I’m really worried about my friend?

My best friend is having a really hard time lately. She’s in a lot of really hard classes, she’s been having family issues, etc. tonight, she went out with some friends. I had snap chatted her around 7 p.m., and she’s usually pretty good about responding, especially when she gets home around 9:00ish. She never opened my snapchats, so I assumed she was with her boyfriend. Around 11:30, her boyfriend called me asking me if I had heard from her because her dad had called him asking if he knew where she was. Again, she usually isn’t one to stay out late or not answer her phone. She got home from hanging out with her friends close to midnight, and I asked her where she had been. She got really mad because she thinks it’s ridiculous that she’s an adult and she thinks she should be able to stay out past the time she usually gets home without people worrying. I’m not worried about her doing anything she shouldn’t have been, but I am concerned. I told her we were all worried because this isn’t like her, and she said she was upset that we were more concerned about the where she was than the fact that she hasn’t been okay lately. I told her I felt like an awful friend and that I am sorry. I think she went to bed, but she hasn’t responded. What should I do?

Give her space. That's all you can do at the moment. Imo.

I think the first thing you should do is talk to her face to face in person. Ask her how is she recently; does she need someone to share her thought with; is there anything she wants to say or to do; how does she feel at the moment. Carefully listen to her and comfort her if she is feeling down.

That's all I could think of. 😗

You have done enough in my opinion.
You were concerned about her, worried and even apologized, even though it was unnecessary.
Give her some time.

You don't need someone giving you a hard time with this post. Just continue to be her friend, support her, and let her know that she can talk to you about anything, anytime. 👍👍🤗🤗

Be patient and try to be there for her. Sometimes when youre in the depth of your own misery you cant see the people around you that are there for you. You cant see much of anything other than your own problems.

She knows you were only worried about her.
Probably feels a bit guilty she put her friend through it unnecessarily.
She'll come around.

Never claimed to know anything. I’m just worried that something is wrong. @PainfulTruth

@PainfulTruth She is 21 and she is old enough to know what she is doing. After all, every adult used to be kids and facing problems is the way we learn and grow. It is okay to not know something. But instead of waiting for 20 years to finally gain the lesson of life, why don't we gain it during that 20 years of life?

Everybody has a different experience. What we've gone through will never be the same as what others have gone through.
