is it normal that I am much happier without my bestfriend ? he was a huge part of my life, I felt like I couldn't live without him but now I feel like I can be happy, I can be myself and I am confident , is that normal?
I'm exactly like cash4gold. Exactly. It's ok, you're allowed to be happy, it's a feeling not an accusation. Try to remember that you can pick your friends, choose wisely. :)
Yeah, I changed so much when I lost my best friend. At first it sucked, but I really think it helped me out in the long run. I feel so much more confident now. I think I relied on her too much and didn't give myself enough credit or something. Plus I realized that she caused a lot of unneeded drama in my life. It was refreshing to have a break from that. Maybe one day we'll be friends again, but for now I'm content with the way things are.
It is normal to feel that way, BUT...it depends on how your relationship with this person was. This isn't something you can just say yes or no to. Friendship involves feelings and if the two of you aren't on the same page with them, one might be happier without the other. My best friend and I grew apart. At least I think so, I was never told why I was not considered his friend anymore. I read some comments on his myspace page that I think were about me, and in my eyes, I have never wronged him. In fact I tried to make his life better and even financially supported him when he didn't have a job. But according to him, he saw things much differently. So in the end we both could be happier IDK. I do know we had a blast together and those are the times when I was very happy with him.
OMG the same thing happened to me I lost my guy best friend just a few months ago when he got this new controlling gf I was upset at first bc He was such a huge part of my life, but then I realized that if he was gonna start being an asshole to me because of his girlfriend then he reaally wasnt my friend. He use to listen to me and try to help me with my Eating disorder I have because Im in the recovery process.He use to stop me when he saw me goin to the bathroom and make sure I was ok now he doesnt care he looks me dead and the eye and doesnt do anything. Idk but I'm much better without him.
I think it's completely normal. The same thing happened to me recently. I finally feel like I'm beginning to get over him and be myself again. I thought I couldn't live without him in my life, but now I've realized that I'm surrounded by better friends who are worth my time and aren't assholes.
