My best friend of 8 years and I haven’t been talking at all lately, we’ve been growing apart for a while and it really scares me.

I’ve had some friendships end badly before but she was always by my side. I felt like even if everyone turned their backs at me she will always be there for me, I felt safe.

I’ve almost always had trouble making friends but it also was calming that even when I’m lonely she’s there and I’ve always tried being there for her as much as I can.

We do live quite far from each other and we usually communicate by text as we don’t often meet up but that was fine for us for the longest while, I do understand it’s not so easy but we haven’t really had that much trouble about it and when we saw each other it was great!

I don’t know how to talk to people and I’m only me with the people I’m really close with which is with her and ever since my last close friendship ended I’ve distanced myself from people and I haven’t fully trusted anyone ever since (except for her obv)

I need advice on how to make friends (yes I’m clueless lol) I’m really awkward around people but I do enjoy company a lot and I’m kinda fun when you get to know me.

And no I’m not replacing my best friend and Ik that if our friendship ended it would be the biggest tragedy to go through specially for me but I just want to be able to continue.

I love my best friend and I’m willing to do anything to keep our friendship together so don’t get me wrong I just want to be able to have someone to talk to specially that me and her haven’t been talking.
