i don’t really need advice yet, it’s just a question. a girl im friends with acts really odd. we are friends, and we used to talk a lot, but then she started getting quieter, making less eye contact.
she also started being tenser/snippy at times.
when she’s not snippy, she’s just very quiet, which is most of the time. sometimes she’ll scoot over next to me but then scoot away, or act like she wants to sit by me but then goes away.
she doesn’t seem to be acting rude at all or mad at me. she will be nice, like smiling and waving and saying “hello”, or energetic when she can respond over text, so i don’t believe i’ve done anything to hurt her, but it’s just been really odd. what, from your experience, make a friend start acting this way? (especially girl because idk about guy friend behaviors)
most of the time, she acts normal, and i appreciate our friendship, and she seems to not hate me or anything like i said
What is up with all these personal questions lately?
I don’t wanna sound cliché, but go touch some grass. Don’t you all have IRL friends to ask in place of internet randos (such as myself) who know jack shit about your life?
makes sense
Just my two cents: maybe give her some space, leave her alone for a week or two, while checking in every few days. Also, do you have mutual friends?
Growing up in the late 80s, early 90s, I would have loved to ask strangers a question so I wouldn’t have to worry about them asking me for a follow up later! That’s what those advice columns were for!
That’s fair, just that there’s too many of these lately. But I guess we’re not big enough to want to have specific community for personal advice.
