Is it normal for friends to do this

4 Comments

Is it normal that you have "friends" who claim they miss you but, never invite you to hang out or do something productive? All of my friends who have literally been through everything with me since childhood seem to be...nothing anymore. I never get invited anywhere whenever they hang out. Sometimes I do but, it's always on days when my family is in need of me. Everytime I see pictures of them on social networks having the time of their life, it makes me want to break down and cry. Even at school, i'm a highschool senior and most of the time it's always me and one of my fellow classmates who chill together. My "friends" are off hanging out with there new friends or eachother. To me it seems like our friendship isn't there anymore. I mean, we used to be down to earth with eachother. We would vent to eachother, talk about memories past, have good laughs but, since we never have moments like this anymore, it just makes me feel so depressed. Like, did I do something wrong? I don't know, it just feels as if the whole world is collapsing on me. I just want to leave to a new state or something and never be bothered again. I know this isn't you're typical is it normal post but, I just don't know what to do. Do I let things flow or just move on?

I'm a guy by the way and a senior in highschool.

    I think a combination of both. You can't force friendship, just continue to be you. Maybe confide in one you trust the most if he or she notices the same thing too. Other than that, just stay cool.

    A lot of times as people grow older, they also grow apart, friends included. I would be sad to hear if one of my old friends from high school or college died, but I haven't seen, or spoken to, most of them in years. I've changed, they've changed, our lives have changed. There was never a fight or falling out, just drifting apart.
    Continue to be yourself, learn new things, have new experiences and meet new people. Just because you and your friends no longer interact, doesn't mean you won't again in the future. It happens to all of us.

    I think you should just move on. Saying goodbye is one of the hardest things in life and can be pretty sad. Just don't hurt their feelings in case you tell them! Good luck.
