Some friendships are meant to be merely chapters in our life rather than a thread throughout the entire story.

@K Nosay, thank you very much you helped me move on in life and I am confused and don't know if they are my friends but I am aware of (relative family) and (chapter friends)

The ending of a friendship is sad as well as painful...

[@ChildofGodforevr]

This is why I have very very few friends, and I'm so very happy.

[@CozzyBoy]

Friends come and go. Since finishing school I've only kept in touch with a few friends and the rest didn't even bother. Tbh I'd rather have a few friends who are always going to be there than hundreds who don't care.

Helaanxo I swear you are so true

[@karlaearnst4630]

I too am old enough to be your mother and I think you are fantastic! I have learned so much from you and am starting my reentry into makeup. It is very obvious that your friend is and was jealous of you. When you have some good fortune befall you, it is easy to count the few friends who do not become jealous and angry with you. I had a friend for 20 years and I too remember so many wonderful times. Then I got married, then she got married. I had a child and it became more and more hurtful and unpleasant to be around her. I have struggled with this feeling for years but after 20 more years of infrequent and cool communication, I decided to completely take her out of my life. For 20 years I had just pretended everything was ok and it really wasn't. It is nice to be able to come to your senses and realize you are happier without people dragging you down. For some reason, I have had to learn that MANY times! Good luck, feel better and keep doing what you are doing! I love it!

this literally happened to me my whole life only very few of my friends have remained ppl change suckssss b/c its just life, btw since you said your friend was jealous like thats it- b/c jealousy will kill any relationship! your better off without him.

[@Toohot2handle758]

Karina Kaboom oh shut UP

[@zainabpatel6213]

Im watching this video over a year after you posted it, and i'm so sorry you had to go through this. Your story reminded me of lots of my friendships which have gone wrong. You get close to someone for too long, and they start to show their true colours. If you think about it, it could have been a lot worse. He could have manipulated you further, so it's better that you realised sooner than later. We've all been through bad friendships, its a part of life. Thanks for sharing, lots of love xxxx

[@kimberlywilliams3008]

I love how honest and revealing you are in your videos. It amazes me how you are able to open up and feel at ease to show us glimpses of the real you. You don't come off as a persona or fake in any way. I also admire how you go out of your way to give as balanced a version of what you are talking about as possible. It never comes off as slanted or only from your point of view, but also takes into consideration the other persons feelings as well.

[@SilverScreenJean]

It is always sad when you realize that nothing is left to salvage in any relationship. But his jealousy? As a friend? So petty. I don't know if you realize it now but you were wise to walk away. Sounds like a toxic friendship despite the fun times.

[@SilverScreenJean]

+SilverScreenJean Btw- some qualities you describe are similar to a sociopath.

[@georginataylor4617]

There are some mental health conditions that manifest in this kind of emotional behaviour and insecurity. I'm not saying, in this case, it is correct but it is a possibility. If it is the case no matter how you may treat him, he is not able to react how you would normally especially if he has had no help with it. Just a thought

[@cherylann8292]

I really really felt how difficult this relationship was for u to deal with. I have had a similar experience with a friend,she ended up admitting to me that she had Borderline Personality Disorder. I,like u,tried and tried to save the friendship but she was so delusional with accusations she was coming up with. Long story short,it did not end well or easy at all,and i miss her to this day 3 yrs later. I can feel that u are a very genuine truthful,very feeling person,an empath. Thank u for sharing💜

[@michaelhofby]

Some people just dont see the world around them as you do.. I see it like you too, its about loyality, trust and true friendship. But the hard lesson is just to learn that most people do not live by those principals at all.. Most people i have known and still know live very shallow lifes if you look at it objectively. It is about having as many in your telephone book as possible and its not really important if you know these people or not, the important thing is the quantity not the quality of their relationships.. Best thing i decided is to keep very few very close to me and screw the rest because you dont need that many.

