AIBU to be so upset

That a friend is ignoring me. Totally blanking all of my efforts to contact her. Not done anything as far as I'm aware but have begged her to tell me what I've done and have apologised for inadvertently upsetting her and asked if we could talk. But no nothing.
It's making me feel so very sad.

Something must have precipitated it, what happened in the run up to this? What was your last conversation about?

HallowedMimic · 21/06/2016 21:37

Do you not think you are being a bit 'me, me, me'?

Perhaps your friend is having a hard time and it has nothing to do with you.

Maybe stop badgering her with your pity party, and ask how she is?

I'd say take the hint and leave it now. Wait for her to contact you.
Sorry by the way, it must be very upsetting.

Hallowed could be right, why do you assume it's tp di with you and not just that she's got a lot on?

How long a time period are we talking?!

Whatthefreakinwhatnow · 21/06/2016 21:40

to do, even! sodding phone!

MarcelineTheVampire · 21/06/2016 21:42

Are you sure she's getting your messages?!

That's quite full on. It may well be that something was going on - anything, really - and now there's a huge amount of pressure to respond. It could be that she'd just forgotten to reply (not great, but not rare either, everyone has frantic weeks), or that something personal happened, or something happened at work, or she was anxious, or she just needed some alone time... and now it's something huge, she needs to explain herself, she can't just pick up where she left off.

Or it could be that you have upset her, or annoyed her, somehow - and whilst it may have died down, it won't now that it's huge.

Last option I suppose is that you've done something that has completely offended her and she never intended to talk to you again, but it's highly unlikely that you would be able to do that without having any idea what you'd done, so this is by far the least likely option.

Your only option is to leave it, really, and wait. She will, hopefully, contact you once things are calmed.

Something might have gone wrong in her life?

Shakey15000 · 21/06/2016 21:58

On the chance that something may have happened in her life, I would leave it as is. For whatever reason, she is not engaging with you at the moment.

As upsetting as it may be, you'll have to respect that. Pleading etc only makes you seem "needy".

blueskyinmarch · 21/06/2016 22:00

When was the last time you spoke to her?

couldntlovethebearmore · 21/06/2016 22:02

A couple of weeks ago

CaptainCrunch · 21/06/2016 22:36

Have you name changed in the middle of the thread op?

couldntlovethebearmore · 21/06/2016 23:04

Yes because of the stupid assigned username/number
