slipping away

I have a friend, she is my best friend, she is also my sister. There was a time when we were inseperable. Nothing could come between us. There was nothing greater than our friendship. Lately though, it seems as though we arent even friends. More like just sisters. We dont really talk to each other anymore, where we used to make time each day just to talk. With only each other, we would close out anyone else that tried to speak to us at that time. We just don't seem as close as we once were. I don't know what to do about this. It's really tearing me apart, because I need some one to talk to right now. There are so many things in my life right now, that needs to come out. I need to get this stuff off my mind and I have no one to listen. What would you do?

I would try and talk to her, tell her that you need to talk. I have found that a lot of people change, especially the older they get or if they get a new boyfriend/girlfriend, I don't know why they have to change but they do, it does frustrate me sometimes because I know I haven't done anything wrong to be treated like this. Maybe your sister is doing new things with new friends or something like that, I would just try, she is your sister and if you were this close before then she should get back with you, you are sister after all.

Go back to your sister. It is very simple. Meet her. Tell her that you love her more than anything else in the world. Your can't lose your sister for some stupid reason. Try to meet her and when you meet give her a tight hug. Say sorry to her if you have done something wrong. There is nothing in this world that can bring to persons closer other than love. You can show her your love and win her back. Don't lose such a precious friend. Don't just let her go away from you. Remove every bad feeling from your heart.

I wish I could just go to her, but we live so far apart. I think things will begin to be better from now on. I appreciate your response.

Hi Starmashgate, You guys are not only sisters but best of friends as well! You are so so lucky to have her in your life. It sounds like you two have maybe drifted apart lately. Maybe she also has a lot going on in her life. If I were you, I would set up a lunch date and tell her how much you miss her. I am betting that she is missing you as much as you are missing her.

I wish I could take her to lunch. Unfortunately, we live 2000 miles apart. Thank you for your response all the same.

My sister and I have always been the best of friends also. Lately though, I have been feeling the same way about her! Every time she get's a new boyfriend suddenly I am out of the picture again... It hurts but I have come to realize it's a matter of immaturity. I have talked to her about it and she says she doesn't realize she is doing it. Maybe, you do just need to talk to her (I know it's easier said than done) but possibly things will get better and you will be close again if you do. Your little bit of effort might really pay off, who knows? Good Luck and I hope things get better with your friendship =)

I on the other hand have a best friend that I treat like a sister that I never had. We too were soo close that it would seem like forever when we talk. After I moved out of town things weren't the same as it used to be. Although that is the case I still text her once in a while or send pms to her just to let her know that I'm still here for her. She would only leave short messages back to me but that's enough for me to know that she'll always be there for me no matter what. I think starting the conversation with your sister will be the most difficult thing but I guess once you started it communicating with her will come in a breeze. You just have to make the first move.

I think that has been the problem with us. We both moved away to different parts of the country. I hope we can stay in touch the way you two have.

I too have a sister with whom I feel very close to. If we have any type of problem we know that each other is there day or night. I personally think that if YOU are feeling the distance between yourself and your best friend, then she surely is also. Therefore would it not make sense that one of you need to bite the bullet and approach the subject, you might actually find she has been waiting for something to start the subject going. Then you will probably also find that whatever was the cause at the beginning was something very small it's just that as time passed, saying something becomes a big scary thing. Perhaps by the end of the conversation, you'll have both caught up on the much missed trials and tribulations of each others lives and then find it very silly that things were changing in the first place. In short, talk to your sister, she probably misses you very much too xx

call your friend and try to get close to her again. if you say that you always been like sisters maybe she misses you too but dont know how to approach you again like you are feeling now. just talk to her and tell her that you need someone to talk to and that you miss the times you were so close. for sure your friend wont refuse to hear you and your problems^^
