Do I let things flow or do I try to hold on?


Question Posted Wednesday April 23 2008, 7:30 am

Okay, well lately me and my best friend have been drifting apart.

She's been upset with me about protesting something a distant relative believes in, and she didn't tell me until she was ready to basically disown me as a friend. If I would have known I would have honestly given up the thing I was protesting for her.

Anyway, because of how upset she is with me it's been hard to converse with her. I try, but she sort of kills it.

We're still friends, and we hung out yesterday and we were fine, but it's online which really hurts. And we speak online more than real life so it's getting bad.

And just then, heaps of people were asking me why this certain girl who we both hang out with got moved to her number 1 on MySpace. I know it's just a stupid ranking on a stupid site, but it's basically a social structure and it indicates she now finds she's closer to this other girl than me. She's also been hanging out with her more and telling her more.

Oh, did I mention I introduced them both? I did, and now I feel kinda crappy they've grown closer to each other and distant from me.

I honestly don't care how close they get, but the fact that they're closer than me is really getting me down. I've been feeling depressed about a number of reasons lately and I don't want friendship to be on the list as well.

Now the question is, do I just let things flow or try to be her number 1 again? I can't make friends easily, and I honestly believe her friendship was a miracle.

So I'm jaded, and I need to know an answer before I cry over something as pathetic as this.

If I do try and become close to her again, how the hell do I do it? It isn't about the protests anymore, it's about her not wanting to be close to me right now, over something I thought she was supporting me in.

first off im not sure if you apologized already but if you haven't then you should do that first. explain how you didn't know and that you didn't even care about the protest as much as you care about her. also keep hanging out with the other girl as well.
i don't think the friendship should end because it would be a really stupid reason to end it. i know i've had several driftings with certain friends but in the end we end up friends again. it just happens sometimes where theres a fight or a misunderstanding but think of all the good times. they are much more important than a protest and she will realize that too. oh and i know myspace top friends suck but dont let it get to you. pretty soon you will all be able to chill together and drink so frappuccinos together at some coffee place. yay! just go with the flow because depression is useless and accomplishes nothing.

hope you are feeling better and ready to kick some social status but! =]
