Stopped liking my best friend
Basically weve been best mates for about 6 years now. Both 18 currently. But recently Ive just kinda.... stopped liking him.
It's really weird. We go to different colleges so it's hard to find time to meet up but he's always really eager to do so. He always want to do stuff and hes always been a great friend. But i just dont wanna hang out anymore. I feel awful. Like a bad person. i dont understand why! He's done nothing wrong!! I haven't told him anything.
I remember it starting last year when we took a holiday to France together. Both being 17 and not speaking much French, it was a understandably stressful. He was very annoying and fed up at times, so was I. But we had a really good time. I find myself avoiding him lately. Always trying to not read his messages on facebook. What's really weird is that he's making many many new friends at his college, whereas I'm losing friends.
I don't speak to anyone but him, apart from a few kinda "aquaitences". For some reason I long to meet up with older friends, back when our freindship circle was large and strong. I get excited at the thought of going surfing with older friends (who I NEVER see nowadays). Any of my other friends. In fact anyone.... but him.
What's wrong with me?! can anyone help?!?! Thanks
Hi @willingPeach3169
Thank you for sharing your struggle. Seems like you've been in an unpleasant situation and I'm sorry to hear that.
You mentioned that it was starting when you two had a holiday in France. Perhaps, the stressful things that happened during the holiday somehow gave hurtful feelings to you?
The question is: what would you like to do? Do you want to maintain your friendship with him or are you ready to let it go? And if you think that meeting up and reconnect with some older friends will make you feel better, how about start to try to do that?
I hope you'll find answers to your questions, feel better and everything goes well.
