i miss my old bestfriend but..?


Question Posted Friday May 14 2010, 4:22 am

we became best friends last year but we don't talk at ALL anymore. We both had a same interest and we would always have a blast talking to each other, but sadly, things change and other people got in the way of our friendship and we have zero communication,and its very AWKWARD between us and i don't know why but i don't wanna fix it, since she got her friends and i got my friends.
But the question is i don't know why i don't want to fix our friendship even though i think its sad, i would like to reconnect but its awkward what should i do?

If you see her at school you should try approaching her and tell her that you miss having a friendship. See what happens and if she looks interested in possibly working things out or including you. Tell her you want to reconnect.

Unless you are leaving key details out here nothing hostile happened. She found new friends as did you and perhaps got sucked up into that and moving on without thinking about you. That happens in life and seems to have happened with you too and new pals.

Obviously, there was something there that you want to reconnect over or enjoyed with her. If speaking to her face-to-face isn't easy try putting a note in her locker or e-mail her about it. The ball will always be in her court but I think she will include you if your friendship is worth saving. To these eyes, it's worth a shot.

You're right it is sad but it is the way we humans are. There is nothing wrong with not wanting to fix it. You've moved on and you are ok with it . The confusion is because you think you "should" want to cause that's what you hear is the right thing to do. It's not! Trust your self. You've seemed to find peace in it! There are no "should" in life.

There is nothing wrong with being kind to her when you see her. You can have memories and laugh without reconnecting as a BEST FRIEND...you don't owe her anything but kindness and respect!
Give her a hug when you see her, smile, let HER know you are totally cool with the way things are now!!

well personally i have had the same experince, i had a best friend who i used to be really close to and have such a laugh, but now we dont talk at all. I would say really just start communication via. msn and start from there talk about old times and get talking like you used to.
gradually mabye give her a text asking if she's doing anything and if she would like to come out and hopefully you and your friend will reconnect and you will become friends again.
hope this helped xxx
