So me and my friend had an argument. It was honestly both of our faults. We’ve had fights before, but we always just made up the next day like nothing happened.
This time it wasn’t like that.
We ended up in a situation that completely split us apart. Days turned into weeks, weeks turned into months. I was really struggling mentally because we were extremely close.
I tried reaching out multiple times, but he said he needed space. Eventually I got blocked everywhere — Snapchat, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, even SMS. That really hurt because it felt like there was no way back at all.
At one point I even asked through his girlfriend (who is also a close friend of mine) if we could talk, and she told me he wanted me to stop trying. After that, I just stopped.
During that period, I found a new friend group. They were actually there for me when I was at my lowest, and I got really close with them.
Then the complicated part started.
My new friend group and my old friend group (including the best friend I had the fallout with) hate each other. Like genuinely. And now I’m stuck in the middle.
I can’t really be with both at the same time. It’s like I’m being forced to choose between them. And honestly, I don’t want to choose at all.
Because the new group was there for me when I felt my worst and had nobody.
But at the same time, I would’ve done anything for my old friend group before all this happened. We were that close.
Then randomly, we all ended up at the same party recently.
We saw each other multiple times but didn’t speak at first. It was really tense. Then in the last hour he texted me “where are you?” and we ended up meeting for the first time in 3 months.
We actually talked, laughed, and it felt normal again for a moment.
His girlfriend even came over later and basically forced a “make up moment” where we apologized and hugged it out. We were all pretty drunk so I wasn’t sure if it was real or just in the moment.
After that, we started talking again slowly. Snapping, small conversations, rebuilding a bit.
But now things are weird again.
My old friend group is kind of freezing me out because I’ve been spending time with my new friends. And my new friends obviously don’t like the old group either.
So I feel stuck in the middle of two sides that don’t get along at all.
And I don’t really want to lose either of them, but it feels like I’m being pushed to pick one.
Has anyone been in something like this?
