My best friend told me. He wanted a break from hanging out. Is it okay to be sad?

You need permission to feel sad?

k

Of course it is

Yes, I would feel pretty sad and horrible if my best friend told me that.

Yes, it is logical for you to be sad. You may not know what is going on with them, or what issues are troubling them, so just be supportive by being silent and not texting or calling them. Let them reach back out when they are ready.

if u think that you feel sad for your friend then OK,it's just depends on you

its okay to be sad but its not ok to be depressed, never get yourself to a point in your life where your friends or friend is your only source of happiness, in this life people change as fast as the weather as cliche as thatsounds, take the time in your life to be your own bestfriend because you will be with yourself to the end

Of course it is. You can't exactly help how you feel. You can always tell yourself that you shouldn't be sad, he probably has his reasons etc, but what you feel at the moment, you should never reject it. No one can tell you how and what to feel, not even yourself.

Of course, that doesn't mean that you should brood on it. He's your best friend, and ultimately a different human being from you. No matter how similar your interests are, he has his own set of needs and that sometimes includes time alone. Maybe he's going through something that he wants to handle on his own, or just that doing the same thing all the time (ie hanging out with you) wears his down and he wants to meet other people. Either way, have faith in the fact that this friendship was built on years of understanding and commitment and that it will not break easily, so you should have little reason to worry.

Try not to be too down. Tell him he can confide in you anytime and that you're there for him. Best friends don't need to hang out all the time. They just need to support each other. Distance makes the heart grow fonder!!

Yes, that's normal.

yes it is.

Any feeling that you feel is okay. Just fully feel it and that way you can move past it.
