When Your Best Friend Misreads Your Heart

I thought we were unbreakable. We’ve been best friends for over a decade — laughed, cried, grown up together. But the other day, she told me something that left a crack I’m not sure how to seal. She said she thinks I look down on her — that I see her as lazy, miserable, and not enough. That I act like I’m prettier, smarter, somehow “better.” It felt like being accused of betraying someone I’ve only ever wanted to lift up. The truth? I admire her resilience. I know how much damage her toxic family has done to her self-worth, and I’ve always tried to remind her of how beautiful and capable she is. But now I wonder if all my attempts to comfort her just made her feel more judged. I didn’t know she was carrying these thoughts. And now... I’m carrying them too. She ended by saying, “I just needed to make sure. I love you.” But now I’m unsure. When someone sees you so differently than you see yourself — can the friendship ever feel the same again? #FriendshipStruggles #GrowingPains #EmotionalDistance #ToxicPositivity #UnspokenFeelings #BestFriendBreakdown #HeartToHeart #WhenItHurts
