So a little background information, I 18F have had this best friend 18F for six years and very recently she has just used me out and stopped talking to me in general(for more information I wrote a whole bunch of posts about it on my profile, I don’t feel like typing all it out again) I reached out to her today to ask if I did something to her to make her feel like this and she responded “I want you to know that you have done NOTHING to offend me or hurt me in anyway. For whatever reasons, I agree that we’ve been growing apart and I feel like it began naturally this school year. I don’t want things to feel forced and I’ve realized now I’m having different interests, hobbies, classes and things going on in my life that don’t align with some of yours. I have felt like this for a few months now. I’m okay with where we’re at right now and keeping a more casual friendship” The thing is we are really not that different. I mean we take different classes(I take English 11 while she takes AP Language, I take AP US History while she takes AP African American History different sciences etc) and we have different hobbies and interests for sure, like she plays flag football while I do Model UN but really we are still the same as last year even if she has a few more interests now I really tried to try the new things she was interested in but nothing was ever enough for her. I was always not enough. I mean when I texted her the goal was to get everything out in the open so we could fix it and repair our relationship and she just shut that down entirely. While I know it says “casual friends” in the text, we are basically just acquaintances, she never talks to me unless it is in a group setting, ignored every time I try to start conversation, and generally just pretends I’m not there (I’ve explained this more in the posts I mentioned earlier). At this point we are just generally friends I mean I get people grow apart but I didn’t expect someone to just fully not want to be my friend anymore. I’m hurt and I just want to know if this is normal at all and any advice anyone has on how to deal with this. Im so sad that I just lost my best friend and I genuinely don’t know what to do. submitted by /u/PaintingWithTheGnome
