Top 10 Ways Friends Could Have Ended

The Top Ten
1 It Was Phoebe's Imagination All Along

She never managed to get her life back on track after her mother’s suicide, and she’s desperately wishing for a group of friends. She sees the gang at the coffee house each day, makes up names for them and builds her dream life into theirs.

2 They're All Residents Of A Mental Asylum Fabricating Perfect Lives

All six of them are residents at a mental asylum, and they have built perfect lives to hide from the harsh realities of their mental health issues.

Chandler was scarred by his parents’ divorce; Joey crumbled under the pressure of being the only boy in a family of fiery Italian women; Monica was left scarred by her school bullying; Rachel had serious Daddy issues and was self-destructive; Ross has abandonment issues, and Phoebe never came to terms with her Mother’s suicide.

It ends before Rachel's decision is clear.

4 Everyone Grows Up And Live Like Adults

By the end, the characters were getting too old to be living the same lifestyles as they had for the previous 9 seasons.

Ross and Rachel were too old to be constantly going through on/off relationship breaks, and the premise of the show kind of stopped working.
