If speaking about your past as a teaching moment, sure. But people can hear unhealed pain in your conversation. True healing is present when you don’t feel the need to explain the challenges you have had to face in friendship. It’s just like romantic relationships; you don’t have to talk about your ex anymore. When love truly finds you, you’re not rehearsing your scars with your new person. You’ve moved on and you’re truly ready for love and its new beginnings! Same thing goes for friendship. Although I am biased and I can wholeheartedly say that friendship healing is harder than any other type of relational breakup, I know the at the concepts are very similar in nature.
