Sorry, I got a bit confused about whose who.....but the basics are about friendships.

Some people that we grow up with & are friends with....we tend to grow away from as we find we have less in common or we find we don't care for the way their personalities are developing. It's important to be friends with people that you like as the bottom line. Every relationship will have it's ups & down's.....that's just life when different people get together as friends......even at my age of 58, one has misunderstandings at times....but working through some differences is a growing process & can grow friendships closer rather than ending them. From what you have written, I'm really not sure that the girl who was your best friend for 8 years is really a good person to be friends with.....I think personally from what you have talked about & the way she acts around others.....I would keep my distance.

I think your idea of talking about this with your psychologist is a very good idea......sure your psychologist can get into some deeper interpersonal skill issues with you in this area & maybe give you some valuable support that you can take on into more relationships throughout your life.

Glad you are here & posting at PC.....I am sure others will have more input on your thread here....just hang in there & keep posting.