[@192OOIDJJ3]

Michael Trier-hofby Well said, that's exactly how it is. I live with these experinces. Old friends always say, "You're so sensitive, you're being a bitch", etc. All the excuses just to ignore true facts. Makes me sick.

[@midnightblue1031]

Had this very thing happen to me with two of my friends a year ago. Omitted them from my life altogether, I'm the happiest I've ever been since. Much love your way!

[@kumasucki]

Wayne, I love your honesty. You're so down to earth. Keep your head up. Keep being true to yourself

[@MrNinjalicious]

I know this is an old video, but so many of us can relate to this. I grieved the death of a long, close friendship, but we both realized we had grown in different ways. I know it is a cliche, but these words comforted me when I knew this friendship had run its course: "Some friends are there for a reason, some people are friends for a season, and some people are friends for a lifetime." Toxic friendships will die a natural death, but you can always cherish any good memories the two of you once had. While it can be hard (especially for sensitive people) to set healthy boundaries, you simply have to for your own well-being. Doing so has made more room (in my life, at least) for the true friends who are warm, authentic and kind. I'm so grateful for them. In closing, I wish you, Wayne, all success and happiness for the New Year!

[@krisbk1258]

I know this is old but I have a friend who I have similar issues with but I love her so much and it's hard to let go after 13 years. I just recently realized how unhealthy and one sided our friendship is. now I just need to get the nerve to end that chapter. your story really inspired me. thanks luv

[@orbitrob1]

This was a life lesson Wayne! Learning to realise that you don't have to bend over backwards to please people, we teach people how to treat us and in the old days you were probably looking for validation, not wanting conflict, afraid of upsetting anyone. Some of us as we get older finally get it!! How it works, what truly is important in life and then we learn to cut out all the bullshit! Be proud of the Wayne you are today!xx

[@DaleCooper222]

I was watching your videos, and i find your story, then i read all the comments and now i feel more free and relieved than before, i'm going through a very similar situation and i just sitting watching videos not being able to do nothing more than think in an actual friendship, when i was thinking that things can't happen in a 20 years old friendship i see now it happens, it's a shame

[@Anabriella]

I had a very similar friendship and ended that too. It's hard because you always want to see the good in people but sometimes they're too selfish to be a true friend. We don't need people in our lives that make us feel bad when we do well. You look lovely today by the way x

[@DREAM-Marie-Home-Garden7]

thanks for sharing this. I also lost my so call best friend of over twenty something years for a person she met just over a year. It hurt but I was happy that I didn't have to waste another minute around her in that toxic friendship..

[@RAWmaniak]

Hi Wayne. I have been watching your tutorials for about a month. People say things happen for a reason. I have been friends with a person for 13 years and until seeing your video, I would have just continued our friendship out of kindness. Your story was an inspiration to me and I'm going to let my friendship go. It is so draining on me and no one should have to walk on egg shells to be in a friendship. Thank you, Wayne. Now I know why I started watching you.I deserve better than her. Thank you.

[@cris_irie]

Keep sharing personal stories i love getting to know you better! i love you Wayne !!

[@d.e.p.5624]

I totally agree: he seems a lovely human being!

[@Danazulove1]

I love how you're so open about your life ( to some extent). It's refreshing and sweet.

[@Stardustceiling]

Thank you for sharing this. It is strange when that sort of thing happens. How you just know that it's different now and there is nothing you can do about it. I ended a 29 yr. close friendship 7 years ago for pretty much the same reasons. You can't wonder why, you simply mourn the loss and get on with life. Because when that little voice tells you it's over, even if you don't leave and you keep trying, it's still over. You find yourself still missing them, even while you're talking to them. Because something vital has changed. Whether it's a close friendship, or a love relationship. If you constantly feel that your genuine caring is being wasted on someone who has gone in the direction of shallowness. Rather than trying to grow, and be good to, and for you also. Then leave. Hanging in there hoping it will change is a waste of your valuable, irreplaceable time/life. Remember the good times and use that positivity to wish them well. Keep being the lovely person you are, true friends will always see your worth and treat you accordingly.

