8 Comments

My best friend is not speaking to me anymore, I tried calling, texting, I even apologised (but I don’t know what I’m apologising for). They have always be overly sensitive, like for example he stopped speaking to me because he thought I was mad at him, for a good week But now it’s seems final this time Cz we haven’t spoken for a month, this is the longest we have gone without talking and it’s really affecting me, how do I cope

    Breaking up with a best friend can oftentimes be more painful than breaking up with a romantic partner.

      Unless your romantic partner was also your best friend

        Well, it's also not uncommon for it to be both.

    I'm sorry you're going through this. Best friend breakups really suck.

    If you don't even know what you're apologizing for and he's being flaky on you for no reason, it is very likely an issue with him and not you, and it may even be best that you aren't friends anymore, as hard as that may be to swallow and as much as you may not want to hear that.

    Anyway, the only thing that has really helped me is time and spending time with other people. You'll definitely need time to process your feelings and grieve the friendship, and spending time with other friends or family, or even trying to make some new friends might help a bit.

      We also work together, so it is quite hard I have tried to speak but no response, should I just ignore him too, would that help the situation? (Only work with him once every two weeks but is still hard)

        If you aren't getting a response, that would probably be best. It would help you move on from the loss of the friendship as well.

    I agree with bbrown that spending time with other people and making effort to make new friends is the way through this. There will be no direct replacement for the lost friendship but other people will fill the loneliness void.

    Similar to a romantic break up focus on your hobbies and interests and don’t stalk his social media, whatever you see there is only going to mess with your head. You will get through this.
