slightly hurt and puzzled by friends neglect

Met up with a very dear friend from uni this weekend at a festival expecting lots of time to catch up, a nice hug or two etc etc. However, she seemed to almost blank me, it felt like we hardly saw each other, and when i texted her saying where the hell are you her reply was always like "you enjoy your festival, don't worry about me"... She was with another mate from home and they seemed to be joined at the hip, which basically left me alone. As i am disabled she agreed to help us out a bit, as she always so effortlessly does, but instead i was left to rely on her dad and sister.

I know i shouldn't try to rank myself like this, but she has told me that i'm probably her best friend, and part of her grouping of her 3 top top friends on facebook - which the other friend isnt, she is like 10th. However, i just got the feeling that she would happily leave me all day.

Do you think i should leave this? I just want to find out why she acted in such away. If she still thinks that i love her more than as a friend which i may have let her know previously. However, before we left uni it was quite clear that we were back to normal

Puzzled :s-smilie:

It does sound as though she was a bit neglectful, as she left you alone for most of the festival. But you really should talk to her bout it, because the friend she was with could have only been around for that weekend and they needed to catch up more? Seems like she would have told you that though, so talk to her, it's the best way to see if anything is wrong, even if it is the most difficult way...

Sorry if this is slightly offtopic but why do people rank all their friends? it only causes tension and resentment. :s-smilie:

I'll bet she wanted to spend time with her friend from home as she sees you all the time at uni, and it wasn't anything personal. I'd class it as a one off, particularly if she's ok with you the rest of the time.
