Friend.


Question Posted Tuesday June 19 2007, 8:51 pm

I have this friend, well, actually, I would say more of "ex" friend. We were friends for about 5 years, and then, In the whole year of 2006, and the beginning of 2007, we became more like sisters. Seriously, we hung out every freaking day, we basically lived at each others houses, and I told her anything, and we were so alike.

We were fine, and then she accidentally told someone from another school a rumor about me, that she claimed that was true, and it wasn't, and since she told everyone, and she had never stabbed me in the back, I completely over reacted.

After about 3 weeks, we were fine. But I knew things wouldn't be the same -- and they weren't. She moved on to different people, and so did I. I would have to say, shes one of the most popular girls in the school, and definitively the prettiest. So believe me, being her best friend, was definitely a privilege.

After that, we were friends, but slowly, we just stopped talking. I knew why, but she just.. "changed" Her attitude, her friends, her personality, and everything.

I am bi-polar, and yesterday, I caught myself crying for no reason, which happens often. I kept trying to find out why, and I think I found out. I miss my best friend, I miss telling her everything. I never found another best friend, just friends. I miss her, I miss everything.

I want to talk to her, but I texted her asking if I could, and she said "only in person". I can't do that, I just can't. I am too shy to talk to her. I'd be too nervous, believe me.
What can I do? What do I say?

Sorry for this being so song. Any help is extremly appreciated. Thanks.


13/female.

okay, almost the same thing happened to me, except she didn't say anything about me, something tragic happened to her, and it affected me, and i wasn't there for here, and she went off making bad choices, it killed me, for a year i did stupid things over it, and now we kind of talk, i wish i had done something earlier, but i didn't. and i regret that everyday, i think you need to talk to her, whether it be in person, or over the phone, or internet, or whatever you need t do, i think you need to start hanging out again. invite her to stay at your house, spend the night eating a half gallon of ice cream and just talking about everything. i really think you can get through this.

I know you will be nervous, but talking in person in the best idea. It's more sincere and from the heart. Anyone can say something through a text, but talking about it in person will show that you do care.

Plan out what you want to say before you talk to her. It might sound corny, but it will calm your nerves. Maybe even print you question out and bring it alone to show how much you miss her. Either way, know what you're going to say before hand. When put on the spot it will be much more difficult.

All in all, if she's a good friend she'll listen and do her best not to make you more nervous than you are.

yup talking in person is definetly the best idea. i agree with her on that. well if you really want your friend back you should tell her how you feel. everything. what you jsut told us. tell her you miss her and that her friendship meant alott to you. tell her you havent found anyone that came as close as she did. jsut tell her EEVRYTHING tell her how you feel. if you really want your bestfriend back you should be whilling to amke that sacrifice. texting isnt good enough. in person its better. more emotions. if she misses the old times like you do then she will return. well she should, theres one reason why you liked her, and its becase she was always nice to you. so she should still be. i hope you can get your friend back.
