That depends, have you tried talking to her about how you feel? She may have been going through something as well, without you even knowing it. We tend to get lost in our own problems and sometimes it’s hard to keep up with the ones you love most when we feel beaten down ourselves. You have to ask yourself, is this friendship worth the fight? If your friend has been being a bad friend to you for some time now, she probably isn’t really a friend, but you don’t have to disregard her for the sake of proving a point. I think talking things out, mostly when it comes to someone who meant a lot to you, at least gives both of you a sense of closure. But you never know, it could have been a misunderstanding or she could not even realize you ever needed her or were angry with her to begin with. I’m going through something similar, and trust me, informing her of the way you feel is a lot better approach than leaving someone you once considered your best friend in the dark. There is nothing wrong with attempting to save a friendship, mostly one that brought you happiness.
