I feel like my best friend doesn't care about me she is always making excuses like the other day I asked what she was doing that day and she said nothing so I asked if she wanted to hang out and she said she was busy, today she said she was going to the gym so she couldn't hang out and she hung out with another person, I am a jealous person I guess you could say but I don't know what to do should I find someone else or what? Please help

Everyone makes mistakes. So it’s only to be expected that sooner or later a friend will do or say something that hurts you. To be honest, you may recall a few times when you have hurt others. (Ecclesiastes 7:22) “We’re all imperfect, and we’re going to rub one another the wrong way once in a while,” says a girl named Lisa. Usually a rift that’s caused by a minor misunderstanding can be cleared up with a brief conversation.
In other cases, though, a rift in a friendship isn’t the result of a single event but is caused by a gradual realization that the two of you aren’t as similar as you once thought. Remember, as you grow, your interests change—and so do those of your friend. What can you do when you sense that you and a friend are drifting apart
When you do approach your friend, remember that your objective isn’t to get angry or accuse (Romans 12:17) Rather, your goal is to settle matters and restore the friendship. (Psalm 34:14) So speak from the heart. You could say, “We’ve been friends for some time. Can we talk about what happened?” Once you know the cause of the problem, it may be easier to mend the friendship. Even if your friend is unresponsive, you can find comfort in the fact that you have tried to restore peace.
Take time to heal and instead of having one close friend widen your association.
