"so, recently, i've felt like my best friend doesn't really like having me around. She always blows off our plans, and when we're out with groups, she barely even LOOKS at me. Am I just being paranoid, or is something wrong with our friendship?"
I can't safely answer this question. No one but your best friend is in your best friend's head. Only they know what they're thinking. Obviously, communication is the first step - like with any relationship, communication is key. So that's the first step - an attempt to talk. This presents three possible outcomes:
1. Outright denial that anything is wrong.
2. Anger that you'd "accuse" them of being mad at you, even if you weren't technically being accusatory.
3. An actual grown-up discussion about what's bugging them.
It's very possible you're "just being paranoid," but if this person is your best friend, wouldn't you try to save the friendship at all costs?
And the age-old question: is this person your best friend? If they decide to get mad at you and just blow you off without actually telling you why and talking about it, are they your true friend? Are they someone you really want to have intimately in your life? Is that the best thing for you, or even that person? It would be better to have someone close to you that wouldn't up and leave, that would have your back, and that would be willing to talk to you.
