Friendship breakup??

smiley2102 April 13th, 2023

What do you do when your friend stops talking to you abruptly and doesn't even mention why. And it's not the first time they have done it. I am so tired of saving our friendship everytime

@smiley2102 sorry to hear you’re experiencing issues in your friendship. Did they stop talking to you totally or are they just not as communicative as usual? Have you reached out to them and asked why?

@smiley2102 I see. It sounds like you feel kind of abandoned by them. That’s painful and not easy. I have a friend who’s going through a lot right now and seems like they don’t want to talk to me. I’m trying to give my friend space. That space leaves an uncomfortable void for me. I hope things work out with your friend.

@smiley2102. Hey there I know it may be hard to hear and I understand you but maybe now it's time to let go of the friendship. Friendships should not make us feel tired or drained so I am sorry but now its time to let go.

I too think the same. I'm trying to let go of her.

Hi, something similar happened to me. My friends are a couple and I was friends with both of them for almost 7 years. In January they started distancing themselves and th contact reduced completely. We used to hang out almost daily. The girl never even contacts me and now I feel that she used me as when I think about it she always used to ask for something when she contacted me. The guy kept in touch but very briefly the messages are two to three words only. I have no idea why and when I asked the guy he said it is not me but it just feels like this is being directed towards me. They know I suffer from depression and completely ignore me. I did so much for them but now this friendship has caused me to spiral downwards and I am back in therapy. So I understand your situation and how stressful it can be. I am trying to find a way to be stronger by just being alone.

Sad to hear this. Hope you are doing good now. I can understand you. People just don't understand ghosting is a bad thing. Hope you find strength. things gonna be okay for both of us hopefully ☺️

Many thanks. I wish you well too. You are right that ghosting is not a good thing especially when friends know you struggle with loneliness. Hopefully with time, can be able to overcome the disappointment and be more prepared for such situations.

@smiley2102 There are 2 things I would do in this kind of situation 1.) How about try asking the people around her, maybe you could get some kind of clue. 2.) Try to remember your time with her before, maybe you could find out why she's angry with you.

It depends how long it's been, for me anyway. I wait a week before deleting anything.

@smiley2102


I can feel you. I am going through same situation. I dont understand why its so hard for people to tell the truth.

It hurts deeply and took away ability to trust others.

She is the second person who did this to me. Now I am just scared to make friends now :(

Honestly? Since I've had this happen to me a couple of times, I delete their contact info and block them.


You can try talking to them too to see what's up, but ultimately it's not worth the heartache.

Worst path is we live in Hostel together and it's so worst being together but having to avoid her and getting avoided by her

Oh boy...dang I didn't know it was like that...

I guess since she's already avoiding, it might be best to just be polite if she talks to you but don't reach out any further than that. Treat her like you would a stranger pretty much...


Something similar sorta happened to me...but not to that extent of living with someone.


I was dating my brother's best friend, and he ghosted me for a couple of weeks...told him I don't want to talk to him anymore, but he didn't even read my text and continued talking to me...

I ended up blocking him and avoiding him, even though he's my brother's best friend and ends up in the same places because of it...


I tried having a friendship with him because he supposedly "missed" me, but used me for my money tbh so(ex. Paid for his rent, paid for his food all the time, free rides, and even helped pay for a week's worth at a hotel/motel or whatever so he wouldn't be homeless, and yet he ghosted me)...


I just largely ignore him and even if I see him in person, I'm not going to go out of my way to talk to him anymore. There's no point. I'll let it be awkward for him, because I know who MY true friends are, and he's not one. I don't want to be that "convenient" friend when he needs something.

I’m experiencing that and I feel the best advice anyone can give you is you need to consider letting them go. For some people that’s peace.
