Hi, so I (24 F) have been best friends with my friend (22 F) for almost 10 years now. We met when we were young and both of us had some troubled teen years that we bonded through together, in recent years we have both been doing better and everything is looking brighter for the both of us. Recently I have been trying to reach out for hangouts as usual but have just been ghosted and when I finally asked if she was mad at me she wrote a message saying that she doesn’t want to be my friend anymore. I was completely blindsided by this because I thought she had just been busy with school and wasn’t responding because of that, I called her and she explained how she had been thinking about it for a while and thought our relationship was just built on old trauma and that we can’t make any new memories together. She also said that we don’t have anything in common and has basically grown apart. This is devastating to me cause throughout the years I have thought of her as my little sister and done everything I can for her, now I realise I cared about her more than she cared about me. I know it’s her decision and I respect that but I just feel so empty, any advice on how to move on from this?
