| We're drifting
One of my closest friends, of about 3 years, has recently graduated college. For the last year or so she and I have been really close. We talked almost every day. For hours on end, about anything and everything. Sometimes to the point of sillyness... We've had our ups and downs but thats only natural, right? Since she lives in another state, where she went to school, we really only communicate via phone, email or im.
For the last couple of months, leading up to her graduation, and since then. We rarely talk. I figured she's been very busy with school, preparing for graduation and finding a job which she wasn't too thrilled about, so I hadn't really read too much into it plus I know she tends to get depressed easily. But over these few months, when we do talk. She's very short with me and sometimes snippy. And it hurts my feelings but I feel like if I say something she'll just get upset so I let her be. Our last few conversations have been less than pleasant and so I've been keeping my distance to avoid getting my feelings hurt further. I haven't done anything to her (that I can think of) for her to just decide she doesn't want to talk to me anymore but its hard to read people when its a long distance friendship. I was supposed to visit her earlier this month but I had to cancel plans due to work conflicts. When I told her I couldn't make it, it seemed like she didn't even care. I mentioned doing something later in the year and her response was less than enthused. We've never had any major fights or conflicts just some minor bumps and butting of heads. I just don't know what to make of it. I've given her space, which has been good for me because I focus my time and energy on my own life and problems. At the same time, as a friend, if she's going through stuff I want her to know I'm here for her...its just hard to be a friend to someone who is, quite frankly, pushing you away. Do I just let her be and see if she comes around? or should I talk to her?
