It seems as though my best friend is replacing me with someone else. We used to do so much together and have so many great memories and great laughs. Now, it seems like shes doing it all over again, but with a different girl. They went on a trip together and talk about it nonstop..now they are so close. It's like I'm not even there and shes starting over with someone new. It's depressing to see them together, like me and her used to be. We had a big fight not to long ago, but we made up..or so I thought. Tonight we went to a party and it was a blast, but it was like she was ignoring me. She was only hanging out with her new "best friend". I really don't understand what I should do. I miss her, but when we were having that fight, it was like I was the only one trying to keep it together. Why can't we all just be friends? Should I talk to her about it? Or should I just let her and the other girl be friends and get out of the way, then just loose the friendship we had?
Thank you so so much if you can help.

When something BIG goes down, be there for her. Remind her of how things were... She'll realize it was somethng eventually. [ barbieblissx's advice column | Ask barbieblissx A Question ]

It's really hard to go through that and you may start convincing yourself that you'll never have a friend as good as her, but that's not true. You'll have someone similiar to that best friend except better because they won't change into someone different if they are a true best friend.
I doubt that your friend is doing this on accident. If she's been ignoring you, then I'd say that she's clearly avoiding you. Which is really rude, but you can definetly find someone else just as good as she was except better.
So my advice to you is to get out there with different people and leave this old friendship like she has. If she wants to pick it back up, then let her be the one to come to you. Besides, she is the one who left this friendship first.

The most you can do is talk to her and tell her what you think about it. If she listens, that's good. However, if she doesn't, you just have to accept it and move on.
