Being replaced

I’m starting to feel like I’m being replaced and that my best friend doesn’t value me as much as I value her. I sound clingy and desperate, but after going through toxic relationship tha she helped me through, she’s the only reason I keep going every morning. I can’t afford to lose her and I’m not sure how I can make this better. She gives me advice on my own issues but never shared her own problems. When she has problems, I’m the last to know and after confessing to her, I was rejected and found out she liked our other friend. She swears ant of our feelings won’t affect our relationship but I think it is and don’t know what to do

Feeling replaced in a friendship, especially with a best friend can be hard to come to terms with Kookie. She seems like a great friend to have helped you through a hard relationship like that. It makes sense that you feel as though she's the only thing keeping you going each day. I don't think you are sounding desperate and clingy. We all deserve people in our lives who will be there for us. If you're feeling as though their feelings may cause a rift in your relationship, I think it would be good to reach out to them and let them know how you're truly feeling. Talking it out will help to get a better understanding of your feelings and how to move forward
