"best friends"??


Question Posted Saturday February 4 2006, 3:54 pm

I'm not quite sure what to do. My "best friend" from last year is changing. We used to tell eachother EVERYTHING!! But this year she cheated on her boyfriend, broke up with him, and went back out with him and didn't even tell me. I had to find out from someone else. And she doesn't know about the guy I REALLY REALLY like. Its because she doens't take the time to find out. Every weekend I invite her to the mall, and EVERY time she says she busy and then calls me telling me how bored she is.. Also when ever I hang out with ehr myy grades drop. I dont know if I should stay "best friends" with her or not? Please help

As you get older, you have to realize that things between best friends change. I've had that happen to me before. I am a kind of punk-alternative girl and it was really hard for me to accept it when my best friend decided she wanted to be a preppy blonde cheerleader.

My advice to you is to ignore your friend for a while. Take a break from asking her to go places and don't answer the phone when she calls. After maybe a week, maybe she will come back to you and want to tell you everything. Sometimes time apart form each other can make your realtionship grow stronger.

In the meant-time, try making some new friends who won't bail on you all the time. There's plenty of people out there!

I know how you feel bcause the same thing happened to my friend. You need to tell your friend how you have noticed that she is changing. If she doesn't respond to this then maybe you should hang out with some of your other friends and not concentrate on her so much. Chances are, she will notice that you guys aren't friends anymore, and she will realize that it was her felt and she will feel bad. That will be a good oppurtunity to speak with her about everything.
Good Luck! Hope this helps!

Ask her if she even wants this friendship, shes effecting you in a bad way. It seems that she doesn't wlike to hang out with you. Talk to her, it seems to me you guys shouldn't b friends. A best friend is someone who you tell everything to, hang out with, listen to each other. I think its best for both of you to end your friendship

As the road of life moves along ( haha wow I should be shot for saying that) people change.

You and your best friend are most likely developing different likes and dislikes. This may cause you both to feel awkward and uncomfortable around each other, and could also make you not want to tell each other everything like in the past.

Try making new friends. Not to replace you old friend, but to hang out with when your friend says she "is busy." When she sees you with new people odds are she will realize that she misses you and want to be friends again. And if she doesn't and continues to treat you unfairly, then you aren't "best friends" and probably never were.

Hope this Helps,
Katie

From the sounds of it, she's negativly affecting your life a lot. Maybe being "best friends" isn't the best thing to do. If you like her a lot as a friend, then keep her, but don't be 'best friends' anymore, just sometimes hang out with her.
