Start with the task
Decide whether the friendship needs a conversation, reset, more space, or a kind ending. The page list moves from a broad concern to one article with a concrete next step.
Friendship
Adult friendship, one-sided effort, jealousy, drifting apart, asking for space, and respectful endings.
Use the safety split
If a topic involves threats, control, stalking, harassment, self-harm threats, or legal pressure, start with support resources instead of trying to word the perfect conversation.
Use neighboring pages
Related links are chosen to change the reader's lens, not to loop them through generic articles. Use them when the first page reveals that the real issue is repair, a boundary, documentation, or outside support.
