How do I become friends again with an ex-friend?


Question Posted Tuesday March 23 2010, 10:39 pm

All through high school I had this friend. We had a lot of classes together. I was pretty much her only friend but we were close! We even sat beside each other on graduation day. I went to her graduation party afterward. I totally knew all of her secrets and I thought we would be friends forever! When we graduated we ended up going to the same community college but didn't share any classes together and, so, rarely saw each other. We stopped talking after awhile and drifted off on our own paths. Well, the other day I was at work (cashiering) and she came through my line! I was so excited and tried to make conversation with her but she would not say a single word to me! I don't know what to think about it now.

I really want to be friends with her again though. I miss our old funny times we shared. She was a good person and a good friend but I don't know why she has no interest in talking to me now. Should I persue a friendship with her and message her on MySpace (I found her's recently)?

Well.. ya know.. some people just fall out. There's nothing you can do about it.. I know you miss her.. but people grow up and they change. and sometimes it's not for the best.

In life, people are like Trees.
-Some are like leaves, they come and go
-Some are like branches, they stay for a while but eventually they break off
-And others are your roots.. there forever.. no matter the time they come into your life..

I think you should try and persue her.. BUT only because if you don't.. you'll always wonder what if.

When people graduate high school the truth is most people do go their separate ways, Many people change and our lives become bigger with responsibility. It could be that a lot of time has passed by and your friend just doesn't know what to say. Therefore, It lead to complete silence. I wouldn't get your hopes up but it certainly doesn't hurt to try to talk to someone especially a child hood friend. However, Keep in mind that things could of changed since the last time you two had talked. You both graduated and grew up, If you decide to approach her I would stick with small talk for awhile. Don't jump the gun and rush the friendship and certainly don't get your hopes up too high
