Friend (26F) stopped calling and messaging me (26M)
This girl is just my friend, however there were many times in the past year where she was there for me when I was feeling down, and would say "I love you, I love you" on the phone to me. We never dated or kissed, but I have known her since she was 5 years old. A year ago, we spoke on the phone and I asked her how she was doing, she sounded completely find and normal on the phone, but said to me, without skipping a beat, "I have clinical depression." which took me by surprise, she also said she had financial problems and said that she had to borrow money for the first time. Also, within that year, she got a new boyfriend who I could tell was controlling, as the last time me and her hung out her boyfriend would not stop texting her asking who she was with and why she was with me. She looked nervous when he texted her. Now, since October 2025, have not heard from her...I cannot recall upsetting her in any way. She does sometimes turn quiet but never blames it on me. I have wished her a happy new year, called her a couple of times, and messaged her "hope all is well with you" to no response. She is clearly still on her instagram as she still posts, clearly gets my imessage as it says "delivered" but does not respond back. It does hurt, I have always been very kind to her and would never treat her badly, yet now I do not hear from her anymore. She did not reach out even to wish me happy birthday, which she generally does. I am trying to figure out what is going on, based on this information, can I anyone give me a hint as to what is happening? Is she upset? Is she ghosting me for some reason? I would appreciate any opinions. Should I wish her a happy birthday in 2 weeks or leave her alone? Any opinions would help. TL;DR
