Q&A for How to Know if Your Friend No Longer Likes You

It depends on what you want to accomplish. Sometimes people just drift apart, so if you're okay with the friendship ending, you don't have to do anything. But if you miss her, tell her! Say something like, "I miss the way we used to hang out all the time. We should try harder to stay in touch." If she doesn't seem to be interested in being friends anymore, that's tough, but you'll have to accept it and move on.

Talk to her; it may just be a misunderstanding. Maybe she feels restricted with one friend, so she's expanding her friend circle. The best option is to talk to her.

Try talking to her. Apologize and tell her that it won't happen again. Tell her that you really value your friendship with her and you hope she can forgive you. If she won't talk to you right now, you may have to wait a few days for her to calm down first.

Start by asking her to hang out. If she says yes you can have the opportunity to ask her what is wrong. But if she says that there is no need to hang out or makes up an excuse why she can't, you need to confront her about the issue or try to find another friend.

It depends on how she leaves the room. If she tells you "goodbye," and maybe tells you where she's going, she might just have to leave. If you walk in, and she flat out ignores you and leaves, then she might be trying to ignore you.

Ask her what's going on. Explain what you've been noticing and feeling. You may have been misreading her, or perhaps she's focusing more on other relationships right now. Either way, having an honest conversation will hopefully bring some clarity.

When I want to tell my friend something, I have a sleepover. That might work for you. But don't tell her, "I don't want to be friends anymore" unless you're really sure you want to end it. Try saying something like, "I feel like we're drifting apart," and then see where the conversation goes from there.

You just have to let it go and move on. They obviously weren't that great of a friend if they're ditching you. It will get easier with time. You might want to read this article on How to Cope with the End of a Long Friendship .

Try calling or speaking with her in person and expressing your desire to remain friends. See how responsive she is. It may take more than texts to keep your friendship going.

She may be afraid that you know about her problems. Hence, she'd rather talk to others who are not close to her and won't know that there is something wrong with her. Or she may have grown apart from you and doesn't have the guts to say so. In any case, just ask her when she is away from those friends and get to the truth. And get a new friend if she still doesn't treat you right.

In this situation, it is best to confront the friend and tell them how you are feeling. You should get your answer as to whether or not they still want to be friends. If they don't want to be friends anymore, a frank discussion should bring this out into the open. Never be angry with them if they say that they don't want to be friends--in life, change is inevitable and sometimes relationships come to a natural end.

No! If your friend is being mean one day it doesn't mean you're no longer friends. It could've just been a hard day and she was taking it out on you. I wouldn't worry about it, but if you are, I suggest that you talk to her and ask if she's okay, hopefully she will break down and tell you what's going on. If this continues, though, you should tell her how you're feeling.

You can't make them be friends with you. The best you can do is just be kind to him/her and hope he/she will be your friend again.

Think about what you have done that may have been viewed as toxic and think about how you can change this behavior. Consider asking your friends how they feel about it.

I know how you feel. Maybe try hanging out with them more. Try finding activities they like to do and get involved.

She sounds like a bad friend. If she knows this is is your enemy, consider talking to her about it. If she doesn't know, it's not her fault. Tell her this is bothering you a little.

It's best just to ask a straight question if you want a straight answer.

The best thing you can do is reach out and explain your feelings. Maybe he's doing this because the girl might get jealous if she sees you two hanging around all the time. If you reach out and the response is defensive or negative, I would suggest being civil but moving on. There are better people out there who will genuinely enjoy your presence!

They have not stopped being friends with you necessarily. This happens a lot when people get into new relationships. He/she may not even realize they're doing it. Bring it up to them, tell them you miss them, and if they're a good friend, hopefully they'll make more time for you.

She could just be in a bad mood. Try approaching her and asking why she's not acting the same. Ask if you did anything wrong or if she's made new friends.

It's his life. You should respect his choices and use whichever pronoun(s) and name he prefers. Remember, his gender identity doesn't change who he is mentally or emotionally, and that's what truly matters.

She's feeling insecure at school for some reason, and she's taking it out on you. Maybe she's being bullied or teased. That's no excuse, though. Next time you are with her outside of school, tell her that the way she's treating you at school is unacceptable and that you aren't going to be friends with her anymore if she can't be more respectful. If she doesn't agree to change, find new friends. You don't need to put up with someone who is rude to you.

No. Don't quit being friends with her just because of her other friends. Why don't you try to get to know them better at the party?

Bring it up to her again. Tell her that someone else told you that she doesn't want to be friends, and that if that's the way she feels, she needs to just be honest with you about it. If she won't admit, but keeps avoiding you, start distancing yourself from her and find some new friends.

Try confronting them and asking them why they aren't hanging out with you any more. Tell them how you feel about it and ask if you can all hang out sometime together.

Sometimes people drift apart. You could try telling her you miss her and asking if you did anything wrong, but she may just be exploring new friendships, and there's nothing wrong with that. In fact, you should do the same thing!

Friendship is a two-way street. Have you tried reaching out to him? Have you ever done anything to make him think you're not interested in his friendship? The best thing you can do is reach out and ask him to do something that you guys always used to do, and if he doesn't want to then it's time to move on to better people that genuinely want to be around you!

Give her time. She may be in a bad mood or frustrated about something. Giving her space may enable her to calm down so that when you try to talk to her again, she'll be more open to it.

Talk to your friend and tell her you miss her.

I suggest reaching out to her. Just say, "hey, how's it going?" See how quickly and how warmly she responds. Ask if she's been really busy with something. This would let you know if she was actually busy or just avoiding you. If it turns out to be the latter, then it's time to just accept some harsh truths. People change and sometimes they can be very shallow. Just accept it and move on. It won't be painless but time will heal your scars.
