Reconnecting with old friends - advice please!
Me and my old bestie went are separate ways about 6 years ago and haven’t spoken since. We had a fall out but cleared the air at the time but just haven’t spoken since.
I really want to reconnect with her as I miss having a best friend but I’m afraid of reaching out and being rejected, especially as it looks like she’s moved on with her life and having fun (going by her social media page). Even when we stopped talking, our mutual friends cut me off too which was weird but that’s a separate story.
I’m worried of looking desperate but could really do with a friend as I struggle making new ones. I wouldn’t even know what to say to her initially. Should I reach out to her or just try to move on?

Part of me thinks it’s best I move on too but I miss having that friend that knows me who I could’ve spoken to about anything. I’ve been struggling to make friends ever since. It kind of feels like a breakup in a way 😅
It's absolutely a breakup and can hurt more than breaking up with a romantic partner. It sucks, it's sad and it's something you actually have to mourn
I think you should try to reach out. I did (eventually) and we actually talk now. Not regularly but every so often one of us will message and see how the others doing and stuff. I hadn’t seen her in about 10 years and I randomly messaged asking if she wanted to go on a night out and she said yeah 🤷♀️ now she’ll message asking how me and baby are and stuff

Honestly, I was in a similar same boat. My "bff" ghosted me and I haven't seen her since my wedding 5 years ago. Only you know what is best for you and your child, but I would suggest moving on. If she's supposed to be in your life, the universe will guide her back to you.
