So pretty much what happened was my best friend of a year and a half, just stopped talking to me about 2 months ago. She never gave me a reason, she just dropped out of contact, didn't even bother to finish the conversation. About a month later she told me that she didn't really want to be friends anymore.
It's pretty much just been a giant 'fuck you' right to my face!
Yeah i know that she's probably got stuff going on but the least she could have done is tell me why she left!
Now I literally have no one I can go to to vent to, or talk to about stuff I've got going on. I've been feeling pretty lonely lately.
Any advice on what to do?

Has your friend been upset with you for awhile?
Not all people get aggressive when they're upset. Some will talk to you calmly and clearly about something you did, but if you fail to hear exactly what they're saying, or you keep doing the same thing over and over, they may move on with a complete shut out rather than announcing you're officially over as friends.
Like me with my friend in the past, I get so lost and hurt when a friend of mine shuts me out, reason being is that I either genuinely don't know what I did, or I lack the ability to fully self-reflect.
If you really believe that there were no issues in your relationship... maybe you did nothing wrong, then perhaps the issue is with your friend, and it's just something they are going through.
If you can't get a response out of your friend but would consider talking to them or at least send a message to them at some point, send them a note and let them know you care about them and will leave the door open for them. You can say something like:
"I'm not sure what's going on, but it appears that you're not speaking with me. If at some point you'd like to talk I'm open to that. I'll be here."
But, if you're angry with your friend and hope they contact you just so you can blast them with ("Why did you blow me off?" "What did I ever do to you?") might likely they'll block you out again and just move on for good. There was a reason they shut you out, and until you know what that is, you can't jump to conclusions and get angry. Forgive them for ending the friendship this way and move on.
There will always be a time to make new friends, don't let it bother you or bring you down. Continue you on, and if anything, I'm here to PM.

Well, I'm afraid to say people do tend to change and do this kind of stuff. Maybe something happened to her. Maybe you can try to ask her what happened that made her stop talking to you. If she's not willing to talk to you maybe you should just try to give it some time.
I really hope you won't loose your friend, just try to talk to her, as I said before and this may be a bit painfull, but people tend to change, we all do, and sometimes change means ignoring your old friends.
If she really won't talk to you anymore, I suggest giving it some time and if that doesn't work, maybe leave her be.
If you need someone to talk to feel free to contact me.

Thanks guys, I think I'm Just gonna have to talk to her and ask her what happened instead of being angry. I hope she can forgive me for being angry, and Ill do my best to understand and to forgive her. I guess people do change, and its not there fault, its just something we need to accept hey.

Great news Damon! You do have a place to vcent and talk! Right here! :) Trust me, if you ever have ANYTHING on your mind, or just want to start a conversation, VT is the perfect place.
And about your friend leaving, something you'll learn, or may already have, is that friends, even super close ones, your "BFF" so to say, wont stay forever, it's human nature, people change, grow and develop and don't stay the same. But that doesnt sound loike whats going on here.
The chances are she has someting going on in her life thats very important, it may be an idea to give her a little room and come back ina few weeks with a gentle Hi, and just see if you can fix things. But my advice, would be to give her a little room for now.
