Losing my best friend of 6 years, what do i do ?!?!?

Question

I am losing my best frined of 6 years. We have grown apart ever since we went into middle school. We have completly different friends, completly different lives, and were 2 completly different people. I know that there's nothing else we can do, we have both tried to make an effort and hang out more, but nothings the same. & so we were talking and decided that it's done. & were not enimes, and that we could still talk once in awhile. But I really don't want it to be over, although I know it is. Please help me and give me advice on what to do. And don't just say talk to her and hang out more, that's not gunnah help. Thanks

Answer 1

even though you arent best friends anymore, you can still be friendly with each other. it shouldnt be that hard since you said you arent enemies. like you said, there is nothing you can do about your friendship. That's life and thats just what happens sometimes. I know it is hard cuz the other day i almost lost my best friend of 9 years. We worked through it tho, even tho she is still a little rocky on this. Try to be strong, and hang out with your new friends. Tell them your problem and ask for their advice/help on what to do. Your friends often give you good advice because they know you really well. Good luck!

Answer 2

Why does it have to be OVER? You make it sound like when you break up with a boyfriend or something. Don't see it all as doom and gloom. My best friend and I had a falling out and went separate ways in like 1998 when we were in our LATE 20's. We'd been friends since we were 13. I was devastated when we stopped being friends. At least with your friend, you and she can still be friends. It's just time to move on to a new phase in your life. It won't be the end of the world. You or she may even find that once you've been out in the world of other friends, etc. that you miss some of your
old things you had in common, etc. Just look at it as a positive thing. Don't you think you'll meet any other friends? Who is your friend that you seem to see her as the last friend you'll ever have? Cheer up and look towards the sunny side of things. Feel better.

Answer 3

Sometimes friendships are like seasons. They come and go. And although it hurts, we to have to move on. People do change as they grow up and the differences between you and your friend are obviously too great. I'm sorry that you are feeling this loss and its hard to just let go. But that is what you must do. Think about the fun you had together and not the loss. What you had was a wonderful friendship but its time to let go. I hope that in time you can accept this and find a greater friendship with someone else in the future. Good luck..

Answer 4

Being best friends is sort of like an agreement that eventually your friendship will fade. friends is a strong word to use and people usually think they have 20 friends. but in life we really only will have at least 6 or 7 true, true, friends. those are your best friends. you can't stop your friendship fading but it lasted a long time so, you probably have found one true friend already even if it didn't last as long as you had hoped. it's time to move on, look for the next true friend but make friend friend's too........everything happens for a reason. so maybe you are better off this way.

Answer 5

Think about what you guys both enjoyed sharing and doing when you were close. Maybe you guys can set aside some time regularly and do those things. Also, try sharing your different experiences with one another.

Answer 6

People drift apart.
People change.
No one really stays together forever, unless they are in love.
Let her/him go. Do you really want to stay together, only to fight and despise each other?

Just be glad it's a clean, easy break and you aren't enemies.

Answer 7

People change, we all do. Give her time.
