I don't often share my feelings with people, but when I do, I talk to only two people. I consider both of them to be my best friends. I had a bit of an argument with one of them 3 months ago and things haven't been the same. We didn't talk to each other for a month after that, but then things got better. We still talk but it's mostly just one way, just me sharing my feelings with them. This wasn't the case before, we used to talk and share everything.

I miss the old days, I really want our friendship to be the way it was. Things have been better recently but I don't know how long it will take for things to go back to the way they once were.

It really bothers me, I don't know what to do or what to say to heal things further.

You could tell them what you’ve said here about it not feeling the same and wanting it to go back to what it was or you could wait and see. I’m glad you’re talking again ((((Hugs)))).

Thank you,

I hope it works. If things go back to the way they once were, I would have one less thing to worry about.

AW! I am sorry that you are struggling right now. Sometime when someone hurt our feeling especially over a misunderstanding. We can feel defeated and not want to talk to someone. They may feel that they need a break. Or at least some time to deal with how they are feeling. Have you apologized. Sometime people don't accept our apology and that is on them.

If they are shutting down a side of the brain then you gotta understand. I think it does run its course certain things you just gotta be strong. It is like a relationship it gets stale after a while.

I had recently apology to someone who didn't accept my apology and had attacked me multiple times. Which had really hurt me I more way than one. So now I was left with no other choice but to just leave them alone and hope that things will get better. If it doesn't than that is on them.

Sometime it just best to leave a relationship. They say that is harder stay in a relation and try to make a relationship work that is not going to work out. Then it is to leave a relationship broken hearted or hurt really bad. Sometime people just shut down when the pain is just to much for them.

Sometime you just have to know when it is time to let go which is hard when you want the relationship or the friendship to work out. We never think about how it might end so we are not prepared for the emotion that we have when it ends and I think that is why it hurts so much.

Your friend might be feeling exactly the same way but is afraid to be vulnerable as well. I also encourage you to tell them how you feel.

Good luck!!
