Try to keep in touch without putting any kind of pressure on her. If you were that close before, maybe you can be again.
I've never understood this business of having to choose one friend over another. Why not just enjoy the friendship of both, or many? It's not the same as a romantic or sexual relationship where it's considered wrong to be involved with more than one person. For me, putting a friend in a position where she feels she has to choose one or the other is a big mistake. (I realize that it wasn't necessarily you who insisted on the choice... I've been there, too. That's why I'm ranting, I suppose.) Friends are not possessions!
Good luck!

Look around you - school or church or wherever. Pay attention and observe. You know somebody right now that is real compatible with you...you share a lot of the same interests and ideas and beliefs. When you've devoted so much of your time and self to ONE other person who was like a sister to you, you've had blinders on and haven't been able to really see what's around you. It's not going to be a real quick thing and you will have to make a conscious effort to do other things with other people. Then later, as the wound heals some, you may find yourself a friend to your ex-best friend and her friend...seems far fetched and impossible, but it's not. But for now, concentrate on YOU and let YOU be YOUR OWN BEST FRIEND and be a best friend to someone else who would love to have you for one. Good luck! You'll see that I'm right. But more than half of succeeding at this is that you have to keep a positive attitude and let go of concentrating on the past. Look ahead...always...

I know you care alot for you friend, but at the same time think about how you can do other things to suppress your feelings. You never know one of those things could be to find someone that is also a good friend to you. I'm not saying replace her, just make it so you have other options. There is nothing wrong with having more than one true friend. It is honestly a good thing. You can depend on other people. They in turn can depend on you.

First of all, don't let that first person who answered your question bother you. He is an idiot! As far as getting your friend out of your head, Don't! Learn from it and use it to form new relationships with new friends. This friend who chose another over you was not a real friend in the first place. If you were meant to be friends forever she would still be your friend. She isn't worth the time you are waisting on her. Move on to a better class of friends.

To me it is one of lifes mysteries.This happens to a lot of people.I had a friend and can't even find her.They are not replaceable,not really.Just hold the good times in your heart and remember that friends do lose touch,and if you were meant to be friends forever,then it would be.I know it hurts,maybe the bond never should have been?Anyway,read something inspiring,that helps me.

Happens to someone every day. Happens to everyone some day. People change. Times change. New replaces old. You lost a old friend and kindred connection, just like she did. All you need do now is find a new friend and kindred connection, like she did.. Besides, you probably haven't entirely "lost" her. Typically, girlfriends like this only "disappear temporarily", then return "apologizing profusely".

It happens to everyone, just don't get hung up on it. Sometimes, people just need some space from their friends. I'll bet you'll be hanging out again real soon......but if not, it just opens up your time for a new friend. It really sucks, but part of life nonetheless.

That is horrible. But it happens to everyone at some point in our life. So what you have to do is be proud of who you are, and make the best of yourself and try to find something better to do. Don't let it hold you down.

i do not favor to sound argumentative yet there are "undesirable" intense colleges. intense colleges that care extra about the athletics extremely than the learning. you would possibly want to bypass to a extra perfect intense college. Many intense college friends will bypass their separate procedures and many extra will locate different friends to loaf round with. that's extra perfect contained in the destiny to be on the added perfect college.
