So, me and this girl. Let’s call her Nina. Have been friends for 5 or 6 years now. Never having spent more then a month away from eachother. We shared secrets all the time, and we used to be neighbours.
We were the type of friends that staying over for 10 minutes became a 3 day sleepover together laughing and just joking around with eachother. As we have the same humor and always have we have never had issues with jokes.
When I moved away. Our friendship seemed to only get stronger as I saw her every day between Monday – Friday. But the sleepovers happened less. And less.
When I got a puppy (I also already had an older dog to) . She seemed to be obsessed with coming over for hours at a time even when I said I had stuff to do. And she would get pissed when MY dog and MY puppy came over to me to lay on me instead of her. And she’d barely talk to me and just talk to my dogs.
Nothing wrong with talking to my dogs but she barley spoke to me
I told her multiple times I don’t want her disciplining them either but she never listened.
Anyway.
What I think happened:
So the day before was fine. We were laughing talking to the end of the day when we left eachother to go home.
But today. I walked over to her. And she looked pissed of. So I asked if she was alright or something happened. Maybe she didn’t get enough sleep cause she struggled to sleep a lot
But. She just walked past me after saying “no.”. And since she has been very short with me or just ignored me
For some reason I have this feeling she is jealous that I’ve been hanging out with 2 more friends recently. And “we’re leaving her out”. But we aren’t leaving her out I don’t think.
Sure we walk together sometimes but I’m mostly with Nina during the day.
And there is another friend that I bonded with over my love for certain anime’s but I don’t talk to her much either unless she’s in the room with me and close.
AITA?
NTA. Asking for space after your boundaries were ignored is normal, not cruel
Sounds like you’re pretty young. I wouldn’t stress too much about it. It just sounds like you are growing apart, sometimes it happens. It’s no one’s fault but if she wants to give you the cold shoulder just match her energy and slowly start distance yourself.
NTA. This sounds like a kid conflict so I wouldn’t worry about it, and don’t point out that she is jealous. Your friend just needs time to calm down and process their thoughts.
