Hi everyone! For a little background, my best friend and I have been close friends for about six years, and we are both currently in college. Last week, I posted some photos on social media. Normally, she always reposts, comments, likes my posts, or sends funny GIFs, so when she didn’t interact with them at all, it felt really unusual for our friendship ( I understand if this sounds superficial; however, we have been doing this for years).

At first, I assumed she was just busy with finals. However, I noticed that she had viewed my story but still did not say anything, which made me start overthinking. Part of the reason I became anxious is because about three years ago we had a major falling out that lasted around nine months. At that time, I was not communicating well with her — I would post on social media while not responding to her messages, and it really hurt her feelings. Additionally, she would get upset because I would not reach out frequently. Since we repaired our friendship, I have tried to make a strong effort to communicate consistently by texting or calling every couple of days, especially since we both work and attend school full-time and do not get to see each other often in person.

Because of the change in behavior, I reached out and asked if she was okay or upset with me. When she did not respond, I waited around seven hours before sending another message later that night since she is usually awake late. I still did not hear back, even though I noticed she was active on social media. After waiting another 15 hours, I sent a third message explaining that I was trying to communicate openly and that if she was upset, I wished she would just tell me.

A few hours later, she responded saying that she had been busy working and studying for finals and asked why I thought she was mad at me. I explained that I became anxious because she had viewed my story and usually interacts with my posts, but this time she did not. She seemed irritated by my assumption and said I had no reason to think she was upset. She also mentioned that she had barely been on social media but said she would “take a peek” at my post, which she never ended up doing.

I apologized for overthinking and explained that seeing her view my story without responding made me anxious because of our past issues. However, a few hours later, she posted photos and videos of herself out clubbing with other friends, which left me feeling even more confused about whether something is actually wrong between us or if I am simply overthinking the situation.

At this point, I am unsure if I should reach out again and ask if something is wrong or if I should just give her space.
