My best friend and I got into a huge fight. We talked a little then decided not to talk. The next day I tried to reach out and talk to her but she just told me to leave her alone then blocked me. Do I give her some space, or try and find out what's wrong?

Perfect therapy for people who need help. I would like to say, I never can imagine it could be possible to heal people like that

Feeling depressed or anxious can be so overwhelming. I want to help you feel better and be able to enjoy life. You are not alone and you deserve emotional support.

I suggest giving her some space. She needs her time to cool down, to figure why she got mad at you, to relax and get reasonable. Everybody needs their time, and she needs hers right now. I am not saying you should end the friendship, just saying that you want to give her the space she needs to become rational again, and if you do end the friendship, to do it on better terms. Don't end your friendship because of an impulse, or a random fight. Give her a day or 2 and then try to figure out what happened. Best of luck!

It’s best to give her some space before finding out what’s wrong. Give her a couple days for her to calm down, and politely ask her what’s been going on. If she still doesn’t want to talk about it, ask her if she needs more time to herself, or if she feels comfortable talking about it. Most likely she’s angry/upset about something and needs some space before she can talk to you.

For now, Give her some space, wait for sometime, and hope she will contact you herself. If possible, get in touch with a mutual friend to help you out. Remember to apologize, even if it's yoru fault, you can tell her what's wrong with a calm mind, but apologizing is always a good thing to do. If everythign fails, you need to respect her decisions as well. You can't force anyone. We all make mistakes, specially in anger. So always be careful. Try meditation for anger issues, it will help you. Once you get back to her, never fignt again. Hope for the best, Good luck :)

If I were in that situation I would give her some space. She may need some time to process what happened and maybe evaluate her feelings. I know when I get upset or angry I like to take a step back and analyze a situation. This helps me see if I am being emotional and harsh. Giving her some space may help her see that she is being harsh for blocking you and avoiding you. This can also give you time to process what happened and see if it is even worth continuing a friendship with her. It may be best to give each other some space. Good luck!
