I think the problem here may be that you think your friend wants to "chit chat about things that don't matter" but just because it doesn't matter to you, doesn't mean it doesn't matter to her. In any relationship you have to be respectful of each other's interests. Why should she only listen to what you have to say if you think her stuff doesn't matter? It sounds like a good friend who genuinely misses you. I know you want to share you knowledge, but maybe dial it down a little bit? Maybe the things you shared with her was just too much all at once and she can only handle them in smaller doses.
We’ve been texting back and forth tonight, for the first time in two months. She does miss me and I have been torn up about the whole situation.
She is VERY wealthy and I am not. She’s unbothered by gas prices, inflation and moral decay. She lives in a beautiful bubble that she’s worked very hard to create. Her multi-million dollar business was deemed essential and has been WILDLY successful the last two years. Meanwhile my tiny business was shut down.
Where we used to have so much in common, now its like we’re living in two completely different worlds. It’s kinda fucking bizarre.
Ugh that's hard, I'm so sorry. That actually makes a lot more sense now why it's so hard for you to relate to each other. I don't blame you, it would be very hard for me to be friends with someone like that. Meh, hopefully you'll meet some new friends!

You’re partially correct.
