How to Make Friends as an Adult—Even After Rejection

Have you ever had a friendship end without any real explanation?

This week on A Really Good Cry, I’m opening up about one of the hardest lessons I’ve had to learn as an adult: not every friendship is meant to last, and sometimes, you won’t get a reason why. I’ll share the story of a connection that felt full of potential, only to end without explanation. It left me feeling confused, a bit heartbroken, and honestly, kind of spiraling for a while.

More than just a story of rejection, this episode is about what it taught me—about communication, grace, and how much energy we give to people who’ve already let go. I’ll also walk through the tools and mindset shifts that helped me move forward, and the surprising ways I’ve found deeper, more aligned friendships since.

If you’ve ever felt confused, hurt, or quietly heartbroken over a friendship that faded too fast, this one’s for you. You’re not alone—and you’re not the only one still trying to understand.
