I'm going to do my best not to sound like a whiny brat, but I really would love to hear some advice about being a good friend to someone.
This situation with a particular friend of mine revolves around my belief that she is far less invested in our friendship than I am. I know that some people have different ways of showing others that they care, but I also am aware that this person has done very little to show/tell me that I matter to her. I'm starting to feel taken for granted...perhaps because we've known each other for so long.
Often times I find that I'm constantly the one that's reaching out to her to talk or meet up, and so many times it feels like we have a one-sided friendship. I want to give her the benefit of the doubt - we've been friends for 12+ years - but it's starting to weigh heavily on my heart that she doesn't really care.
You might say that I should talk to her about how I'm feeling, but believe me we have had that conversation many times, and it hasn't really changed anything. I would gladly welcome any advice you might offer or a prayer for God's guidance in this situation. Thank you, and God bless!
