Dealing with a Distant Best Friend
The listener, E, reaches out for advice regarding her best friend of seven years who has grown distant. Despite her friend's claims that it's nothing personal, E finds it hard to believe due to lack of communication and physical meetups. After months of trying to reconnect, E is unsure whether she should give up. In response, the speaker highlights that it's difficult to speculate on the friend's true motives, but E has made efforts to connect and has expressed her desires to spend more time together. However, if the friend is not meeting those needs and desires, E may need to accept the incompatibility of their friendship, respecting her friend's desire for space while seeking new connections that can fulfill her need for regular interactions.
