There is this girl on my bus and nobody really talks to her or hangs out with her but noone thinks shes a freak. She used to be one of my really good friends but we just stopped hanging out. I feel bad because shes always lonley but i dont want her to think im one of her really good friends because i dont want to be and she keeps writing about the past and what not. So should i talk to her on the bus? just so she has someone to talk to or should i just not so she doesnt get the idea that i want to be her best Friend again?
if you wanna be nice though, maybe talk to her casually. like "hey whats up" and maybe just talk about her school day & casual things like that. also dont talk to her everytime you see her or anything like that. just occasionally so that your being nice & she doesnt get the idea that your best friends.

Maybe she's going through a rough time at home or maybe her head is just full of a lot of frustration right now and shes trying to win your friendship back.. try talking to her. Sure, you guys might argue and may not think of anything. But sometimes talking things out.. may solve the problem. Reason things out.. tell her what you may think will help on your guys situation and let her talk about.. what her issues may be also..

well i'd small talk with her. i'd be like "hey whats up?" and stuff and talk about the social studies quiz but not really close stuff like your crush.
talk to her in moderation. like every two days or something. if you all of a sudden start talking to her she might think you guys are best friends again.
or, if you don't want to risk anything at all, just smile at her but don't talk to her. that way, she'll know she can talk to you (small talk) without being too close.
bittyleigh answered Friday March 16 2007, 10:37 pm: so if there isn't anything wrong with her, then why don't you want to be her friend again? She might be going through something right now that she really needs someone to talk to and since you used to be friends she feels like you would be someone to confide in. But to answer your question, talking to her doesn't make her your new best buddy but it probably would help her to feel a little better. The next time you are on the bus, maybe stop to chat with her for a few minutes, or at school maybe you can introduce her to someone else that might actually want to be a good friend with her. She's probably a really great person, but not as outgoing as most, so to have someone notice she exists would probably help her self esteem to help her come out of this shell she is hiding in.
Good luck! [ bittyleigh's advice column | Ask bittyleigh A Question ]