[@tierneykarger5682]

I love your honesty. The 4 agreements I read it several years ago and has helped me in relationships such as yours. It's not about you. It's about him and his feelings of probable inadequacies he feels about himself. He sees your success and your talent and instead of being happy for you like a true friend would be he shuts you out. You seem like a lovely person. Focus on the good in your life ,your accomplishments and surround yourself with the people who care for you because of who you are.

[@tardisMC]

I grew up as an international child. I moved around every three or four years or so. I've made fantastic friends, but as time goes on, or after I had moved away, these friends stopped being there for me eventually. I'd always be there for them in their times of need. But when I went through severe depression, feeling lonely and lost from a new move, none of them were there to help me. All I wanted was to talk or an email back. I felt so alone. Two of my best friends said they were always busy with college assignments and such. Yet, I saw them leave eachother essays on their Facebooks. But they couldn't spare any time for me. Eventually, one of my best friends basically told me she was too good for me, because she was going to a private college. I feel that this is unfair. I can't afford a private college, although I have the grades and capacity to attend one. I just didn't understand why I wasn't good enough for my friends anymore. I ended up deleting my Facebook because it was just painful. I feel much better and met someone who is truly great.

[@BelindaShort]

+tardisMC Generally people you are friends with when you are young will change drastically throughout time. You'd be lucky to hold onto two or three people you knew from high school.

[@ambermyers9174]

I'm so sorry you went through this. All I can say is that those people were never really true friends. I hope you are now surrounded by people who truly love you for who you are and always will be..not bc of what college you attended. How fucking shallow.

[@Tillys_Travels]

You lost one friend (sounds like it was very onesided though), but have NOW gained so much more. You are now the person you can be! You have helped and inspired more people than you can imagine. You are a natural teacher and your passion is palpable. You did nothing wrong Wayne - you moved on with your life, but he is stuck in the same place and nothing you could have done could have changed it. You are fabulous, and this is what you were meant to do - something you love.

[@imablazeuonfiya]

this reminds me alot about a best friend that i once considered like a brother to me. at 1st, it was fun, but then he wud start to secretly try and compete with me, act really shady, blame me for screw ups, gossip behind my back. and try to cut me down with his remarks. he just came off very fake to me. the one that really made me pull the plug on the friendship was when he tried to tell me that my country (Guyana and Guyanese people) were not West Indian. they are South American. i told him "bro Guyana is geographically South American, historically/culturally/politically West Indian as it is apart of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), the British West Indies/Anglophone Caribbean, and the West Indies Cricket team." but he was so rude that he just brushed my comments to the side and kinda just laughed at me. i ignored it. but then he started to say it again to me. i was really angry with him since his dad was from Guyana but his moms from Trinidad and he wud only rep his trini side to the point that he wud 4get that hes half Guyanese. he just made me sick to my stomach. after a while i started to realize that he just used me for entertainment in his mind. i started to try and avoid him. one day i was hanging with my boy and he asked about my "friend" and all of a sudden i just spilled about how pissed i was at him and then it hit me. if u have to talk about your friend in that manner, u need to reevaluate whether this was a real friend or not. that it was hard but i had to realize that our friendship was not what i thought it was. when that happened. i just cut him off. when he'd call me, i wudnt answer it, when he texted me, i wudnt reply, i blocked him from facebook and in about a few months, the communication just ended. its been 2 years since we spoke and probably never will speak (which is what i want) sometimes i look back and think if things wuda been different, but then my common sense kicked in and said "no it wudnt" cutting him off was the best thing that ever happened to me

[@emily94P]

OMG!! I was in the same situation too. Just ended a friendship with my 5 years friend. She was just couldnt live with the fact that I need to hang out with other friends beside her! so glad I choose to walk about, now I feel free, so many good things and good friends come to me as well... So, yeah, good on you too..

[@katygemelli4835]

PS. I think everything happens for a reason, sometimes we never figure out what that reason is. We learn to live with that. Your a sweet likeable person and i'm sure a good friend. I think he was probably jealous of your accomplishments and that your happy in life..and he's not...

