I’m helping my parents move belongings to the new house but somehow I need rest after moving one box of stuff. My BFF who recently moved away still hasn’t replied to my texts or calls since last week. I want to believe we can still be long distance best friends, but people on here and in person say she will gradually distance herself. I feel like a bit lost without this friend because she was more the leader/guide in our friendship and suddenly it feels a bit empty like I don’t know where things can go from here. No one to sit at the beach with and she’d share gen z things with me. I want to go to a wedding party, get a good peer coach client, get dim sum with my mom. It feels like the adventures I had with my BFF has quite possibly come to an end, but I still have the rest of my life ahead of me. Going to support groups help me to cope. One of my friends seems to “love” me. I really prefer for people to not know or care what’s in my heart and I don’t think that counts as real love. But if it’s real love, I will accept it. I really want to know her story. I hope my BFF will maintain some form of friendship with me, but I probably need to learn how to “fly solo” for a while.
