I still have to change my attitude and be careful with what I talk about, which really sucks because this is the one person in the world other than T I've been mostly honest with, but still.

Please ignore me, I'm just thinking out loud. I know it's irrelevant.
SO are you saying that your friend completely rejected you because of something you did (or not did), and didn't bother trying to work it through? Yeah...that isn't a very good friend. I spent about a year extremely angry about my parents' divorce (i was an adult), and took it out on my best friend/roommate at the time. I snapped at her ALL THE TIME, and was generally unpleasant. She wasn't very happy about this, and a few times I would apologize--but i was TERRIFIED i would lose her friendship because i was so awful.

Years later, I finally told her how much i appreciated that she didn't end our friendship because of my awful-ness. It made me sad for a long time that I took my anger out on her, but she said she knew I was going through a rough time, and basically just beared with it with me.

I 10,000% know I have an amazing friend.
Thanks for this!
