3amthoughts 366 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 So I have this friend who I felt like was the first best friend I've had in a while. But lately it feels like we're acquaintances more than friends. I don't want to be upset because this person has been working through some issues in their life, but it makes me feel like a crap friend. It's hard to reach out now too. For example, this person has been gone from school for extended periods of time. I contacted them but didn't receive a response. I found out from mutual friends that they were going through a rough patch, started dating, and even got a new phone. But I'd be shit for feeling upset right? So I blamed my hurt on PMS. Wasn't it though cause I felt a wall push its way between us. I'm so used to friendships becoming strained because I'm an inadequate friend. I'm worried that this will be another friendship left in the dust, only this time I'll be graduating and starting a new chapter. Should I try with this friendship or just let things go on its own course? Thanks. p.s. has anyone been through situations like this too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamsta X 82 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Sometimes people need to deal with their issues on their own in order to find strength and grow. It doesn't say anything about as an individual and a friend, and it doesn't say anything about them. Of course friendships grow apart, and that's a natural part of the cycle of life too, but it seems like you're sure it's their issues that are causing tension. So just every once in a while drop a text, leave em a message on Facebook or something to let them know you're thinking about them and there is no bad blood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyan 365 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I sorta get what you're feeling. I think you should try contacting them again, talking to them, trying to keep the conversation going. Maybe it'll help relax them and they'll feel comfortable with you again. I've experienced losing friends because "life" happened and it sucks. I think you should try to maintain this friendship instead of letting it go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
