Terrible advice

@freshmaple-47 its VERY personal to me im the only one shes straight up ignoring
niftyzenith-49

Have u tried asking around? Other than that id suggest just approaching her straight up

niftyzenith-49

If u come to her with the goal of resolving things and SHES unwilling, then its no longer ur problem. Leave it be

niftyzenith-49

If shes a real friend then shell be honest with u and u guys can probably just talk it out

freshmaple-47 OP

Still hurts to let a close friend go from seemingly nothing

niftyzenith-49

U have to pick ur battles then. Once again if shes unwilling to talk when u approach her sincerely, wanting to figure out whats wrong, theres not much u can do.

niftyzenith-49

U can try pleading, telling her things that u think might make her more comfortable talking to u

niftyzenith-49

But at that point its her line in the sand.

niftyzenith-49

I used to have a friend who stopped putting effort in. Who because impossible to talk to because she just wouldnt say anything. I tried and pleaded and carried the friendship for a long time. Needless to say were not friends anymore

niftyzenith-49

I hope that kind of thing doesnt happen to u. I hope u both can work it out. But talking to someone honestly the most basic part of friendship. If it matters that much, maybe try asking around and see if u can gather anything from her other friends.

mintjester-54

Can someone tell me how to make friends?

@mintjester-54 Can someone tell me how to make friends?
freshmaple-47 OP

@niftyzenith-49 I hope that kind of thing doesnt happen to u. I hope u both can work it out. But talking to someone…
freshmaple-47 OP

mintjester-54

Finding such person is impossible to me

sunnyjester-27

I did the same to a close friend after I heard her talking shit about me behind my back. I tried to act normal, but things just felt off, so I slowly distanced myself instead of confronting her because I knew she’d deny it. We later talked about it, she apologized, but I could never see her the same again. We’re still friends, just not as close anymore.
You might have hurt her indirectly or she just wants to distance herself w stuff going on in her life

@mintjester-54 Finding such person is impossible to me
amberyellow-59

Go outside

niftyzenith-49

Well until uve tried to resolve it and failed then u dont know for sure if that pain is gonna stick around

niftyzenith-49

And if it does then itll get easier over time. Other people, better friends will fill ur cup instead

niftyzenith-49

Also, if u try and try to fix things but she doesnt want to, then its not ur fault. U have no reason to feel guilty and at that point, it says more about her character than urs. Thats just the way she is. It has nothing to do with u.

niftyzenith-49

Worry about what u can do in this situation. Other than that, let it be. Itll fade on its own.
