"To everything there is a season,"  Eccl, 3:1

There are season in your life you have to take a break from people, places and things.  And there are times circumstances have to be severed all together. It has nothing to do with them but where you're going and what you need now. 

If one doesn't desire to grow with you; discern, shift, or can meet and support you where you are, the inevitable will eventually happen. Close relationships should include reciprocity on your level. 

Define relationships and place them in proper perspective. What you need now may be very different than what you'll need later. If one doesn't adapt and shift with you, one can't go with you.

That doesn't always mean severing ties. But, if one doesn't desire to grow, you will remain stuck trying to please people who only leach from you but don't learn from you.

How will you know? You'll see a very different side of them when you shift.  Stagnant water stink and can become toxic.  It's a clear indication they were not planning to adjust to your new season of change or grow with you. You may've fed an unmet need unannounced- they deemed you responsible  and able to fill.

You're not responsible for other's feelings, growth and need for belonging.
You're not responsible to fill anyone else's cup.