[@emmaoconnell5548]

You've said exactly what happened to me - it makes you sad that you have lost a friend but at the same time, friends aren't jealous of each other or resent how the others life is falling into place ( marriage kids etc) you definitely don't need people like that xxxxxxxxxxx love your down to earth attitude - its very refreshing xxx

[@sylvieo2231]

Close the door and don't look back there is nothing there for you. Look ahead at all the wonderful things that's waiting for you. You will be very happy again. Your a really good looking talented young man. There is a special man out there waiting for you. We your fans are all out here and we love you! Your who you are and I for one Love you♥

[@loriciccarelli]

Wayne- I just found this video and I can't tell you how much I can relate to what you're going through. I, too, have a friend just like this and I'm currently trying to deal with losing the friend, in an attempt to weed out the drama and the people who don't care out of my life. Stay strong! There are plenty of better fish in the sea. Love ya!

[@andreaquigley7595]

I have had friends like that. It's not you who has done anything wrong. Sometimes they are just jealous of you. Even if you think there isn't anything to be jealous about. Some people are just that way. It is sad to lose them as friends but then you realize that the only real friend was you to begin with. So you did really lose a friend you just stop being someone's door mat.

[@janegrieble6020]

I think this post helped me realize what I have known a long time about a "friend" I have had for 13 years. It is very hard when you know the friendship is over and the person works 5 feet away from you. I am so glad you are free from the situation. Thank you for sharing.

[@cclarke9301]

I'm getting around to watching some of your older videos. This one really touched me as I had something similar happen to me. I still don't really understand why I was cast aside.

[@tracik1277]

To understand why you were cast aside (I feel for you btw, it's awful) try looking up narcissistic personality disorder and cluster b personality disorders (borderline, histrionic &c). There is a relationship 'pattern' that these people follow. It's not you, it's them and their personality disorder.

[@que292]

Wayne, I love you! People come & go in our lives. I'm sure this friend served a purpose at the time. Without the pain of the disintegration of the friendship, you might not be where you are today. Leaving your job, doing makeup full time...& helping all of us!!! Sometimes it's sad looking back, but you met up, & you realize that he's not going to change. So you can have some of those fun memories, & now it's time to look forward. You're obviously a man of integrity, hard working and talented! XO

[@elmerem239]

It happened to me but in a bit different way, I had that friend whom I always supported her whenever she needed me. But then my life started going down and her life was going well for her, she changes since then, she became cocky and started treating me with disrespect and trying to put me down and judge me on everything I do, and when I needed her she wasnt there for me, I even started to believe that i am stupid and dump as she used to call me. I realized then that this was a toxic friendship and I silently cut all contacts with her because I know that if i confront her she will blame me for it no matter what.

[@imablazeuonfiya]

i had to do this with an old best friend who was like a brother to me. it hurts but after a while, people like that will erode your self esteem. and if u confront them, theyll find a way to turn it around. and if u forgive them, after a while, theyll make it out that you were the one who was tripping out. its better to give people like that the cold shoulder. block them on facebook, twitter etc dont answer the phone. dont reply to texts. it hurts them more

[@sarwatnifa151]

[@nicolep101]

Good Riddance!!! I've been tossed aside my whole life. But now it seems to kinda b happening to my daughter. It makes me so sad. She's only 9, she's bright, kind & beautiful (jus like her momma😉) But a new school year is starting & I'm hoping it'll be a better experience! Bcuz she use to love school & last year she started to Absolutely Dread going. I'm gonna cut this short, b4 I start blubbering like a Lil baby.... I jus found this channel & I really like it!

[@KrystynaD100]

I've recently had a similar experience. Embrace the good, and realize that at some point you need to have the self respect to distance yourself from people who were never as supportive to you as you were to them. They can only bring you down. There is no shame in that. :) Love your channel, and your honesty.

[@paulaswann4851]

This is sad. It has happened to me. I was left hurt and confused. Some friendships have an experation date.

