Friends are not for ever, not at all.

I had a very close friends' circle of 5. For me they all meant a lot, more than anything. One of them was like my very sister and I cared her like anything. We have been friends for years. But suddenly this girl does not talk to me, and another friend told me that she does not like me at all, she always hated me. I was shocked to say the least. Now 2 other friends in the group also dumped me for her. I am very low, I am not sure what made her do that, and others back her. I have never said a single word wrong to her. She has been the dearest to her, and all knows that, so does she. Now it has been weeks, they laugh and play in front of me, and I am very upset, I thought they would come to me, soon. But now it is certain, they will never talk to me again. It has defied every logic I had about friendship. I would never have any more friend in my life, because, I cared for this girl, so much which no one could even think of and she left me, so I know anyone else can. I am so moody nowadays and so alone.

you care for her but she hates u!tough to digest!how can someone do that? u definitely need to talk to her in person!she has left many questions unanswered.atleast ask her for a sane explanation as to what made her leave you! if u love/care for someone,you may not get it back in the same amount but the person can never hate you! there is some serious misunderstanding i must tell you otherwise a friendship of so many years cannot fail or may be someone is trying to create a rift between you and her out of fun or jealousy! it happens..we feel we havent done anything wrong but the other person may not think so!u said u treated her like her own sister,probably this must have raised her expectations from you,may be you didnt react(under a particular situation)according to her which must have hurted her(though not deliberately) and this is how she is showing her anger!plz talk to her and ask her where you went wrong!and plz dont wait for her to come to you,u may get late!i hope there are no ego hassles btw you and her! u stated that your frnds told u she hated u.probably they must be knowing the answer.why dont u ask them. you can take a common friend and ask him/her to bail you out! i know you must be disheartened because even i have dealt with similar situations.but atleast i knew the reason and the fact that it was their selfish motive behind it actually gave me the strength to move on!i was actually releived that i wasn't wrong anywhere! it's all the more embarrassing that you keep eagerly waiting for ur friends who actually keep laughing in front of you and neglecting you! if you are not guilty,im sure she will realize it soon and come back!people you love the most,often hurt you more!so before moving on(which you have to)keep trying till the last to save your friendship!even if u fail,learn from it and dont judge everybody alike! im responding quite late...by now you must have talked to her i guess so!is everything clear?

No dear. I have churned out all the possibilities. It might be infact true, Two-three times I went behind her with similar issue, but it seems it is irritating her. So this time I put the onus on her and as expected she took the advantage and is never turning my side. So, maybe she is happier that way, let her be. You can understand, if someone is not talking because of ego and otherwise. She seems to be very happy every time and enjoying herself. But everytime when I see her, I lose all my mood, thinking how could that be. It takes me time to recover.

if she didnt like you..i wonder why didnt she showed up earlier and how could it be possible that you never felt so and how were you both carrying your friendship if she was never interested!and like you are upset ,im sure she also must be feeling equally bad because when a relationship ends ,both parties are hurt. she must be having a reason for not liking you..jss wait for her to open up!and next time take care ,dont let your emotions and energy go waste.! hope you get out of it soon.

I am so sorry to hear this has happened to you. There just doesn't seem to be any logic behind it and your female friend seems to have been the cause of this rift between your circle of friends. All I can suggest is try to make some new friends and don't let your old friends see how much you are hurting. It's very weird that your other friend said this girl has always hated you, especially as you treated her like a sister. Time to move on for now hun. Put your energies into making some new pals and concentrate on moving forward with your career. Seriously as we get older we have less time for friends. Those that we thought would be by our sides forever move on and drift away. Maybe this time has come a bit early for your liking but if you show them that you are not missing them and are making new friends, maybe they will see that you are fully able to function without them, maybe it will inspire one or more of them to make the effort to be pals with you again. Don't let them see how much they're hurting you. If and when they make the effort to be friendly with you later you can tell them that you need to know why they behaved this way. In general though, I'd suggest moving on and making new friends. I'm sure you will be able to easily do so, you come across as a lovely person. Good luck hun. x

No dear, I am now like the kitten that fell in the hot water. The last thing I would do is to make any more friends. I just want to know why she did that? I don't want her to be my friend, I won't force her, but at least she owes me an explanation. She simply is acting as if she never knew me. Even if anyone else from the group had done this I would not have been affected this much, I never even in dreams thought she would do this. All those memories are resonating in my mind, I am helpless.

I hope you are ok, I just popped back to find out if the situation had improved and maybe things are a bit better with your friends circle especially the girl who seemed to have always hated you. I hope some of the issues have been resolved now and that you are happier? x

buddy, its really sad and shocking to hear about such a thing, friends stabing in the back.. or parting ways is the worst thing that can happen to someone. friends are priceless so this hurts a lot. unlike others, i wont suggest you to "forget" everything and look for new friends.. i ve been through similar problems and trust me, you can never forget such things especially when you are not at fault, you have to know the reason at any cost. what i feel is that there might have been a really big misunderstanding or something.. probably someone said something against you to that female which kinda soured your relation.. i think you should make a genuine effort to talk to them about it and ask what went wrong.. i know you wouldnt be at peace till that time. i wish you all the luck and hope that you get your dear friends back :)

I have had sleepless nights thinking about the reason, but the problem is she seems to be genuinely not interested in me as a friend. Whenever I see her, she is very happy and enjoying herself with others. Maybe I was the thorn in her heart, so I don't want to kill her happiness, let it be what it is now, but I am only sad that I don't know the very reason for her act.
