISSsomethin · 4d I was best friends with twin brothers all through elementary school. Connected at the hip. After 5th grade, before middle school one of them called me and said that we couldn't be friends anymore because I was ruining their popularity. I was devastated. I had trouble making friends basically the rest of my childhood after that.

    Font - Foreverkeet · 4d I got mad at them for saying I'm a worthless human being because I wasn't taking as many classes as them in college. They refused to talk to me because it made me upset. Narcissism, man...

    Font - vocabulazy · 4d A girl I became friends with in uni started dating my best friend-who is like a brother to me, really-and then wouldn't be friends with me after they broke up 4 years later. She thought I should have chosen one of them, and shunned the other...and also thought I should have chosen her.

    Font - Particular-Ad95 · 4d literally no reason, has been best friends for about 6 years playing video games together most of the time and he just decided to stop doing stuff with me without any reason, he responds when i talk to him but in a cold way and after a while ( almost a year of trying ) i just couldn't stand him anymore, feels bad he was the best.

    Mammal - Panda_Kabob · 4d I forgot his girlfriends name. Like we eventually became friends again and he admitted it was kinda dumb to do. But at the time it was funny and made me laugh. I don't remember names in general. I barely remember my own.
