My childhood best friends of 15+ years completely iced me out and ignored my achievements.
i just need to get this off my chest because the silence is incredibly heavy right now. I've been best friends with these two since we were 4 years old, we basically grew up together and i am 20+ rn .
Recently, I hit a massive, hard-earned milestone in my career that I've been working toward for a whole year. Neither of them bothered to congratulate me at all. One only said 'okay', and the other didn't even bother. Meanwhile, when they completed their exams i wished them and congratulated them, In fact I even congratulated one of them for her internship. But these both just chose to ignore my achievements, no msgs no calls nothing while posting stories and snaps.
To make it worse, one of them told me weeks ago that she was 'disappointed' in me about something, but she did not tell me what it was and said i'll tell you after my exams on a specific date. That date passed months ago and she never reached out. I once called her but she didnt pick up, and 2mins later she sent me a snap of her home when i was literally just near her house like 5mins ago. Whenever i ask her she doesn't have time or money, but with others she has everything and she's all over social media roaming around, having fun, and going on road trips with her other friends and her boyfriend.
I've finally stopped texting and calling because why is it always me texting and calling but never them? If she is all day home, cant she just text me? I am sick of chasing these both girlies as they never ever take a step or put any efforts towards me. But losing 16 years of friendship hurts like hell, and the loneliness out here is just really hard to deal with right now.
They were my only friends and that's what makes me more sad.
TL;DR: Hit a major milestone after a year of hard work, and my childhood friends of 16 years completely ignored it. One of them is freezing me out over an unknown issue she refuses to talk about, claiming she has "no time or money," while constantly going on road trips with other people. I stopped chasing them, but the sudden loneliness hurts like hell.
