I'm going to ask space from a best friend so I don't become miserable over her achievements. Am I being selfish?
Do you think that it would be inconvenient with your friend to ask that?
Well, I don't want to start any trouble between us, so I'm really trying to avoid one. What would you do?
Space can also fix a relationship that's crumbling due to loss of individuality, and spending time apart can make your relationship a whole lot healthier. Try to talk to your friend and get on the same page about this in a rational way.
I hope she will understand me and I'm hoping she won't take it badly...
There is only one way to find out. I think asking for space is something that will work out for both of you in the long run.
