life help: has anyone had this problem with a close friend - Help.com

Why not share silence? My cousin and I would just get together and watch TV or go shopping and not speak for hours on end. I see no harm in this.

If you can communicate with he/she and try to find out if everything is okay. Sometimes silence can mean there’s a problem. Also discuss movies you have both seen or books you have both read.

ya i have. try to think of things that u normaly doont talk about you might find urself haveing a lot of more things to talk a bout

Ahh yep even friendships hit dry spots.
You’re both bored and there’s nothing to talk about and you’re both a tad bit frustrated.
Gossiping sometimes to actually have something to talk about and the conversation still ends up dying a tad.

Ehh seriously, I’ve been there but only for a short while.
Maybe stuff’ll happen which’ll make stuff for you both alot more interesting?

I know exactly what you mean.. It happened to me, and my friend and i have been buds for 8 years.
Just talk to her. see what she’s interested in now. or if your REALLY good friends.. Confront her about it.. and if shes been noticing it too then ask her if somethings bothering her.. Or if you did something to make her feel intimidated.. maybe thats why she’s not talking as much.. I know this is a little confusing. but if she’s your friend she shouldn’t get offended with you confronting her about it..
Hope this helps!! :)

done that, it was like a new topic for a conversation but it ends now. if there is a new movie, album, football match we talk about otherwise it’s silents.

if he was a girl we will brack up

if he was a girl we will break up but you dont meet a friend you know everything about and u call it off for no specific reason.

Probably the problem isn’t that you lost all threads to connection…
Maybe the problem is that your friend holds something against you, his silence is the way he treats you for it, maybe you have done something offending him/her, maybe you didn’t do something you were supposed to do……..
