How should I react to a best friend who has been avoiding me lately? I've been trying to talk to him about the situation, but he just won't talk about it. He's been hanging out with these other guys, who are also friends of mine, but they don't care too much for my friendship, they care more for my best friend and his money. (he has a lot, by the way.) I just hate to see him and the other guys hang around, with out me.

I had the same problem with a good friend of mine. A few years ago she got a good job with more money and she began to hang out with her colleagues. She says that she is very busy, she doesn't answer the phone and I'm the last person on her schedule. I'm so sad that I don't even want to discuss this with her.

Sometimes, the hypocrites can break best of friends. Maybe his new group did the same. However, if you are a best friend, give it time. Let him be and back off. It really hurts but there isn't much you can do. If you go and ask, he may be offended for interference. If you don't clarify, you feel hurt too. It's such a tricky situation. If ever possible, try to talk on phone or try to bring it up when or if you can get together without the rest of them.
Good luck and I hope you guys are friends again!

I think you should try to have a talk with your best friend and most probably this will help. A good straight talk always helps in life. I think there must be some some misunderstanding and most probably talking will help.

Hi, Laion!
Going where you're not wanted is a path to misery. If your friend won't explain, then you sort of have to accept it. It is what it is. It's certainly not a friendship any more.
Broaden your horizons and find new friends who care for you!

I think he have reasons why his trying to avoid you. Sometimes friends trying to avoid us if we do something that they don't like and sometime its a reverse situation like he is the one who do something wrong to you. Sometimes they are guilty in what they have done to us so they trying to avoid us but if you think you did something wrong on him try to talk to him in other day if his already on his mood.

The avoiding mentality of you friend towards you may due to, he had found a fault from you which was supposed not to done by you. Doing something which is quite unexpected can hurt others. May be your friend has hurted or have the feeling by your doing.
I would ask you to say sorry for the things which you had done. May god bless you and may he bless you to turn the things to normal.
