Friend advice!

Hey guys, I’m really new to this website and this story probably isn’t very exciting. But I have no where else to talk about this so I was hoping someone could provide insight or a different perspective.

I am a female college freshman and I had a friend first semester that I was super close with. We hung out all the time, got dinner together, texted and sent each other videos, etc. Every time we would see each other, she would hug me and we would be able to talk for hours. We were super close and we talked about literally everything together. Also, my friends this that this one instance is relevant so I’ll mention it but I don’t really think so. During a halloween party, I was drunk and I confessed to her that I felt really ugly (what 18 year old woman doesnt feel this way?) and she said “No, you’re actually so pretty. If you weren’t straight…” and then she didn’t finish her sentence. I was drunk and I know she probably drank too so I really don’t think that’s important. People say stuff they don‘t mean all the time when they’re intoxicated lol.

Since we live in the same hometown, I texted her over winter break asking if she wanted to come over and bake and watch a movie. A few hours later I wasn’t concerned. Shes probably just busy, afterall. But then hours turned into days and it had been 2 weeks since I sent the text. I texted her again, still no response.

I texted her a month after the first text. That was back in January and she still hasn’t answered me. So of course, I was extremely worried that I had done something to offend her. But if I did, wouldn’t she unfollow me on social media? Wouldn’t she stop sharing her location? And when I saw her again on campus, she smiled and waved at me? That interaction made me feel so sad because I missed her friendship so much.

I am honestly so confused about this. Of course as a now adult, I have experienced a few friendships that have fell apart throughout my life. But there was always a clear problem in the relationship in those instances. I don’t think she hates me, but then why would see pretend like I don’t exist?

Again this is probably not exciting to read so I apologize. This is also super long so I don’t really expect anyone to read or respond but it’s nice to type everything out. But if you feel like it, please help me figure this out. I know this might come off as selfish but I honestly miss her so much as a friend in my life. She was so wonderful to be around and she was one of the only people I could hold a genuine conversation with for hours. And it’s so hard to make friends in college lol😭 Thank you for reading ok have a good night everyone 🙏
