I don’t know whos right or wrong and this has been many years so I’m looking for outside opinions.
around 15 years ago , I had a best friend all through elementary and the beginning of highschool. We were like sisters. There had never been any problems until in grade 7 a new girl showed up. For some reason she took an immediate liking to her , but she started to completely ignore me after that. I tried to be friends with this new girl too but for some reason we didn’t get along. I’m not sure why as I never did anything but maybe it was just because I was socially awkward. Anyways, I spent about 2 1/2 years being a third wheel. She just suddenly stopped caring about me and I felt desperate for her love for a long time until eventually that started to burn out too. I was invisible to her. So I decided to stop being friends. I just walked up to her one day and said “I’m done” and walked away. All she said was “ok.” I had thought that if she had any care left for me she would have at least asked me why. But she never did.
Just recently (about 15 years later) I messaged her asking why she abandoned me. She is telling me she had no idea I was being third wheeled or mistreated. And that she had no idea why I stopped being her friend. She said she was devastated and missed me. But yet she never sent me a single text? She never tried to talk to me. She did offer to walk home with me after school but at the time I thought that meant “you’re only worth a 5 minute walk home but I don’t want to see you the rest of the time.” I’m confused and old wounds have reopened. I understand we were still kids when this had happened and our brains weren’t fully developed.
