Changing Friend.
This might be long, but...
I'm friends with this person whom, for the purpose of this question, I'll call Charlene. As a frequent user of IRC chatrooms, I met her in one. It is a site where everyone pretty much knows each other and goes to often, most people also often talk on the phone and set up meetings in real life. But back to the story. I have a really hard time trusting people for the most part, but she is the closest I've ever come to fully trusting someone. I always start of hating people when I meet them. Sometimes I later become friends with a few of these people, but for the most part, I don't. With Charlene it was different. The night I met we instantly became friends, and our friendship only became closer over time. We are very like minded. Starting sometime in mid-July, she began to change. She became more distant and less...herself. We used to talk for hours everyday, about anything and everything. Now we don't talk nearly as often and when we do, it isn't the same. Usually when I lose a friend, it doesn't bother me at all and I move on with my life, pretty much unaffected. But this time it is different. I've tried talking to her about it, but it seems like she doesn't care all that much. And I tried telling her so many times, I just can't again. I'm usually not the type of person to care this much and...yeah. I know most of you probably think that this is online bullshit and I should make friends in the real world. Well, I do have friends in the real world. I never even for once felt as close to them as I did with Charlene. And to me, this isn't bullshit. At all. Whatsoever.
Does anyone have any advice?

Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship?
Well, youve already tried talking to her about it, and it seems shes just not interested in keeping the friendship that you two have. Maybe things have gotten busier for her. Maybe shes just sick of you. My reccomendation would be to try talk to her again a couple times, just to see why she doesnt talk to you as much. Tell her you feel like your friendship is crumbling, and youd like to at least know why. If shes still uninterested then the only thing you can really do is move on. Rely on the friends you have with you for support, and make new friends in the process.
