Biggest lesson i have probably ever learned is 9 times out of 10, if the friendship failed the first time, it is NOT going to work in future. Yes people can change but not everyone is willing to.

Just because someone has changed doesn't mean you are obligated to befriend who they've become. You change too, and you're always allowed to choose to become someone new—to learn, to grow beyond where you were when you met that person initially.
Yeah. If I give someone a second chance to redeem themselves because I'm willing to hear them out, and they still decide to cross my boundaries or anything like that...that's when I decide to let them go
Obviously, I wish anyone that isn't in my life anymore the best for getting their act together, but sometimes it's best to distance yourself from others who aren't beneficial to your mental health, overall.
Got enough shit from life already as it is and don't need anything extra on top of it.

Change is almost always an internal process; we can't shape others into being who we want them to be. We can only try to be our best selves.
Used to have a hard time setting boundaries with friendships years back and it led to so much needless stress for myself.
