Friend breakups

[asadfriend]

I posted another thread recently about the situation I'm in with my old 'best' friend. I'm currently at a place where right now, I need space from her due to hurt and feeling very let down but I doubt she'll even notice to be honest. And so with that, we're likely to no longer be friends.

I'm very hurt and sad, because I haven't changed, and she is the one who is being distant and not bothered. I'm hurting but she is off as normal, having a good time.

I've also been reflecting and realise i'm quite dependant on having friends, and she was the closest I had, and so its bringing out all sorts of feelings of not being good enough and utter loneliness.

Can anybody share any stories where you may have drifted apart from a very close friend whether the outcome was good or bad? It helps to know its a normal progression.

Hi of course your having mixed emotions I had a best friend for 28 years we was in nappies together but life takes us in different directions whether it's staying single / started a relationship/ jobs. It does hurt and can be frustrating but you will be fine I was and we was like sisters good luck

People evolve at different rates and sometimes old friends become misaligned along the way. Many drift, and it’s best to accept that and see the positives, rather than hold out hope for a return to your preferred norm.
