I wouldnt tell her how you feel. She's probably already picked up on it. Talk about it with someone other than her. Get their perspective. Cry it out. The relationship isn't dead, just changing. Just hurts for a while. Keep holding on, you'll get through it.

i feel the same way about my friends replacing me but just hangout with your old friends and leave her for a while because maybe she just wants to be with different people and sometimes you have to respect that, or either talk to her about it if shes really your best friend she will understand and included u and not just leave you out

hope things work out

try not to let it bother you! over time friendships do change and just because you may not be as close or she has another friend does not make what you have any less important to her. tell her that its worrying you, after all these years shes played such an important role in your life and you dont want to seem stupid but your worried shes replaced you! you give the impression your close so shes most likely to understand and reassure you. why not try getting to know her mate? its ok to have more than one. a change to the group is good, it takes a few adjutments and shell probably never be as close as you 2 were but she can have other mates. best of luck xxx
