I planned a solo hiking trip months ago to clear my head and get away for a bit. My best friend just got dumped like a week before my trip and is super emotional. She asked me to cancel or at least push the trip so I could stay with her and help her through it. I told her I’m still going and she said I was being selfish. I told her I’m not changing my plans and this trip is something I’ve been looking forward to and I need it for my peace of mind. I reminded her I’d still be here for her once I’m back.

Now she’s kinda ghosting me and I feel guilty. Like… should I have been a better friend in this moment? AITAH for choosing myself this time?
