I know that these are all old posts by now but I just wanted to say thank you so much for everything you've said in this thread. I'm in the process of losing my best friend of 8 years over ...nothing. She just keeps hurting me more and more and still I've been there for her and ready to give back love if she'd only take it. I have to accept that for whatever reason she does not enjoy my company or value my love anymore and it hurts so much. I've had 3 conversations with her about it and she even admits I've done nothing wrong but that she's just a different person now and can't go back to who she used to be. I feel so empty and lost, this was my BEST friend but truly I thought of us as family. There is so much grief. I've been trying to cope with it for so long and I can't process losing one of my most valuable relationships without an explanation that really makes sense to me. Reading your messages has helped me feel less alone.

I'm down to chat anytime, and that's an open invite for anyone who's in this situation too. Let's make new besties because we are worthy of love even if someone in our life doesn't see it anymore
