Thanks for responding- Sorry to hear that your friends maybe got fed up with you, or simply may have not cared as much about the friendship as you. I don't think that they are fed up with me, at least I don't think so as I have complained to them a lot less lately and I always listen to their problems. I'm always asking them how they're doing and doing thoughtful things for them.

I don't think that I'm needy or smothering them at all as I don't call them that often or even email them that often! I just initiate all of our get togethers now! UGH!!! They both know that I'm depressed, but it seems like they were accepting of my issues. Friend A even dealt with some depression that was brought on by a horrible former boss and a difficult roomate as well.

She was never quite as depressed as me and even told me that I never came across as being depressed to her! I then told her that it's because it was always fun hanging out with her and that she made me laugh! I always had fun with friend B too, but for a long time I have suspected that friend B, my so called best friend is jealous of me since she has to struggle in life and her life is hard compared to mine. One red flag is that she never compliments me on anything anymore, and she used to when things were better for her.

Anyways, I have always been a good friend to both of them, so to be treated like this bothers me! It only takes a minute or less to call, text, or email a response, so to not do so speaks volumes about how the other person feels about you, like you're not really a priority in their life at all! Ugh! If this helps, they have more friends than me, and they're both usually busy people and more social.

Still, their sudden change in behaviour is very odd and it's raising red flags. I try not to take things personally, but yes, it is hard to not do so when this happens! Sometimes I feel like giving up as most people tend to be so selfish and thoughtless. Hopefully I'm wrong about them and hopefully they'll get back to me soon. If they do, I'm definitely going to tell them how I feel as nicely as I can. I hope that will understand where I'm coming from and change. If not, then I might have to give up on them and find new friends who are more caring and attentive.
