How do I deal with a best friend who has changed dramatically from what made us friends in the first

My best friend and I were very close in all we were interested in. We had the same religous %26amp; political views, and loved discussing those, history, philosophy and science. We both believed in God and Jesus, but our differering views from the rest of Christianity brought us closer together. When the 2008 election came around, we both supported Hillary off the bat. Discussing why, how to get involved, and such, made us closer. Recently, she switched her endorsement, became an Atheist and began a view that speaks negatively towards all we used to agree on. It's not as if she even told me this, I had to find it out from reading her MySpace page. I feel that we could have worked through these differences had she told me upfront as we used to be very close, but now I am not sure. Also, it seems her views %26amp; interests change every time she becomes obsessed with a new celebrity. What do I do?

People grow apart as they grow older... their interests change.

You can be the good friend and be there when she needs you. But if she wants to go on and change her views with the changing of the winds - then so be it.

... but when her life comes crashing down, be there to support her.

you dont need to sweat it, nor wonder about your friendship

people change, but chocolates and ice cream are still fine

so enjoy anytime you can have together, pizza, boys,etc

if you guys differ, never mind, life goes on, just keep singin in the shower, and stay beautiful.

Not a lot other than talking. You can't change people, they can only change themselves - and you shouldn't force someone to change themselves.

Talk and hope they change of their own accord.

I lost a friend because he kept changing all the time, going through fads and phases. It is a shame, but he couldn't and shouldn't change.

You find a new best friend.

Even though you found this out via myspace, you're still better off talking to her in person about it. Assuming you're still friends, there's no reason why she wouldn't want to to work this out with you. If she truly does feel the way she says on her myspace page and it's not just a "I'm bored let's change what I believe in" thing, then if you bring up to her that you still respect her and want to be her friend it will go over a lot better. If she really does feel that way, then she may not be as close to you as she was before, but that doesn't mean you still can't be friends with her. But I'd bring it up to her, not in an accusative fashion, but just let her know you want to make sure the friendship is still there, etc.

okay so first of all if she is basing her views on celebrities she is being immature. and if you talk about the things that are listed above you never found a friend who you were close with.

people change as they grow older. Somethings you may have believed in or even liked last year, u may no longer like/believe.

I guess the only thing you can do is see how she acts/behaves around you? As why should ur religious/political views affect ur friendship? Either way, if you think shes distancing herself from you, let her; just think this friendship just wasnt meant to be. As obviously you didnt mean much to her if shes willing to throw away a friendship just because you differ in beliefs.

well you really can't change someone. If they change then they change that just how it is in real life. A lot of people change now these days i mean all of my friends changed a lot compare to how we were in freshman year now that we r seniors. If she really your best friend then she be there to support your view and you be there to support her views. A lot of us change as time goes by you really cant stop that my views always changes too not to mention and so does my best friend but even though we both change a lot we're still best friend

so don't dump her try to understand her view and let her understand your view it what make friends talkative! because you both have different opinion and you both have something to learn more about each other.(Just don't argue so much that will get you into a fight that a route you should NEVER take)