[@lindachardon1389]

I absolutely adore your honesty. I went through the same thing with my sister. It is very painful. The most painful thing was to finally be able to let go and realize I will never know why she treated me the way she did and that walking away from her was the most healthy thing I could do for myself. It is heartbreaking. But it opens you up to allow the people of like minds into your life. If you still allowed him to belittle you, you would not have grown. You have great strength. xoxo

[@odetteisforever]

The bad news is, you have to feel bad for these people. They are suffering so much because they want someone to prove to them that they are important.

[@makeupdealsforever40]

wow...I had this also. I cleaned my closet (rid of toxic friends). I loved them like family but I was tired of the " it is about me" attitude. I realized that I am better off with people who have the same ideals, goals, and dreams like myself. No hate them but they are out of my life. You are a strong man not to let that person put poison in your soul. Your fans care and respect you.We enjoy hearing about your life, talent, and experiences. Please keep posting.

[@Megan6772]

1st let me just say that I love you & your work, I think you're adorable and HOT! I *just* came out of a situation/friendship like this one...with a coworker also. She is 20 years older than me & emotionally volatile. Claustrophobic is a good word, felt like I was constantly walking on eggshells. She was jealous of everything also, to the point where I actually would tone down my true happiness around her, would withhold good news, & would feign the response I knew she wanted, just to not send her into one of her spirals. I too always start inquisition with myself and my behavior...but I/you have done nothing wrong and while you are so sweet to still consider him a friend (bc you're a positive person & probably focus on the positive) I'm sorry to say but he is not a true friend. He is toxic & you made the right choice not only for yourself but for him as well. He needs to heal. It is natural to grieve but this is not really a loss my friend. Much peace and love to you xxx

[@binksma1]

I had a similar experience with someone I was friends with for 10 years. There was always, drama and manipulation going on. But I always thought I had to be a good friend and be supportive no matter what. But I had a lightbulb moment when I realised this person does not have my best interests at heart, and somehow does not like to see me happy. It was a toxic friendship and I never regretted ending it. Wayne you are sooo inspirational, the more I see of you the more I love you! Thank you!

[@24hoursonline1]

The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway. Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway. In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.

[@Kat22Kit]

Thank you for making this video. I lost almost all my friends in college when I became very ill. I guess no one wants to hang out with the sick girl, to be honest I probably wasn't much fun to be around. They had had enough of me cancelling plans, not going out, skipping lunches. I thank God for my bff, who's known me since we were 13. She saw the changes in me and accepted them. I have aquantainces, but my bff is who I consider a true friend. I hope you surround yourself with great people too.

[@ReformationOfBeauty]

should keep people that close to them if they are not toxic themselves. You also inspire me by sharing how you did makeup for years but also worked other jobs, but then when you left the job it was actually a blessing that you did not initially see.

It's tough to lose a close friend. The longer the friendship, the more difficult to break away. Good for you Wayne!

[@AlliWritesNow]

I adore you! Why is it that the most talented, poetic, creative & beautiful souls are the loneliest? I don't know you personally, but I watch you, my daughters watch over my shoulder as I explain to them that you are the very best at what you do, the reason why I want them to watch your tutorials is because I want them to be the best at whatever they do as well. Your passion, effort and love for your craft is beyond inspirational. I'm a writer, not a MUA, in fact, since my mom died when I was 11, I wasn't around makeup and never properly learned what was what or how to apply it, UNTIL NOW. Wayne. you've inspired me, I'm 35 years old and now LOVE to play with makeup, I do pretend tutorials on my daughters and myself and am slowly building a kit. I know I'm just another follower, but should you read this, please know that you're not alone, I've struggled with similar issues in my life and I can relate to your friendship issue. I apologize for being allover the place. Love from CalBeautie

[@MagicwithSabrinaWebb]

I really agree with what you're saying. Friends who don't treat us well - don't deserve us. It's easier said than done but letting them go is brilliant in the long run. I've been there time and time again and it really does allow you to grow when you get away from negative people. i

[@Brisbaneman]

I am impressed with this guy. He is extremely warm-hearted and what he says about losing friends is dead right. You need to know when to move on and to let the past go as you will feel freer as a consequence.

