Love help: I think my best friend is avoiding me. - Help.com

I think my best friend is avoiding me.

At the beginning of this past school year we were inseperable. We were always together. I think that was what started everything. Like the saying “The more you squeeze, the more it slips away.” After that we got into a few big arguments over nothing. Yes, we are still friends but it isn’;t the same. Now, I call her everyday and she always makes some excuse to get off. She says she’ll call me back but she never does. I sent loads of emails. I’m talking letter long emails just saying hi. I told her how I was feeling. She said that she felt bad for being a jerk like that but it didn’t change anything. SHe still acts the same way. She says she doesn’t try to avoid me but I know she is. It’s like I am no longer good enough for her. She only hangs out with this girl that I introduced her to two years ago. It hurts you know cause I still love her like a sister and she wants nothing to do with me. I don’t want to tell her cause she always takes everything the wrong way. I still want to be her friend but I want to be as close as we used to be. What should I do?

i think the best think 4 u 2 do is try (im not saying itll b easi), but try to forget abut her. find someone to hang out with as well. it might not be the same, but for now at least itll show her that u dont erally need her as much as she thinks you do.

you dont ALWAYS have to have a best friend. time will pass and you’ll go to new places, and aybe meet a new best friend there, but for now just tell yourself that u dont mind not having a best friend that much, and get out and meet new people.

I think you should relax some. If you think she’s avoiding you know, and you think she’s sick of you. Then you should try to lay off some, and not seem annoying by always trying to be with her, take it easy. Hang out with some other friends, call and talk to her once in a while, maybe she’ll miss you, and want to get close again. But in the mean time do this, and get some other friends to hang out with more.

hey..i think u shud juss start finding other things to do…n lyk sumone said…juss call her VERY rarely..actually i too am in the same situation..if she responds in the ‘old way’..its only bcuz she misses u..but if things are the same..juss limit ur calls even more and show tht u have better things to do…don’t ALWAYS take the first step…so take a chill-pill n look around … firends are usually passing friends..you may find tht ‘one n only’ best friend down the lane later..so juss take a break!! good luck!!

yeha, what most of the others said. just lay off a little bit, she mite be getting a little crowded and think ur a bit demanding. shewill prob want to be ur friend more if u back off a bit.
although she mite go in the other direction and move onto someone else cus she thinks ur too pushy. Try the first one before its too late and u lose her for good.
just let her kno u love her in subtle ways and not ALL the time, it always loses meaning if u say it too much. just every now and again is good.
good luck, hope u can get her back

That happened to me and mine just a year ago. we were in the same classes but one and she started making friends with this girl named Katrina. we were originally four but only two of us stayed together as really close friends until Katrina came. At first, I was furious because I thought she was trading me for someone else. But then I never confronted her about it. I guess I just let it go. I still say Hi ti her in the halls but after that, none. She became really close with Katrina so I never bothered anymore. I guess I’m a bad friend too. I’m not saying she’s bad or anything. My point is, if you really like her, talk to her. And if she still ignores you then, you just have to let go. Maybe you’ll meet someone cooler than her! :)

I think you should talk to her. I know what losing a real friend mean. I had a very best friend whom I really depend on. We used to hang out a lot and I had no other friend. But she is avoiding me now and I don’t really know why. I know that I am too good for her and I am quite sure I haven’t done anything that could make her upset or get offeneded. Anyways, I really am hurt for I don’t have any other friend who to talk to and be with. It really sucks you know. But I am going to call and talk to her what her real problem is and if she still is going to avoid me, then I guess I should let her go. After all, there is more than one fish in the sea so I should never concentrate just on her.
