I'm really confused and hurt because my best friend of several years is definitely pulling away but doesnt seem to want to talk about it. She doesn't initiate contact or ask me to do things anymore but when I ask her why she always has some excuse. I sense she isn't being honest and isn't all that invested in our friendship any longer but she says things are fine. We were really close before and the distance is very obvious. The only thing she asked me to do in the last 4 months is to do babysit her dogs while she was out of town. I'm hurt and not sure what to do if she won't talk to me about what changed or why.
All right, lets say we've been close friends for 5 years then. She refers to me as her best friend. Or at least she always used to introduce me to people that way.
Any suggestions on how to respond to this situation? Should I just stop reaching out or ask once again what's wrong?
Maybe she's going through something challenging at home or at work. Why don't you ask her out for lunch and tell her that you feel she is putting distance between you?