[@Solja88]

This happened to me twice, one with a friend of 15years, the other a friend of 19years. The heartbreak almost killed me but I moved on,and now don't even want them back. It's their loss. Keep your head high, we love you.

[@user-oj3iw1us7p]

If your friends don't want good things to happen to you, then they're not the kind of people you want to have as friends. You need people around you who will build you up, not tear you down while trying make you feel badly about who you are. You seem to be a lovely person!

[@cottontolly8278]

I have had the same situation a few times and it is sad when you realize that your close friend will no longer be a part of your life in anyway. From my experiences I think the root of the matter is they are miserable with their life and aren't able to progress. They're stuck. The ones I've known turned out to be controlling, narcissistic, and toxic. It's very sad. This guy clearly has some serious issues. He's the one with the problem not you. You handled the situation with grace and it's probably for the best. Keep your chin up

Awww Wayne that's awesome you are so open with your fans. Those situations are always hard I had to end a friendship with a friend I've known since I was 8 and I'm 27 now. I ended the friendship about 6 months ago. It was a major loss but Ive gained so much from that loss. I've gained perspective. They say if you ain't losin friends you ain't growin. Chin up love your videos you encourage me :)

[@nataliedrapeau3859]

Hi Wayne, I enjoyed listening to your story. I could feel that you have a big heart. I could feel that you still love this person, but recognize that it is no longer possible to pursue it. I can see that you have grown and learned from it. That is the important thing, although it hurt as hell and the sadness remains and will remain,but will be much easier to deal with as the years go by. Everything happens for a reason, cliché, but true. Keep up the good work. Hugs. Natalie

I had work colleagues who I thought were friends but when I needed them this year for a situation that occurred this year,they stopped getting in contact,I was very hurt by this.I think it makes you a stronger person and won't let the same situation happen again.I think you truly are an amazing person and you certainly do not need friends like that.

[@sadcholaclown9163]

I'm 32 and going through the same exact thing! I think that some of us continue to grow while others stay rooted in the same mentality that they had in their twenties. This is why many people find this sort of thing happening to them in their thirties or forties.

I know exactly the type of individual you have described. Those types of personalities cannot deal with reality, life as it appears and situations as they happen. Those that aren't content and intimate with what really matters will never be fulfilled, so they must elaborate so that they create a reality in which they can like who they are themselves. They have no self esteem to speak of. Most of their personal worth validation comes from you reacting to their fit of the day. When someone does something solely for the reaction they are almost sure you will produce, you reassuring them is their pay off. It's a kind of psychological manipulation. They only do something so you will give them personal validation. I think he was chummy with less than desirable individuals is because he was at home around them; comfortable with those he knew weren't better than he was; "birds of a feather flock together". He knows you are a different kind of bird than he. Those who have a healthy outlook on life make this type of person incredibly uncomfortable and if possible, even more insecure. It isn't your fault things went south. I was married to this exact kind of bird for 14 years. There is no way to reach them because they don't deal with or live in the now, the reality. They will never truly be happy or content with life because there is no substance to their character. So much of them is counterfeit that you will never know him and he will never know himself. It is truly a sad state really. So, chin up and onward to those who are aware of life and its beauty and all the joy that is possible to be had!

[@lindachardon1389]

You are a funny, talented, creative, smart, sensitive and noble person from what I can see and you deserve better. I comment you for sharing your feelings. We have all been down the same road and it is painful. It is truly his loss. I would love to take his place as a friend of yours any day. Quality friends are hard to find and I have a hard time finding ones that are worth my energy anymore. Hang in there, you did the right thing. :)

[@jd72610]

Sad losing a long time friend like that. I know exactly how you feel. It is crazy how you can share so many memories with one person and then never see them again. You are brave for knowing who your true friends are and letting go of the poisonous ones.

