what is a true friend? 

i always thought it was someone you trusted and could see all your emotions. whether, most commonly happiness or excitement, i thought it could be sadness too. i thought friendship meant supporting each other. that you'd communicate, and support each other. i don't know anymore. my father says i'm too emotional and people eventually put up with me and then get sick of me, and that's why people i care about are leaving me.

i mean, my best friend randomly betrayed me. she spread rumors to the whole school and said false things. i dont know why. i never really got to speak to her because i had to leave the last few weeks at the school at the time for an emergency. she refused to speak to me. we had it great.. we'd be there for the best and worst of each other. we'd sleepover and laugh and get ready for the school dance. i don't know what it was. and now my best friend started going to public school after being homeschooled. suddenly all she cares about is popularity. for photos and blogging and getting likes and follows. i used to be her best friend, her only best friend. she thought having more than one best friend (i agree) isn't really a *best* friend. and suddenly she was saying she had 2. she was more worried about her new talking stage and bsf to want to spend time with me anymore without adding them to the call. i tried expressing with her how i felt in a less-serious way. more indirect like "i miss it being us" or "why do you always have to add name or name to the call? why can't we just call?". Anyway, we haven't talked in like 2 weeks.

Maybe I missed something, but i feel like maybe a friend isn't what i thought it was at all.
