suddenly lost my best friends, Was I the victim of a bad friend?

I (29m) will admit my emotions are very raw right now because it just happened and I'm feeling very devastated, but I need to know if I am in the right for feeling the way I am

I just got a text message from a friend (23m) of 3 years saying they wanted to end our friendship, not elaborating just saying "I've changed, I'm just not enjoying the friendship anymore" and that was in reply to me asking if he wanted to join me for my birthday next week

Me and this guy have been pretty good friends, at least from my perspective, for many years now. He's very charismatic, he's fun, he's incredibly social (versus my social anxiety autism), he's very humorous, and everywhere he goes he's able to make new friends. Throughout our friendship We got into sports together, we got each other into our biking hobbies, we found fun little obsessions to get together with, he's seen me at some of my worst and helped me through it and I've done the same to him, I felt like we were really good friends

We're both in college at the moment and I will admit that I haven't talked to him much this last semester because I've been busy and so has he so I don't have a lot of reference to go off of, but about 2 months ago I asked him if he could help me out with one of my projects and he said sure, project ended up going fine he didn't tell me or signal to me that he was upset or angry in any way just interacted with me like normal

But now suddenly, he's telling me he doesn't want to be friends anymore. He's not elaborating on why that is just saying "I've changed, I don't enjoy the friendship anymore"

I'm going to admit my emotions are incredibly raw at the moment, I struggle with maintaining friendships and I suffer from a lot of anxiety and PTSD from it but he didn't tell me that he was upset or angry, this just feels incredibly sudden

im kinda realizing suddenly who does that? i thought this guy was my friend and not some new one we've known each other for awhile now. was he just a bad friend all along?

(ill put the exact words of his text in the first comment)

I'm getting some crazy mixed body language signals, am I just going crazy?

im looking for somw women input, I've got a really close friend who I am clearly interested in, and I'm pretty sure she knows it (shes 20) and over the course of the last year man I've been getting some weird mixed signals from her

I'll try to keep it brief, last fall she was all over me, she was holding my hand, she was cuddling with me on the couch, even kissed me a couple times and flashed me and it was wonderful. I asked if she wanted to be boyfriend girlfriend and she declined, but then kept doing it (i wont get into details but she had an actual very legit reason to turn me down) but then she got jealous when she found out i was fwb with another girl

Then at the beginning of this year suddenly she started putting up a lot of walls, while she still would cuddle with me on the couch suddenly I feel like there was a wall up and she was no longer doing some of the same stuff she used to... But every now and again that wall comes down when we spend extended time together and she gets flirty again, but then over text she gets incredibly distant and takes forever to reply, or drags out making plans together (but then when I take a step back suddenly she's much more enthusiastic)

To give you a good example of this just a few days ago she came over to my apartment and we had a really wonderful time and by the end of that time she was pretty much just placing my hand on her breast, and laughing when I would jokingly poke her boob. She was cuddling with me, she was stroking my hair, it felt really great.... But then she ghosted me for the next 4 days (I will admit she has ADHD issues and when I asked her why she was doing that she became very responsive and happy in texts, only to go back to nothing)

The mixed signals are getting really annoying, am i nuts for feeling this way? I don't think she's using me on purpose and It feels like she both simultaneously likes me a lot, and when we spend time together she's into me, but then over text message it's a battle to get her to reply. this is getting incredibly annoying and I feel like I'm going nuts trying to figure out what's going through her head

Apple silicone native?

I noticed that metal was working on an Apple silicone native version, but there's been no updates on the project since last June was it abandoned?

And how does that differ from the Mac version that's already available?

It's been over a year since I ended things with someone who used and discarded me, is it normal to still feel this broken?

I'll try to Cliff notes to the background information as best I can, it's a long story

Long story short there was a girl that I met in college about 7 years ago, and the whole time we had this will they won't they relationship where we would flirt around a lot, she would tell me how much she liked me and how important I was to her, and then literally on a whim she would start dating somebody else and completely discard me, and then when that didn't work out she would come back and again flirt with me and tell me how amazing I was, then rinse and repeat for years and years

Fast forward to summer of 2024 me and her finally started actually dating and it was Rocky a little bit but we kind of made it work, then I went on a trip to Germany and when I came home she was dating her ex again

Wish it would end there, but I decided a couple months later give her one last chance where she slept with me, told me she didn't want to share with anyone, then dipped again when she started dating the guy she told me not to worry about. After that I cut her out of my life

It's been over a year since I completely cut her out of my life but I still can't help but feel completely worthless and broken inside. I can reasonably look back and realize she was just using me as a relationship bookmark, but inside internally I feel like there's something wrong with me, like somehow I fucked up or that I'm never going to be truly loved

Is this normal? Am I just being oversensitive? Other people who have dealt with similar situations I'd love to hear your input

im from the midwest (wisconsin), never been to one in the states but have been to one in germany

decided to shits and giggles to check it out while visiting family in new jersey/philly area... wow! i love aldi but this was really great, the fresh bread stand was cheap and great, other items looked great and cheap as well (ended up getting some pork rolls that were enjoyable, as well as some tikka curry seasoning)

hopefully we can start getting this chain in Madison cause i would definitely be a loyal customer
