I have this friend(27F) I used to be really close with, but lately something feels off. She’s been rude for no clear reason. Like, when I try to help, she’ll say things like “did I ask you?” which honestly hurts because I’m not doing anything wrong.
I also feel like she’s not genuinely happy for me. My wins are small, but I can still sense the lack of support. It feels like there’s some comparison going on, especially since I’m doing a bit better academically right now.
What bothers me more is that she mainly reaches out when she needs something. Otherwise, I feel ignored or left out when I’m around her. The whole vibe between us has changed, and I don’t really understand why.
Another thing that makes it uncomfortable is that she still talks to a guy I had a disagreement with earlier. We stopped talking after he made a comment blaming me for something, which I didn’t appreciate. She knows about it but still interacts with him normally.
So whenever I’m there and he shows up, I usually just keep to myself or talk to someone else while they’re talking. I’m not trying to control who she talks to, but it does make me feel a bit awkward and out of place.
I’ve started keeping my distance because I don’t want to force anything, but it still feels strange losing a friendship like this without a clear reason.
tl;dr
