Poll: A good friend of yours suddenly decided they're not talking to you anymore. What would you do?

I would go with "I would try asking them why they don't want to talk anymore" however the OP situation would be different options.

I mean I know my good friend long enought that he wouldn't "suddently" stop talking to me unless randomly. It's a very high that that I would of started something bad to bother him in the first place to suddently want to stop being my friend. Either way it will simply lead to just let it be and just give him space (well also apply to me aswell).

None the less my best friend does mean alot to me so it will shatter me if it did ended over something.

Friends? Yeah...I give up. It's just not worth the effort anymore. My brother will always be my best friend, but everyone else are just acquaintances. I've tried. I've found people who share interests with me and I hang out with them, laugh with them, try not to blow them off, and then something ALWAYS happens or it just fizzles out. I'm done.

This actually happened to me back in highschool. This guy said he wasn't going to be friends with me and all our other friends anymore, because God had told him he couldn't.

We all started off reasonable and calm but he kept ignoring us, and even began running away from us when he saw us in the corridor. So after a year of this we all got pissed off and told him what we thought of him. He still isn't talking to us, I honestly think the guy is genuine slime. And I can easily say I wish him the worst. Due to the cowardice and his betrayal of our friendship. We now know he stopped being our friend due to his inability to take banter, we are a weird bunch we all gently tease each other over things like clothes music taste and behaviour, its a little weird and mean but at the end of the day we are all good mates and we're all there for each other. This guy came from an intensely Christian/church orientated background and wasn't able to deal with our sense of humour.

If you have a problem with your friends you need to man/woman up and address them with it. If he had just told us he hated our sense of humour and couldn't hang out with us we wouldn't have had any drama.

I would just not talk to them and get on with my life. If they can be that fickle that they will just break all contact with me without telling me why, then they aren't really worth bothering with in my opinion. I also don't form bonds with people easily, and I would probably be a bit of a hermit if it wasn't for my family dragging me out in the daylight on occasion, as well as a couple of close friends reaching out to me. Mind you, if someone suddenly stopped talking to me then it would probably take me quite a while to notice.
