Is it normal that i'm slowly hating my bestfriend?

So, I've known my bestfriend for about 6 years. I see her almost everyday and lately when she talks to me I always think "I don't care." I never feel like calling her anymore, (I'd rather text her) and sometimes her presence just annoys me too. Not to sound harsh or anything but it's just certain things she does that bother me or what she says. I don't know if I just need space from her, or whatever.. is it normal?

    Agreed with VioletTrees. Sometimes people change and sometimes you find out that the person that you thought that they were was merely an ideal in your head and the more you get to know them, the more that they seem to contradict who you thought they were.

    Not all relationships are forever.

    People drift apart sometimes.

    Maybe you've been spending too much time together lately? It's normal that you feel that way, if you keep hanging out with the same people, you lose things to talk about.

    I've been through exactly the same thing two years ago. We knew each other for seven years and had become so close that we shared every hobby, every friend and so on. But 2010 was a really hard year for me and her life changed pretty much as well, so we drifted apart. I discovered that she couldn't be there for me the way I needed her to be, because we were developping in opposite directions. I couldn't stand being around her anymore, I stopped telling her things about my life, we had stupid arguments over nothing - you know it. When I noticed that I really hated that girl, I decided to "end" our already so fragile friendship, because this feeling tore me apart. I talked to her and tried to explain things... she cried and I guess it's been really difficult for her, but I'm sure I did the right thing. Now I can feel compassion for her and that is so much better than hatred.
    I sometimes miss our old friendship and I really think it's sad that things turned out this way. But when I see her today, I don't like her. Both of us are different now.
    Maybe that's what's happening with the two of you as well. Just don't hold on to something that hurts you or makes you feel bad feelings, such as hatred, envy, anger, etc.. I hope this helps you a bit... you should know that reading your post helped me. I'm still not entirely over this whole situation and it's good to know that I'm not the only one who feels this way. I wish you all the best!

    OMGOMG YES!

    In fact, I'm finding this with the friend I see most often.

    I even created a poll asking what would be a good reason to end a friendship.

    That is completely normal! I drifted away from my best friend as well. After awhile we tend to see the differences in one another and either conform to their ways or breakaway to conjure up our own ideals. It's OK to continue to evolve with or without your friend by your side, but evolving no less is key to knowing what you will or won't accept in your life!

    I had that, suddenly you just find that the way she does things bothers you... but then she was a sneaky bitch who always argued with me for no reason, ignored me and told me that my family didn't love me! If you don't like her anymore then just tell her to send you a postcard from hell when she gets there and find a friend who appreciates you! x
