My best friend just dumped me and I can’t get over it
You can call me Nicole Richie. My best friend just dumped me a la Paris Hilton and I can’t quite get over it. Paris and I did everything together — from getting our nails done to dissing the ugly guys in our school to helping each other through our family agonies. In fact, we grew up together. She’s really the most important person in my life, or she used to be. I don’t understand what happened! We used to be so close, but it’s like she just woke up one day and decided she couldn’t be friends with me anymore. I’ve been asking her, but she refuses to explain. She’s not being outright mean to me, but she isn’t the same sweet, warm, thoughtful best friend I knew. Do you think we’ll ever be friends again someday?
answer:
To be honest, I really think “dissing the ugly guys” may be why you’re suffering a lost friendship. You really shouldn’t treat people like that, and boasting about it on this page isn’t something I would feel proud of if I were you. Of course that isn’t the main issue here, but I had to say something. Your friendship has obviously taken a knock and if “Paris” won’t tell you why, then you don’t really have many options. Keep being civil to her in the hope that whatever it is that’s going on with her, she will open up to you. In the meantime, go and find other friends. After all, that’s what Nicole Richie did. Whatever happens, try not to be mean to other people. Such behaviour has a way of coming back to you.

Hey, me too. but my best friend told me why. She said I broke her deepest confidence which is true and I have endlessly apologised and begged and begged forgiveness. She like Paris is not outwardly mean to me she has just said she can’t trust me anymore and is no longer interested in being friends. We have spoken or emailed everyday for 7 years and I adored her friendship. She told me no friend has ever hurt her so badly and I accept that I have done serious damage to our friendship. She has told me to go away and leave her alone which is devasting me. How can I earn her trust back or at least get her to talk to me again so I can work on making ammends. I would do anything to save this friendship but I am at a loss as to what can be done.
Deeply regretful and sad.