[@robotrocsi4954]

Bless u Wayne,I'm going through a similar situation with my soon to be former friend and ur words give me comfortb

[@shawnhays6052]

The fantastic thing is that you have grown from your past, you have experienced life and failures and it has created wonderful facets. It's sad that sometimes our friends have no ability to grow or change, to accept their faults and let them create strengths. I know this kind of melancholy, I have a few friends that while it's wonderful to reflect on what we did, I could never go back. xo

[@kathleencanning6084]

it happens and its not nice ,toxic people will always be around ,good for you making the right decision

[@Pistolwhip94]

You're a strong guy, Wayne. I don't think I would have the courage to cut that friendship like you did. This video also spoke to me in a way of realizing I do some of this myself. I feel kind of shitty now too. My boyfriend gets fed up with me acting like that sometimes and I get mad at my best friend for the same reason. I think I need t work on that before they cut the relationship with me like you did to your friend. Thank you for sharing and thank you for putting something in perspective.

[@ellecee6098]

I had that happen to me with my best friend of 24 years. I went to high school with her, I'm now in my 40's. I got engaged and she started to distance herself but when I asked her what was wrong, she said"I just dont give a shit about you anymore". I felt literally heartbroken. I still dont know to this day what her problem was and I'm at the stage where I dont care anymore.

[@ladiijulie]

Good for you. I totally understand. Sucks when friends change yes, but it's so liberating when it finally dawns in you that it's not worth to continue nurturing, and you're able to have your dignity intact because you know you did everything in your power that you could, and yet you still have the strength to walk away from it...it's a very sobering experience. Unfortunately some people just grow older never maturing. Hope you feel better! We've all been there!

[@lilijenkins3859]

Seeing you about to cry breaks my heart. 😟 People change as we grow older and at times we grow in different directions thus growing apart. This happened with myself and my ex-husband and I have also had this happen with friends. Those who truly love you and have your best interests at heart don't allow anyone or anything come between you. You are a beautiful person and I wouldn't let someone effect you too much because you are very much deserving of loyal and loving friendships. ❤️💋

[@MistyHuslinger]

I can totally relate. This story hit me on a deeply personal level because five years ago I moved to NY with my then boyfriend, now husband, and left behind the small town I had basically grown up in. Which of course was hard in and of itself but I also left my family and my very best friend but it was something at the time that for myself, my daughter, and my husband we felt we needed to do. Anyway, try to cut this down some, I moved but stayed in touch with my best friend on a regular basis. Probably not as often as I should have but life has a tendency to get in the way. Well not long after I'd moved I found out I was pregnant with a child I was told medically I'd never be able to have so I was very excited and couldn't wait to share the news with my friend but it felt like when I did is when things started to change for us. It wasn't long after my announcement that she very quickly met and married her now husband and I wanna say two months into the marriage found out she was also expecting. My timing is probably off some but it's been five years so bare with me lol. It was fast. Like bump, bump, bump. Which if she was happy then by all means I was happy for her and to top it off we got to embark on this journey together...sort of. And we did through text updates and phone conversations as often as we could. Things were great. Or so I thought. But after my son was born and so was hers I moved back home. I tried contacting her and she came up with some off the wall excuse to not meet up but I left the ball in her court and thought she's busy so I understand. But as days, then weeks, then months passed I couldn't understand why I was suddenly getting the cold shoulder. I don't know what I did. I've been back now for four years. I've accidentally bumped into her twice (maybe three times if you count glancing at the stranger across the store that was once my best friend) in the grocery store and the first time she acted like she had not a clue what I was talking about. Gave me her new cell number and said call me we'll get together. But she never answered nor did she return my call. The next chance meeting she acted as though she'd never met me. 16 years. We were friends for 16 years and I still to this day haven't got a clue what I did to make her brush me off. To just wash her hands of me for no good reason. She was like a sister to me. And now she's just someone I used to know. :( So friends definitely change and sometimes it sux big time. But I guess that saying that some people are only meant to be in our lives for a certain season or reason is true and I guess for me and my friend that season had passed. But thank you for sharing your story it's nice to know others deal with this and I don't just repel people for no good reason ;-) Hope that you don't mind that I shared my short (kind of lengthy) story here. Like I said yours just hit home so I felt compelled to share. :D

