    Your timing is actually insane lol people need to normalize that friendship breakups can be just as painful or more painful than relationship breakups especially when they are mutuals with all of your other friends

      When I sent my reach out text 8 months ago she unblocked me and requested to follow me but never replied and then I heard thru the grapevine that she never responded cuz she thought I didn't want to talk?? So confusing 😭 still never replied

      It happened to me a year ago. She was the best friend I ever had. I want to reach out but I just can't. I did once but nothing came out of that. I wish her the best .

    I had sent out a friend request but before i did i asked god if this friendship is not for me please allow her to deny the request, so i sent it an sure enuff it was deny an i just thanked god, because i have a habit of going back to people who betrayed me, but that little sign help heal me tremendously ❤❤an i will never send another request or give her another thought

    Last month I tried to message an old friend whom I’ve been thinking about for awhile- there was no response and I realized she had blocked me- I feel like that began my healing journey- yesterday I found a song called I Hope by Rebecca Ferguson and it made me realize that instead of feeling a negative emotion towards my ex friend- all I wish is them well✨

      I’m happy it made you feel that way. Someone blocking you dosent mean they hate you it just means they need to move on. I block people every time I end a relationship. Friendship or romantic. This is because I believe what’s done is done and it ended for a reason. I only hate like two people on my block list and those men did me dirty.

    I reached out an old bff and it didn't go well! She said that we have evolved and she doesn't know if we have something in common anymore(after i proposed her a coffee or a walk). Her message hurt me cause it was so cold and distant, i feel so melancholic after this!

      Usually this means the person doesn’t have faith that you have/will change. And that you reached the point of no return.

    I cannot believe the timing of this video. Me and my ex best friend fell out almost two years ago..i reached out it and it has been nothing but a roller coaster of emotions..we both expressed being hurt, then angry, then trying to pick up where we left off and now it’s almost like we can’t find our footing and I think that’s now the worse part it’s like where in a limbo of trying to move past it and being stuck at the same time 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

    Hi Ashley! Just yesterday I was talking about reaching out to my friend from high school. The timing of your video is serendipitous! She and I didn't have a falling out or anything, we just went to separate universities and just stopped talking over time. I reached out to her once before by letter and my info, but I haven't heard anything since. Not knowing is the part that drives me insane. Did she see it? Was she too shy to respond? Does she hate me now? She's the only person from my past that I miss. Honestly, it's really sad.
    Anyways, thanks for the video! It was great as always. :)

      Same goes to me and my long lost best friend from high school. It's been 3 years that we haven't really talked to each other. Now it's hard even just to say hi. I always wanna know any updates from her life and I wanna share mine too. But yeah, maybe it won't happen:)

    Ashley - thank you so much for this video - I’m struggling with a friendship fallout and I tend to avoid confrontation and be passive aggressive - I want to be intentional and active in Pershing reconciliation and healing - but I feel like I still have work to do on myself before reaching out -
    Thank you for making this video it brought new perspective and insight for my next steps. -

    Thank you for this advice! I came here late, but I had been thinking about my ex friend from 3 years ago . And I reached out to her to apologize. This video helped me relieve some guilt and I feel like I made the right choice whether she responds or not

    @usagitengoku8661 2 года назад +4

    i just reached out to her and I am currently waiting on a response. i pulled up a google doc, just went on to start writing and made sure i ONLY apologized for my end and didn't start pointing any fingers. it brought me a lot of peace to apologize finally, i think if she didn't respond i'd be 100% A okay :). But i'll come back to update if there's any response

    Where was this video a year ago?😢 I emailed an ex best friend a year and almost two months ago and she never responded to it. I did exactly what you said you shouldn’t do and I still regret it to this day. I honestly thought that if I reached out and admitted my faults and put everything on the table that she too would admit her faults and we can realize how silly the falling out was and reconcile but it never happened. I ended up, after a few months, deleting the sent email because I would read it over and over and over again trying to figure out what I said wrong or didn’t say. I was hurting myself in the end. We haven’t spoken for almost three years but I’ve given up on trying to reach out. It’s clear it isn’t meant to be, won’t ever be and that I have to move on. I’m also proud of myself because the separation gave me a chance to heal so many parts of myself that I never got the chance to heal and to see so much of myself that needed to change. I wish I could have been this person in our ten year friendship but maybe things happen for a reason and this was it. I miss her every single day and there’s never a moment when I don’t speak of her(never ever negative cause no matter what that’s my ace 🤞🏾) but I know that to move on and be this new person for the people in my life now, I have to let her go and that’s the HARDEST thing to do.

    I feel like you uploaded this for me. I fell out w my bff at the beginning of the month and miss him dearly. I reached out to reconcile and we called it a truce. We both did things to hurt each other, but he still does not initiate contact...
    I also randomly on a whim reached out to an old friend that I hadn't talked to in months. We picked up right where we left off. I have no idea what's in the air.

    Hi I had a best friend that was so sweet and kind and was confident and she believed and me and trusted me and now something was off about her and she called me a stalker and threatened her about just posting sleeping about us on tik tok and she had to delete 30+blockes of accounts and it seems like I was not her and told me that she will never forgive me never again and. I want to apologize to her about posting and wanna be friends again what should I do

    I have a situation that i feel is more complicated, can anyone say what they think? I was best friends with this girl for 4 years ,when i opened up about an ed she started encouriging my behavieour becuse she also suffered from sm similar, i had to put an end to the relationship for my recovery. I also started hanging out with a girl she didn't really like and became friends with her, that was kind of a fuck up from my part. I never really felt i had closure in that relathionship. We saw eachother a couple times after but i was always very ''fake'' about it, never really said how i feel. Whenever i think about her i feel a lot of pain and always want to know what she is up to. Nobody has ever been able to give me advice since it is quite a particular situation. Should i reach out? I think I am most afraid of not knowing what to tell her, meeting her and forgetting how to speak, I would like to apolagise to her and talk to her fr but i am scared i will not bee able to...

    • @fane6154
      @fane6154 Год назад

      I encourage you to talk to her again. I think you did the right thing at the time by cutting the friendship off because it was obviously affecting you negatively. But if the same thing happens again, I think instead of cutting ties right away, give her a chance. What I mean is tell her how that makes you uncomfortable and set boundaries.
      Personally, I would rather not talk with soemone than be fake with them. The best to do right now is reach out, tell her you're sorry and why the friendship fell out. Tell her how you felt. And ask her how she's doing, catch up!
      If it helps, write everything down first like in jot notes, points of the things you wanna mention. And know why you're doing this like the video said, do you wanna be friends again? Do you want closure? Knowing that you'll be on the right track.
      I am also planning on reaching out to my ex bff so I know what you're going through. Good luck :)
