Questions

Have you ever had one of those days or weeks where you're just questioning those relationships that you have with people? Whether you're questioning their character, them as a person, or just as simple as where you stand with each other. Did this distance come gradually, or did it happen overnight? Is it just me or do they feel the distance as well? Did I do something wrong? Am I just overreacting and reading too much into the situation? Or is there really a problem that needs to be fixed? These are all questions that we ask ourselves one in this type of situation.

You don't know if you should talk to the person about it because there could be a few outcomes, some of them you might not want to face. Either you're the only one that feels this distance, or there really is a problem. Or it can go south and the person totally overreacts and takes it out of context. When you're at these crossroads what do you do? At some point you actually have to talk to the person to figure out what's wrong to even see if it can be fixed or if it's just a misunderstanding. You have to be ready for the fact that there is a chance that you might lose this person as a friend. At that point what do you do?

If the person is truly a friend they will understand how you're feeling and help fix the situation. And those are the people that you need in your life. If it comes out to be the person either overreacts or  "You did something wrong" or the person just doesn't want to take the time to fix whatever the problem is, those are the type of people you don't want to your life and it's better to realize it now versus years from now.

How do you bring it up to the person? That's easy, honesty is the best policy. Well actually it's not that easy, at least it doesn't feel that easy. So it's only natural to feel scared or concerned. You might even feel like it's easier to not say anything and keep it balled up. Well it's not that easy, it eats you up and messes with your mind. It makes you so uneasy. So it's better for your mental state to let it off your chest.
