“Hey hope your party went well. It sort of feels like things between us have become quite weird...? Got the impression you’d been ignoring me/my messages for a few weeks & think the last time we met as a two was in like February which is a bit strange when we live in the same city. Seems to be me you are reluctant to see/message rather than other friends, so I’m wondering whether there is a reason for this?”

She has massively cooled with me but will still see mutual friends. I feel like she owes me an answer though! I’m quite a steady dependable person whereas she has form for being a flighty drama queen. This was a long standing decade old friendship though and whilst I don’t like how she’s behaving I sure as hell don’t deserve to be treated like this. She broke a theee week silence to invite me to a social event (which I politely declined as I got the feeling it was one of those she couldn’t Lot invite me to, for keeping face/mutual friends purposes... She is sugary sweet to me in front of them but has turned towards me). Any advice?

OP, just re-read your original post. It seems a bit crazy that she's supposedly your best friend but you describe her in such negative terms. Maybe she picked up on the fact that you see her as 'a flighty drama queen' and that your main concern is ' I sure as hell don’t deserve to be treated like this'. With friends like you, who needs enemies? Why be so quick to be so obnoxious about someone who is supposedly such a good friend? You may only be talking to strangers on the internet but if I started thinking along those lines about a friend I'd feel pretty ashamed. She's human, so are we all, and our flaws and differences is part of the rich tapestry of life. Don't be so petulant, just accept that she's withdrawing a bit right now and just keep the door open and if your friendship survives, it survives.
