Punishment

[Lyrad]

I have a very good friend that help me go through tough times when I break down but now he is ignoring me, then no matter how many times I try to talk to him he brush me off, when I ask if he is angry at me he said it is not my fault but he want to be alone but he is talking to everyone, playing with everyone but just won't talk or play with me anymore, until everytime I failed to interact with him I'll cut myself, each failure will get one cut, I punish myself for not being a good friend even when I don't even know the reason.
What should I do.

Just stop cutting yourself please. It ISN'T your fault. You should just approch him and be serious and say you want to talk. Tll him you are getting upset and you want to know whats wrong.
Thats all the advice I have, sorry.

Hold on; you have no idea why he is acting strange. So long as you're not aware of anything for which he can be reasonably resentful towards you for, your self-punishment is thoroughly unjustified. It's difficult not to take things like this personally, I know - but sometimes strange things happen, and chances are, he has his own reasons. I personally had to cut someone off like that some time ago, very much out of the blue - it wasn't anything they had done, and the reason behind the decision was nothing short of an absurdity that I never openly discussed, but it seemed as if there was no other choice at the time.

In all seriousness, try to confront him somehow and urge him to speak his mind. Send a message online even, if he's been successful at evading all real-life attempts to contact thus far. If he says it is not up for discussion, however, the most sensible course of action is to accept and move on - it would make life easier for both of you. Of course, there's always a chance that he might come back and apologize after whatever is going on has been sorted, but don't dwell on that hope too much.

People walk in and out of our lives, according to the rhythm of nature. When it's time for one to go, let them go - grief not for the loss, but rather the times once shared, and in the empty spaces which they left behind, look forward to the possibility of new meaningful encounters. You cannot change another's mind - only your own.

All the best to you. :hug3:

hey, its okay x my friend was sort of like that but i think she was having a tough time alswell. Maybe your friend is also like that. Talk to him and let him know how you feel but do so in private and when he seems to be in a good mood. Its not your fault that he wont talk to you, remember that even though you probably dont beleive it
hope its nothing bad xx

your not a bad friend. your a perfectly good one. it's not your fault.
he probably just needs a break, looking out for a friend all the time can become quite draining, as i know all too well.
he should start to talk to you again sometime soon, he said hiself it wasn't your fault.
he's probably just trying to clear his head.
you have nothing to punish yourself for hun. so stop it. your just causing future damage to yourself that doesnt need causing.
good luck.
