💌Toxic Friendship 💌
Dear Boo,
When I was in eighth grade, I had a best friend, let's say her name was Lily*. She was amazing. She was the best friend anyone would ever want.
We both were different in every single way - the only thing through which we connected was books.
While she was the class topper, I was just an average person. She was good at everything, while I wasn't. But, somehow we were the best of friends.
Our classmates would always wonder how the hell we clicked but Idk ... We just did. We had been best friends for five whole years. And she knew everything about me and vice versa.
One day in class (three years ago), she didn't talk to me. Not a word. I was really immature at that time. And she was talking to her ex-best friend, who I totally detested for the only reason that she was my best friend's ex-best friend.
And when school got over, she came back to me to say 'goodbye'. I didn't reply and she knew something was wrong. She promised me that I was her best friend and only I after I told her I was jealous.
I was happy and the next day, we were in the library and she wanted to know why I was jealous yesterday. She knew the reason, she totally knew it. But Idk why she wanted me to tell it. I was a bit of a shy type, so I didn't tell her. And we fought and didn't talk.
We used to fight over really silly things but always got back together in at most a week. A week passed, we avoided each other for the whole week. The next day she was around me and said to me 'we had to talk'. I thought we were finally going to end the whole silent treatment ... But, no.
She told that we couldn't be best friends because we kept fighting. And that we should not be best friends. She also told that we were so different, so we shouldn't be best friends. I couldn't say anything to her. We even shook hands after that to seal the deal that we were not best friends anymore.
She didn't talk to me after that. Maybe a word or two during lunch but other than that, nothing. After she didn't want to be friends with me, after nearly four months - she found another best friend.
I mean, I do have my own best friend - Mia*. Mia is sweet and she's an amazing friend. But there's still this connection that I have with Lily*. I just can't seem to forget her.
She's happy now. Really happy actually.
I don't know what to do. I just seem to hate life. She's really happy now - with a best friend and a boyfriend.
I do like this guy, he's cute and all. And he likes me back. He wants me to be his girlfriend but Idk what to do. He reminds me so much of Lily.
It's been nearly there years since lily* and I stopped talking much and it still hurts when I think about her.
And I can't seem to get rid of my trust issues or Lily* my best friend.
Please help me out Boo.

Dear Nadia*,
Hi, dear, thanks for writing to me, the support means a lot. I hope things are going well for you and your situation. As usual, I will go through your letter from beginning to end.
One thing I noticed right away (within three paragraphs) is that you seem to put yourself down. That makes me wonder, why do you think so lowly of yourself?
You weren't immature for feeling how you did. Someone was trying to take Lily* away from you, or so it seemed. Being jealous is very understandable! Lily* was someone you shared your deepest secrets with, so when the other girl came around your mind thought negative.
I think Lily* wanted to actually hear why you were upset and hurt. Sometimes people need validation from others to feel needed or wanted. When she told you that y'all couldn't be friends anymore, how did that make you feel? Lily* may have had someone (like the ex bff) telling her that your friendship was toxic because of the arguments, and she believed them. Only she knows the main reason why she walked away.
It's normal to be best friends with Mia* and still care about Lily*. You seem to have a big, beautiful heart, so caring/loving for someone is normal even if they aren't part of your life anymore. Lily* was a part of your life for many years, so it's understandable why you still care.
If you compare everyone to Lily* or reject anyone who reminds you of her, then you won't move past this. If there is a guy who likes you, and you like him back, then talk to him and maybe date him. Don't think, "well, he's like Lily* so he's gonna hurt me". Think of him as his own person, it's not fair for him to be compared to someone who hurt you. I know it's hard to think about, but not everyone is cold-hearted or will hurt you as she did. Don't let the toxic friendship with Lily* determine how you feel about other people. Try not to make anyone else pay for her mistake.
Normally, I would tell people to focus on the positive, but I want you to focus on the negative feelings that came with Lily*. Think of the hurt and pain she caused you. You don't deserve that, so remember that when you miss her. You deserve better than this! True friends don't hurt the ones they care about.
Start spending time with Mia*, the potential new boyfriend, and other friends. Don't let the memory of Lily* weigh you down.
When you think of Lily*, make your mind think of something else until she's not on your mind anymore. Try keeping a journal and write down your feelings and emotions. You don't deserve to be put to the side like a toy. Letting go is the first step of moving on.
I really hope things get better for you. Keep your mind busy, so you won't be overwhelmed with negative thoughts. You *can" get past this and be happy. Reaching out about this is a huge step! I absolutely believe in you, I know you can do this. Anytime you need help, just pm me and I'll be there.
Love Always,
Boo