[@sammie460]

It was really nice to see this more personal side of you :-) I had a best friend all through high school and into college. However as we got older I started maturing, I got a full time job while in college, got a car, lived on my own. And she was still not ready for those steps. She wanted to live at home, with her parent's financial support and was upset when I had no time to hang out with her (due to work) We quickly grew apart and our lives continue to be opposite. I wish her the best

[@samiuelsami1238]

Wayne..the art of fabrication is very hard specially when you are a genuine person..some people are a master of doing that. With me I changed as a friend when I had been friends with for 7 years snd like you I couldn't deal with it anymore. ..I hate jealously and cant tolerate a minute with such person so I can understand you

[@slapcabbage]

Yes it's sad when you suddenly "see" isn't it? It took me several years to realise that my friend was very much a "Mimi" (me me!!!) and I really did mourn the loss of the friendship - and did the classic mourning too - anger, bitterness, sadness and acceptance. But I realise now how unhealthy and imbalanced it was and feel relief I'm no longer caught up in it. We have met for coffee once or twice but it only serves to show that we have both moved on and I really feel happier for it!

[@Trisha829]

I have loved the videos you've posted on makeup application, however, this video is my new favorite. Thank you for sharing a bit of who you really are with your cyber-friends. With regard to your friend- he was never going to be the friend you deserve because he isn't capable of honesty. Whether it was concerning the situation 2 yrs. ago or this one- he couldn't deliver an appropriate, genuine interaction- for whatever reason. Still, it hurts, I know too well. Bless you and your sweet heart!

[@MsCavalier01]

Hi Wayne, Sometimes we need to let go of the people that hold us back and cause us to limit ourselves in our own capabilities because we're afraid of hurting them. What bugs me is I give so much of myself and when someone takes that for granted it hurts. I say you did the right thing when you let go of that person who wasn't worth your energy. You've definitely made a success out of your career. Thanks for sharing!! Best to you and I enjoy watching your videos!! xox ~ Colleen

[@mindwhisperer5876]

I've been watching you all day, and I created an account just to comment to you...my first you tube comment. I just felt it was so important to let you know this "friend" is so obviously suffering from a personality disorder... The behaviors you describe are indicative of a person who is mentally ill, regardless if he is able to function at a somewhat reasonable level. You didn't do anything to be on the receiving end of this person's strange behavior, and you really need to know that! You are dear, and I do so enjoy hearing your story. Thank you for the tutorials, it is clear you are not only talented, but you have a true passion for what you do.

[@egomod]

It's interesting how I feel as though I am starting to get to know you by watching your channels. I am a painfully shy person and often seek out tips and tricks on the internet rather than in person when possible. It's been neat for me to watch your videos in particular because not only are you an impossibly knowledgeable and gifted make-up artist with really wonderful ideas and tips but you also offer your information in a really personable and honest way. Not only do I learn a lot about make up from you, but you always make me feel good about myself and the world around me. You are a very beautiful person inside and out. This video in particular rocked me a bit, as I am sort of going through this kind of change in my life and it seems that most people don't really want to talk about it, especially those involved. It's nice to hear other opinions on such a heavy topic. Thanks again!

[@LCassell82]

This is so common. I'm a great believer in things happening for a reason, this relationship steered you to the path you're on today. Its hard and hurtful, but you've emerged the better person for it.

[@NREnger]

If I could give you a big hug I would love to. I am going through the same thing with my friend of 20yrs. It is hard to accept that nothing is holding the friendship together anymore after that many years. I needed to hear this. Thank you!! All my best to you.

[@cornonthecob]

Great post. People come and go for a reason, it's just another chapter in our lives. I've been through this and sometimes we're just better off!
