I'm a girl, and I'm in love with my best friend. She doesn't love me back, but she used to say she did. Now, she has a boyfriend, and I love her so much. It hurts talking about him, and I can't cope with knowing what they do alone. So, we're growing apart, and she doesn't like me as much because I can't support her. I'm losing her, and it hurts more than ever, and all I've done is love her.
- bogo, it's natural to feel heartbroken when you're in love with your best friend who is in love with someone else.
- At this point, you might need to find some way to move on from the love you hold for your friend.
- Since she cannot return your feelings and has found someone who makes her happy, it's probably best for you to move on as well. It's not going to be easy, but it may be the only way for you to find happiness again.
- In order for you to move on and put your feelings for your best friend to rest, it's possible that you might need some time apart to settle your feelings. It might not be the case that your best friend doesn't like you anymore (after all, she is your best friend); she might just be offering you the chance to settle your thoughts and your feelings on your own so that you can both continue being best friends.
- Think about what you want. If you still want to have her in your life as your best friend, then you need to settle your feelings so that you can support her love. Consider making new connections with some of your other friends, and think about deepening those relationships and getting to know different kinds of people. This could be an opportunity for you to meet and get along with others around you. If it starts to get too hard, confide in someone close, someone you trust; there's no need to handle this alone.
