Ask Lucky: A Silent Sistah

My friend has been giving me the silent treatment. When I asked her about it, she shrugged it off. Then, I got an e-mail from her saying she hates my guts. She was my BFF, and I am shocked! How do I deal?
Sounds like you have no idea what prompted this sudden icy shift. It’s natural to get annoyed with a friend once in a while, but saying you hate someone’s guts is severe and warrants an explanation. At the very least, your friend owes it to you to tell you why she’s saying such hurtful things. Perhaps you unknowingly did something to offend her.
E-mail her and ask her to explain, telling her that if you did something to upset her you would like a chance to work things out. If she was your BFF, she should care enough to at least talk it over. That said, even though you deserve an explanation, you might not get one. Your friend could be going through a weird phase or blaming you for something that’s not your fault, and that could leave you feeling frustrated. You might have to walk away for now, knowing you did everything in your power to get the friendship back on track.
