Me and my online best friend are drifting.

As the title says me and my Online best friend let’s call her (Mia) have started to drift. We started being friends about 2 ish years ago. We got close pretty quickly over only a few months of knowing each other and by 10 months we were best friends. She has always been one of my best friends ever since I met her and my only lasting online friendship.

I will admit when we first met I was distant but despite that she still texted me everyday. Now this is gonna sound stupid but she has changed. Not just like 2 year difference change like completely different person change. The girl I met was an awkward yet funny, charming and kind person. Now she’s more outgoing. Not that it’s a bad thing I’ve accepted that and I’m so proud of her.

It just feels as I am left in the shadows. I catch myself on multiple occasions not recognizing her like at all. When I look at her I see a stranger not my best friend Mia. I feel guilty but honestly I miss the old her.

We use to spend hours together playing games. Eventually over the summer she gained a new personality and a whole new look and she completely changed. I am glad she found her confidence but at the same time I might be a little selfish but I wish I could be apart of her new life.

We still send each other videos acting like nothing has changed but it has. Everything has changed at least for me.

I talked to her before but nothing came of it. I honestly miss my best friend and I just need honesty on how I should handle this situation.
