i had my best friend before in my grade school were happy chatting,playing enjoy life and make fun of things we enjoy our friendship so much.. until one day she met another friend and they became close to the point that she has no time to me anymore well it hurts seeing your best friend with others and enjoying things even though your not with her side.. time comes i realize seeing her happy makes me feel the same way, but her new friend telling bad things about me to the point that my friend is angry and she doesn't even approach me or ask me if that is true or not... until now we don't have any communication...

Sadly a friend of any type can become an enemy. Especially if it is a friend that you confided personal information in. This is exactly why I am very careful with what I tell my friends. I trust them to an extent, but given them information which they can use to hurt you if you have a falling out or whatever, that is just asking for trouble. Then again there are those who are easily swayed by lies. To me, that really makes me wonder if they were really my friend in the first place. Was I blind? Was I naive? The chances are that is going to be something that is very true. And the saddest thing is, change is inevitable and they tend to move over to a new crowd, that you're not welcomed in. You are on opposite sides, which can turn into bitterness.

That's too bad that her new friend isn't a good person. My best friend when we were younger and I just grew apart. We stopped talking.

Will you listen to an elderly advice? If so then read, otherwise forget. If you are a genuine friend of her, please do not get excited, and do anything adverse or hostile. Apparent attraction makes people forget genuine friends and wellwishers. A real friend will never tell bad things about a girl's old friends. If the girl has little brain, she will realise that very soon. Then she will come back to you. If not, then she is not worth to be your friend. The world is still big enough to get a better girl to develop friendship. Look for a better friend after a reasonable time (say one year). Never repent, never be hostile and never feel defeated. Remember when something goes, another better thing comes. This is an applied truth. I have verified in my life. But this experience in your case will build a better personality in you. Follow my instruction, you will definitely win in life. We feel bad because we stick to 'today', forget that every day is followed by a 'tomorrow', which we only can make better.

Yes, this is a fact. Our best friend could be our best enemy. Our Best friend knows everything about and anything about us. They knew how we act and on how we react easily when a problem arises.It is really so sad that when our best friends turns out to be our enemy. It happened to me before and now here I am, Alone it's because of her that I can't trust someone easily.

Hi! I think it is true. Because your best friend is the person who know you very well. The person whom you share your secrets which he can use as a weapon against you.I hope in time your best friend will realize your value as her friend and will not just believe what other people are saying about you.

That was in grade school. A lot of friendships turn sour during those years but eventually they patch things up when they grow older. If you want to save the friendship, take the initiative and talk to her. I gather from what you posted that you're all adults by now, and I think you could talk as adults as well.

sometimes its true. why? because our best friend is our best friend and the closest one to us. which means they know what our secrets and flaws, and that can be their hold against us when the time comes our sweet relationship with them turn sour and bitter. and we can do the same also. but remember, we should not let anyone ruin our friendship cause best friends are hard to find. so as much as possible keep the relationship. if in your case, the two of you just break apart then maybe she is not your bestfriend. :)

Sometimes it is true, that is why it is very important to choose friends that you know you can trust and rely on for a long time. Otherwise, most friends are very disappointing.
