How Do I Deal With My Best Friend Who Is Changing A Lot?

Dear Katie,
My best friend and I have always been close, but lately she’s changed a lot.

Dear Jessica,
The funny thing about change, is no one really likes it. It is hard to accept change when it happens, even when it is for the good! We tend to resist any type of change in our lives and the lives around us, especially the people that we are closest to. So the fact that you best friend is changing, it is natural for you to feel some type of resistance. It is more comfortable for you if your friend stays exactly the same forever!
But the truth is, nothing and nobody stays the same. We all change and you have to allow your friend the room to change and accept her choices. She is trying to find herself just like you are trying to find yourself. You will also change and wont be the way you are now forever.
So wouldn’t you want your friends to accept you and embrace your changes when they happen? Be a best friend to her and help show her that you will always be her friend and accept her changes and that you love her no matter what!
