Im 19 and female and my best friend hasn't been talking to me that much this week. We used to talk all the time. Now ever since I've been busy with school and work she's been hanging out with this other friend but theyre not best friends like me and her. I've never ever slept over at her house because theres been problems with her parents and me but that's changed now. Anyway this girl just slept over at her house and they hung out at the mall. And now theyre hanging out again today. I'm kind of mad because she hasn't really talked to me and she's acting distant. And she's always hanging out and talking to this other girl. Is this normal? I just am not used to this at all. This is fridays and we always hangout on fridays. I feel like she doesn't really like me as a best friend anymore...what do you think? And now that she's with that friend and she's ignoring me.

WingYan answered Friday January 28 2011, 5:41 pm: It sounds as if she's a little miffed that you havent been around lately which is understandable. A bit of punishment by keeping her distance from you. You just have to find the balance between your responsibilities (ie school and work) and making time for the people important in your life.
It's understandable that she'll be hanging around with another friend as a result but dont feel threatened if she spends time with her other friends. If you are as important to her as she is you then you should know that you're not replaceable to her.
She's your best friend, talk to her. We all make mistakes with our friends but who else can you talk to if not your bestie? Listen to what eachother has to say and both make more effort to keep this friendship going strong. Things in life can start to strain any relationship. Its how you handle them that matters. It sounds as if you both just need a little reassurance as to how important to eachother you really are. [ WingYan's advice column | Ask WingYan A Question ]
