I haven’t spoken to one of my friends in just about two weeks. The reason is because I’m really starting to question whether or not I still want to be friends with her, but the thing is, I’m starting to think I’m overreacting.
We have been friends for just about two years, now, and we are talking constantly. She’s one of my closest friends and if I had “best friends”, I would say that she’s one of them. We talk about anything and everything that there is to talk about and it’s great. Whenever she’s upset about something or needs to vent, I’m always there to listen and try my best to help with whatever is going on. I’ve told her and all of my other friends that if they ever need to get anything out, that I’m always there to listen because I like doing that. But, the problem, here, is that whenever I’m truly upset about something, she’s nowhere to be found. It’s like she goes out of her way to avoid me when something serious happens and I’m visibly upset about it. I usually don’t cry–not in public at least. But one morning, I came to school crying because of things that had happened at home and she didn’t say a word to me the many times that I saw her throughout the day. Not only that, but if I text her about something–like I did the other day–that’s truly upsetting me, she’ll pretend like she didn’t even see it. We were talking at around 4 in the morning, and I suddenly started panicking and poured my heart out about how I felt like I really was a terrible person and wasn’t good enough for anything. Then, she stopped responding. The next day, when I saw her, I still felt terrible about things in general, and she didn’t even mention a word about anything I had said or even ask if I was okay.
So, I just stopped talking to her. I didn’t send her anymore messages or anything, and she hasn’t tried to talk to me either. The first couple days that I didn’t speak to her, I started to wonder if she even cared at all because she didn’t even attempt to talk to me.
So, the question here, I suppose, is: Am I overreacting by not speaking to her? And is it wrong of me to question whether or not I still want to be friends with her, just because she never wants to acknowledge me when I’m upset about things? Also, what should I even do about this?
