My friend blocked me when I asked her is she's sick after seeing her abnormal weight loss.

Love & Relationships

Problem/goal: Not sure what flair to use and had to use a throwaway for this one since my friends know my main account lol. My friend of 5 years blocked me on socmed because I asked her "Are you sick? You're so pale and thin na. Pacheck ka na kaya?". I need an advice on how to navigate this. Should I reach out or should i just let things be?

Context: I have this friend who lives alone in another town kaya lagi ko siya kinukumusta lalo ngayong flu season. Knowing how workaholic she is, I often message her to remind her to eat, drink her vitamins, etc. Medyo may soft spot ako sa kanya kasi I see her as a little sister kahit same age lang kami since malayo talaga siya sa family niya.

Last week, I was in her town for work kaya I invited her to meet for coffee pero sabi niya hindi niya kaya kasi masakit ang ulo niya. So I volunteered to go to her place na lang nung Sunday before ako lumuwas pauwi. I bought food and fruits kasi sabi niya baka dehydrated lang siya.

When I got to her place, grabe sobra akong nagulat kasi ang laki ng ipinayat niya! Parang nangalahati yung weight niya since the last time I saw her eh around a month ago lang yun. Sobra akong nagworry kaya after greeting each other, I said, "Are you sick? You're so pale and thin na. Pacheck ka na kaya? Sasamahan kita I can take a day off. " She said she's fine and pagod lang raw siya. I'm sure she's not kasi ang OA talaga ng weight loss niya im not exaggerating pero I let it go na lang and tumambay na lang ako for a while before going home. So nagchat ulit ako sa kanya when I got home to remind her to rest rin kasi I'm really worried.

Then kanina, I needed to ask her something and kukumustahin ko na rin siya since hindi siya nagreply since Sunday. Hala blocked ako?? Gulat ako kasi bakit? Hahahahahaha. So I asked our close friend and apparently, she's mad raw because I "body shamed" her kasi hindi naman raw siya sick. Siyempre nagulat ako kasi that wasn't my intention. Pero I get why she might think that kasi baka harsh delivery ko? I'm not sure.

I'm ready to apologize naman pero I've just found out na ang dami niya palang sinabihan na friends namin na I triggered her body dysmorphia raw and that was the " last straw" of our friendship. Napa HUHHHHHH ako kasi wtf? Ang dami niya palang problems sa'kin but never niya sinabi. Now I'm being painted as this body shaming friend eh concerned lang ako sa kanya. Pero yung concern and worry nagsstart nang maging hurt, annoyance, and galit. Alam kong sensitive siya pero clear naman na health niya yung concern ko. Literally malapit na siyang maging skin and bones tapos ang pale and dry niya. Idk anymore.

Previous attempts: I tried calling her pero no answer. Even sa telegram and Viber. Sobrang hurt ako sa situation na to and while I know I might have came across as harsh, I think the half a decade of friendship should've been enough for her to know na I'm not coming from a place of malice. I am especially hurt kasi may secret galit pala siya sakin through the years na now lang nalabas one by one eh sobrang open namab namin (or so i thought) sa each other. That's all.
