Bestfriend or Not?

i happen to have a "bestfriend" who claims, sure, that we're bestfriends. well, i like the idea of having a bestfriend because i thought it means i have someone whom i can confide my inner self with. i thought she would also do the same thing. however, in time, i became instantly aware that we're not anymore communicating.. ok, that's fine. i'm busy, she's busy.. but then when i try to hangout with her, she's completely different now.. like when we hangout, she seems to look faraway like she's looking for someone else.. then she has this disease of telling me that she knows something that i don't.. and when i ask her about it, she won't tell me.. then she tells other people about it.. strangers even.. ok.. then she tells people we're bestfriends. right.. maybe i'm just the jealous type because, ofcourse, since we're bestfriends, we're suppose to be sharing each other's stories and all the other stuff.. but then.. she won't.. and she's telling other people.. i don't get it. when i text her, she says she's busy or she won't reply at all.. then i later found out she's texting her other friends.. and then she tells everyone we're bestfriends.. then she tells me she also has new bestfriends.. then she tells me she knows something that i don't.. and she tells her "new" bestfriends about it but she won't share it with me.. and she tells her new bestfriends that we're bestfriends.. this upsets me because it's like she's calling me her bestfriend just for the sake of having an old bestfriend.. that she could tell the people that she has an old bestfriend.. as if the word "bestfriend" doesn't have any essence to her.. i does to me.. and i'm getting madder and madder by the minute.. excuse me, but am i just making a big deal out of this?

I don't think your making a big deal out of it diannebcrs. You deserve a real bestfriend, a true friend who will remain loyal to you and will make you feel like a real bestfriend. Its not worth hanging out and talking to this "best friend" of yours, i think she doesn't want to be tied-up. There will be new friends that will come into your life, am i of those. So don't get mad anymore, let her go, maybe sometime she'll realize that your really her best friend :)

I don't know about you but I have a best friend I talk to every day and we talk about eveything. If there is somthing I don't want anyone else to know I tell her and she does the same with me. That is what I call a best friend.

I don't think your making a big deal about it. To me she sounds just a little immature. I mean that has happened to me, and I just go make other friends, and when they want to hang out with you makes plans with your other friends and be like "I already have plans, sorry". She will soon relize she has messed up, and will feel bad for everything. Also you can talk to her about it, and tell her how you feel. Tell her your sick of getting pushed around, and to quick acting immature.. ... Or, if she doesn't relize how fake she is being, just dont talk to her anymore. It will be hard but maybe she isnt as great as of a friend as she used to be.

sounds to me like she is not being a great friend. don't let yourself get so upset about it. lots of friendship go through hard time.. do the two of you spend a lot of time together? do you have other friends that you can talk to? give yourself time to sort through your feelings before you "make a big deal" out of this.
