Ranting here about my friend of 4 yrs
Ok so we have like a trio, I have this one friend, let's name her "bee", I would say she is avoidant, because there's this one time that we were just reviewing for an exam, we were doing like q&a with the other friend and I've asked bee if she wants to join, she then said she don't want to, we then respect her decision about that, then
a few minutes after she suddenly went quiet and being cold to us, and if other people approached her she would smile but when it comes to us she is like cold and poker face, we just let her like that because maybe she needs space or something. After a few hours she would come up to us and acts like nothing happened. Then there's this one time where I am chatting with someone and she asked me a question but I am still talking to the other person, I said wait I will answer her question first because she is the first one to ask me, after that I talked to bee what is she saying earlier, she then began to ignore me. After school she is still ignoring me, I said sorry I can't answer her question at that moment. I've become annoyed because she is talking to our other friend and kept ignoring me so I said whats the problem, she then acts like she don't care. Bruh I understand that people needs space and self time but I don't know what to do, this is always happening and all I do is understand and be patient with her. Sorry for the bad english, it's not my first language.

Text them “hey i feel like youve been cold and i dont want cause misunderstandings or drama can we talk about it?”
I wish it was that easy! she is very kind I would say but sometimes this attitude of her makes me so annoyed, and also I've tried to confront/talk to her about this but she just kept brushing me off or just not listening at all.
idk tho i might be wrong but it seems like she wants attention from you and maybe wants you to act a little desperate for her but it's not right, i'm just guessing cuz i see my younger self in her. it's best to try to get her attention and talk to her abt what's going on. it's just a hunch but since you mentioned she's a friend of 4 years she probably felt left out by you in the trio, especially if the other person in the trio is someone you've known less than you've known bee, it's immature ofc but it might be built up frustration and jealousy that led her to act like that. btw your english isn't bad i hope you get what i'm saying tho!!
Thank you for this! Bee is a very good friend of mine and she is very kind. I would say I think I am very attentive to my friends and if ever I felt like one is left out I really try my best to not make them feel that way! But sometimes bee is making a solvable issue a bigger one and gives us the silent treatments
+ this attitude of her annoys me something because instead of telling us the problem she just kept shutting us off
