How can I get over a really good friend of mine?

I am currently friendless. I have absolutely 0 friends and to think that exactly one year ago I had dozens of friends. Me and my best friend went into this rant and he got mad at me–and never spoke to me again. I was a lot to handle–I’ll admit. I was constantly being mad at him for no apparent reason. After he stopped talking to me I tried to get over him and start all over but I just can’t. He was a really good friend of mine and ever since he stopped talking my whole world literally crushed and burned. I did a lot of apologizing to no avail. Few weeks ago, he wished me a happy birthday so my faith in our friendship went from 0 to 0.1 . Should I talk to him and make a fool out of myself once again, cause he’s doing pretty fine with his life. What should I do?

Losing friends is hard, especially when they're your closest, and whether or not you should move on or let go is always a tough decision. Maybe you should try gradually talking to him and see if he goes along with it. But don't push your efforts on him if he's not into it. A lot of old friendships can be saved; sometimes just taking a break apart helps. So I think taking the risk and talking to him would be worth it, whether it works or not, because it sounds like you two had a good friendship. :)

I honestly do believe you should move on and just be happy that you guys are on good terms now, because anytime a person has that much impact on your life then i think when you fight again the same exact thing will happen and you'll go through this again. I speak from experience, this happened to me and a so called "best friend" i had and he had such a huge impact on me but this year instead of me going to apologize to him, he's the one trying to reconnect , and i think he's tasting a little bit of what i went through, so in general these types of relationships are toxic and should be dealt with very superficially.
