Can I have advice too maybe… My friend stopped messaging me, responding to me, even posting stuff on here.. and I have been soooo worried. Come to find out, they have been liking stuff (and presumably seeing the messages) all the time. I’m upset and worn out and gah I’m sorry…

Sadie: Oh, dear…that is an upsetting situation, and I’m sorry. 😦

I’m definitely no expert, but I have been through something similar, and it’s hard…there are SO many things that could be going on: maybe your friend is going through some things, and needs some space (which, if they’re still logging in and liking things but not actively posting, sounds like it could possibly be the case, but there’s no way of knowing for sure unless they tell you)…but there isn’t a whole lot you can do when someone gets this way, other than letting them know that you still care, that you are worried, and that when/if they’re ever ready to talk, you’ll still be there to lend your support…sometimes, all it takes is time.

But, if worst comes to worst and they really don’t want to be friends anymore…it will be okay. Losing a friend hurts, badly, and it is okay to feel sad and mourn the loss of that bond, but you have to keep in mind: it was not your fault. You did your best, you tried to be there for them, and that’s what matters. It’s sad, and you’ll miss them and the good times you shared…but you will be okay.

*If anyone thinks that I missed something (which is very likely), or has better advice to offer, please feel free to chime in.*
