Lately, I've been feeling a bit sad lately. Several months ago I got in a fight with my best friend. And we haven't spoken to each other since. And lately I've been really hurt and missing her. I get bothered when I see her chatting with other people on Facebook because it just seems as if she doesn't care at all about losing me as a friend. I have thought about blocking her so that I don't have to see any of her post but then that also closes the door at possibly becoming friends again.
I have tried reaching out in my own way. So I just don't know what I am supposed to do. I know that reaching out more might help but it also allows for more rejection which would make me more depressed about losing her. So now what?

Without knowing any of the situation it's hard to give advice...but if you feel this strongly about it, just may be best if you reached out. Worst case? You still lose the friendship. You're already there. Best case, you mend fences, which is what you want. It doesn't seem like you have too much to lose. :) Best of luck and big hugs!
ReplyDeleteBest friends are hard to come by. I would try reaching out to her. Even if it didn't work you would know that you tried instead of always wondering "what if".
ReplyDeleteI think it's hard to tell how people really feel from reading their FB interactions. That said, I did hide a friend's posts for a while so I didn't have to see them while I got past my own hurt feelings. Then I could unhide them when I was ready to reach out again. I hope you are able to talk to her again at some point, because at this point you have little to lose and a lot to gain. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI would try to reach out again. I know it could hurt if she rejects you, but maybe she's ready to be close again, too? and then you could know.
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
Maybe you could call her and ask her for coffee at a neutral location. Try to work out you're disagreement or at least agree to disagree and then move on from there? Sorry you're feeling so our of sorts missing your friend.
