I think I am loosing my best friend. She has been hanging out alot with someone else, and when she isnt she always has excuses. she isnt the same person, i know she has to change, but i mean- she is obsessed with her weight and eating. Im not really worried about that though, i just miss her. what should i do? just forget about her?
Siren_Cytherea answered Monday January 17 2005, 10:15 pm: If you're worried about it, approach her one day and tell her you'd like to talk to her about something, and tell her what you're feeling. Tell her you miss her. Ask her what's going on. Point out that you think you're splitting apart, and you feel like you're losing her. If you don't tell her how you feel, how's she going to know? If she doesn't know, how can she do anything about it? Communicate first before you do anything. ALWAYS talk about your feelings. You might be able to stop the friendship from dying if you point out what you see to her. Be prepared, though, she might be a little defensive if you tell her "you're not the same person" and stuff like that. Make an effort to emphasize that these are things YOU are feeling, and not necessarily the way things are. Don't just forget about her, though. You've gotta tell her what you're feeling.
I hope this helps!

I understand she might be a little uncomftable as far as her weight goes and thats normal and probably not her fault. Its natural to not like yourself at times. Since you've been a friend to her I think you should tell her what your feeling so far and wish for the best. At this poinr thats all you can do. Dont forget about her because I dont think shes trying to make you upset on purpose.
Good luck!

Karen answered Monday January 17 2005, 6:23 pm: Never ever forget about your best friend. You need to talk to her and tell her how you feel. I know how it feels to think you are losing a best friend because it almost happened to me. My best friend would always go out with her other friends and not include me in. Anyways, forget about my story, you need to let your friend know that you don't want her to make excuses when you want to hang out with her. Just talk to her. Hope I helped :)

BurnetteBaby13579 answered Monday January 17 2005, 6:20 pm: Maybe she's telling you she doesn't want to be friends anymore. I know EXACTLY how you feel. My BFF hangs out with other people now, and she's changed a lot. I miss her, but sometimes you just need to move on. If yout alk to her that might help. You could invtite her over some time so you can work things out. If you don't want to let go then don't. You could just focus on your other friends and let her do what she wants. But in the meantime you can still talk and hang out.
brokenxoxpoetic answered Monday January 17 2005, 6:09 pm: never forget about her. sit down and talk to her about it. Dont get defensive, just listen to her if she's getting upset. if she says she just needs to move on, tell her that you're there for her if she needs you. that way, she'll know that you're still her friend. sooner or later she'll need you to be there for her.

cowgurl answered Monday January 17 2005, 6:06 pm: No, do not forget about her. She is your best friend. And if you truly love her, then you would not give up on her that easily would you? Well, hmm* Try talking to her. See what she has to say about it. Find a day when she is not busy & spend a day out together. Then jus` talk about what has been on your mind. Maybe she has been busy or something. I have heard this from my high school friends a lot, they say sometimes people jus` drift apart. Rather it be slowly or rapidly. Maybe it jus` happens. But still, try talking to her. =) I hope I helped!

mysterycocomix answered Monday January 17 2005, 6:04 pm: Sometimes friends need a little change. You can always ask her to spend the night and talk about "the good 'ol days." Things change. So do personality. Especially when people start to change. Hope i helped!
