Is it normal that me and my best friend don't know how to talk anymore? I mean we've been distant for the past year and well since school started last semester we just don't know how to talk to one another? Yeah we have problems and such, but it's to the point where when he's around I don't know how to talk to him. I feel kind of awkward talking to him and well I heard that friendships change and such, but I kind of hope that this one changes back to normal. I just feel like it's awkward and hard to talk to him at times and I get the feeling he feels the same way since well he hasn't really laughed at my jokes (which he did time to time) and well seems to be distant, but acts like he isn't.

Just the other day we had to go to a class together although I didn't exactly know he had to go to the class and well I don't think he knew I had to too, although I sent him a message I got from my instructor sent me about it. Anywho we were talking, but he didn't seem into it and well during the break he wanted to move to the front since he saw another friend of his (a girl) and told me he wanted to move closer not mentioning the girl. He asked me if i wanted to go and I said sure. We moved and sat next to her and they talked and he was talking more comfortable with her then when he was with me. And well it's been the same thing every time I see him, he is more comfortable talking with other people than with me. Any advice/opinions are appreciated.

    Energy is right. My friend since 3rd grade, I'm now 19, and i hardly ever hang out. I started smoking weed amd went out with numerous girls, he stayed away from weed and has one steady girlfriend. He met knew people, iet others and we are both just drifting apart. i mean, I know it was me that kind of ruined the relationship anyways but we are and always have been and always will be great friends. I stopped smoking and im getting my life together and we are just growing up and having our own individuality. It doesn't mean that we aren't friends. Same goes for you man. You will always be friends just growing up and having new interests and becoming your own person. No worries man, it happens to everyone :) keep your chin up high. Hell, I just taught myself how to play a guitar a few days ago. That tells me anythings possible haha I never thought is learn how to play this Damn guitar! Haha good luck bro, ill be your friend if you need one. Just keep a positive attitude and your gravy.

    Time moves on and people move on you have to move on as well. The person he was before isn't going to come back don't dwell on it we all change as we grow older accept the him that's before you and try to relax. When you learn to accept the changes in him it'll be the same. KEEP MOVING FORWARD, stop looking at the past and look ahead of you. Remember "You can clutch the past so tightly to your chest that it leaves your arms too full to embrace the present" and once you do that you wont be able to see the friend you have now before you. The past friend is gone cherish the past and look ahead so you dont miss the friend now. You have changed as well you may not notice it but we all change accpet it. accept it all..

    Yes, this is very normal. Sounds like you guys are just drifting apart. I know what it's like.
