Is my friend mad at me?

Question

My best friend and I are super close, and we talk almost everyday, but we don't get to see each other that much because we go to different high schools. This has had it's share of advantages and disadvantages.

See, she takes classes from her computer, and I go to an actual high school, so I socialize a lot with tons of other people my age and I've been made tons of new friends.

So anyway, my friend and I were going to go shopping on Friday night, and I said I would go, but then she said that she couldn't go because she had to go somewhere with her parents. And then someone asked me if I wanted to go to my high school's opening football game which is also on Friday night.

So since my plans were wide open, I decided to make plans with my other friends to go to the football game.

Well, then earlier tonight my best friend tells me that she can go shopping now, and I told her that I already made plans.

I told her I didn't want to make her feel ditched or bad or anything, but she's still acting like she's ticked off at me.

I told her we could go another time, but she was like, "Yeah, okay, sure." She sounded mad and annoyed that I couldn't go.

I really don't want to lose my best friend, but I'm not going to ditch my other friends. What can I do?

Answer 1

dont tell your friend that the football game is the same time. just tell her that it is at what ever time and then say that you could go shopping after or before that. it does sound like she is mad at you but you really didnt do anything wrong!

Answer 2

She sounds mad, but she really has no reason to be mad.

she needs to realize that school has many diversions, many new things to see and do.  

If she gets cool and distant, just talk to her.

Tell her that you value her friendship.  You know that she doesn't have a large social life.  Suggest that she come to more activities with you at school.  It should enlarge both your circles.

If she won't, she sure has a lot of growing up to do.

Good Luck.

Answer 3

She needs to get a life outside of you.  If you two don't start being friends with others it is going to be a problem when you start dating.  I hope everything turns out well.

Answer 4

i dont think shes mad at u...shes probably worried that since ur makin new friends or watever u wont have time for her no more.....so jus explain to her that she will always be your best friend and that no matter wat happens youll always be friends and blah blah blah things lik that

Answer 5

nothing to worry about. let destiny decide. this things happen to friends all the time. give her a few days or a week to miss you

Answer 6

well maybe its time to lose some and gain some friends.

Answer 7

i get where shes coming from.

shes not mad at you, she just feels like an outsider and is a bit upset that she doesnt have as many friends like you.

why dont you invite her to the game next time?

include her in, thats all she wants.
