I confessed to my best guy friend and I got rejected. Since then, he has been ghosting me and avoiding me and it really breaks my heart knowing that I lost my best friend in the process. I am okay with the rejection but not okay with how I lost my friend. I used to tell him everything that's going on in my life and we used to text everyday but now I feel like there's a void.
But he seems like he's not affected at all. He acts like he doesn't care. But I found out that when I was sick, he asked our mutual friends about me and how I was doing. He never approached me directly. And he also noticed WHEN I actually started being sick even though all my other friends who had been talking to me did not even notice I was sick until I had to take medical leave.
According to my friends, he also tends to bring me up whenever I'm not around. Like if he hangs out with my friends at the pool and I didn't feel up to it, he would mention me saying I should be there with them.
But it's really confusing because he doesn't talk to me and he acts like he doesn't care about me at all when we are face to face. When I try to talk to him, he replies coldly. But here he is asking my friends whether I'm stressed with work and asking how I'm doing behind my back.
I want to try to approach him and talk to him normally again but with all these mixed signals, I don't know what to do. Does he actually miss me as much as I miss him? Should I keep up with the no contact rule?
