i feel scared and alone. i'm honestly losing hope. my world is falling apart...first i stared drifting away from my best friend of seven years. and now i might be losing my best friend who has been my apart of my support system and has been like a brother to me...now it seems like i forced him to be my friend? i don't know. he never told me this i had to hear it from someone else. I mean if he didn't want to be my friend anymore then why still keep me around if he just started hating me. I feel like i'm playing the victim card. it's just i needed to get my thoughts out i guess i dont know anymore...

I've been in a similar situation and I was lucky that it played out alright for me in the end, but I wish I had talked to them frankly about what I was feeling and listened to them tell me what it was they were thinking as well.

If you don't know, the best thing to do is ask and find out, especially if it's scary. Because it's something difficult to do, it means it is an issue that's important to you. Please do your best to overcome it for yourself even if you have doubts.

Have you considered having a conversation with this person instead of relying on gossip and what others say. Stories get turned around and confused and sometimes people just don't tell the truth. The only way that you'll know for sure if there is a problem is to talk to your friend, and if there is a problem then see what you guys need to do to fix it. Stop listening to everyone else and go to the source.

Be strong and take care.
