My best friend nichole and I have drifted a part


Question Posted Thursday December 23 2004, 1:06 pm

My best friend and I dont ever hang out anymore. Her and I got in this really big fight back in November and we didnt speak to eachother for a few weeks. We both kind of brought our parents into our fight so now my mom doesnt like her and she never lets me go over to her house. Its like her and I are only friends in school and not outside of school. And sometimes in school she'll be with her other best friend who is a guy(my ex) and when she is with him, its like I dont exist to her. What do I do? It just seems like her and I have completly drifted apart. What can I do to make our friendship stornger.I havent really hung out with her or had a decent converstion with her in well over 3 months. When we talk on the phone she is always on her computer and I am wathing TV or listening to music and we dont even talk on the phone, we just sit there and it bothers the fuck out of me. We honestly can be on the phone for like 2 hrs and we will only have said maybe 5 mins of a conversation. PLease help me!

Maybe you should plan a get together with her and do something that you both enjoy. Communication is a main key to any type of relationship. Stop using outside sources to fix your distance when it is yours and her frienship that is on the line. You two have a problem, work it out and squash the matter. The bond between you two should be strong enough to overcome anything. Be the bigger person and resolve the issue and get together and have fun again. It seems that you two have to put the issue to rest so do it. Don't let an argument end what could be a lifetime of friendship. Misery loves company so don't be its friend. Get your friend back.

get together and talk it over in person, if yall can't accomplish that then you can't do anything.

Me personally I would just dump her cause what is the use of bein friends if you cant be friends outside of school but you can be on the inside of school. She acts like you dont exist. yea U should definetely dump her.

Friendships take work. Just because you had a fight doesn't mean you should give up on her. I think that you two need to talk. See where you're at after that. As well as keeping up old friendships, making new friends is never bad either. As much as you work at something, the other might not be interested at all. In that scenario, it's nice to have other friends to fall back on. I hope you two get things worked out, good friends are the best :-)
Good luck!

Unfortunately, friendships sometimes dissipate just like love relationships do. It can be just as sad and just as painful. You can try to mend things just by always being there for her and being a good friend, but if things don't look hopeful, then she is probably moving on. I know what this is like, it sucks to go through, I think I'm at the end of a 10 year long friendship and it's like i'm grieving over a death. Try to keep yourself busy, think happy thoughts, and go about your life, making new friends along the way. Hope it all works out for ya!!

Well, what you can try to do is meet somewhere. Like at the mall. YOu can ask your mom to drop you off at the mall. And meet your friend in a store. Or at another store like a deli or somin. Hope i helped -----ryan

Well in that case, I don't think that trying to fix this by talking on the phone is going to help you. I think you two need to find some time alone somewhere to figure it out. I mean face to face that way you know you are really listening to each other and not just being polite. Then at that time discuss that problem you two had and hopefully you guys will be able to look past it and be friends again.
