I feel the same, but that is because I don't know how you really define what a 'friend' is.
Sure, I know lots of people from when I used to go to school. I'd say hi to them if I saw them again but I would never make an effort to go see them. Do they count as friends, or just acquaintances?
The people who I did used to make an effort for have now all moved away. But%%u2026they still seem to see each other a lot, but none of them contact me%%u2026
So, I can kind of see where you coming from with the 'been pushed out whilst their getting closer' feeling.
If I was to count the number of people I personally class as a %%u2018friend%%u2019, I could do it using one finger. Although I only see them every few weeks%%u2026
In short: I think it%%u2019s normal, because you're not the only one.. :(
I do understand how you feel too. In my situation though deep down inside I a know that I am better off with different friends. I mean don't get me wrong, they are wonderful people for where they are in their life. I just need some friends for where I am at in mine. - - Somewhere in there I am saying to you (and myself), "Don't feel needy". Maybe it is best that they go one way and you another. Change is not always fun but worth the experience.
I don't know if I actually have real friends or not..
