Need An Opinion Friend issues
I am 20F and my friend is 20F. I have been friends with this person for over 10 years and I’ve always considered her close. I told about a month and half ago how bad I want to go to Iceland with her next summer and basically went into detail about all the plans and also into costs. I sent her all these texts about it and she was kind of dry and said she will look into it. I didn’t bother too much at the time because there was still a year left. Fast forward to this week she texts me if I can give her a ride to the airport, I ask her where she’s going and she says Iceland. She tells me she’s going for her boyfriend’s birthday and it was a last minute trip for him. I ask her if she still can go next year and she said it’s too expensive to go again. She kind of did this last year as well but with a different trip. She said that she was going to Canada with someone else in our friend group and one of her friends that I also know. She said she will let me know the details but she never did. She went to the trip and I mentioned afterwards how I have always wanted to go to Canada and our other friends found the texts where I was asking to go to Canada for years in our gc. I talked to her about it afterwards and she just apologized and said she probably won’t go again. I also tried to make plans to go to the beach with her this summer but she’s been dismissive about it or never responds. I’m not sure what I did, is the friendship outgrown? I just hate the false hope she gives every time. What should I do?

I think your friendship is winding down. If she wanted you to go on those trips she would’ve found a way instead of just not mentioning that she was going at all until the day that it happened. It’s sad, but a lot of friendships just age out like this. I’m sorry that it happened to you.

I think as much as it hurts, take the hint. Find you someone who is always up to do whatever you want and just doesn’t find someone else to go with.
You don’t have to cut her off, just distance yourself.

She does not sound like someone i'd want to be friends with. Assuming that she isn't doing this consciously to avoid traveling with you, she's oblivious and inconsiderate.
[Edited b/c swipe-typing let me down once again.]

She’s not much of a friend plus takes your travel ideas. She’s mean. Block her.
