Question Posted Wednesday January 26 2005, 3:22 pm
I feel my best friend and I are growing apart. I really hate this happening. Today she signed up for a different sport than me. I didn't care that much about the sport she didn't sign up for, but when I asked if she was still doing field hockey she said yes but then our other two friends said no so she cahnged her mind. And she always talks about these two girls I hate but she's friends with. I mean it's not that she's friends with them but my other friends who are friends with them understand I don't care for them that much so they leave those two out of the conversation. But my BEST friend doesn't. I just want to know what to do. Can anyone help? Thnks.
First let me say Im so sorry you and your best arent as close as you used to be. But you must realize that people do grow apart. It's inevitable. As people grow older they change. Keep this in mind. You and your friends, as hard as you may try, probably will not be friends forever.
Instead if wishing you could keep your friend with you, why not be happy that's she's made new friends. I know you may not like the new people she is hanging out with, but it is really not your place to judge. Simply be a true friend and be happy for her.
In turn, make some new friends of your own. Take this time to try new things and meet new people. Be thankful you and your best had your time together. Life cannot stand still forever. Be happy and move on.
