I've moved away recently and what I thought would happen, happened. I don't miss my friends. I liked them but I didn't have a good time when I was with them, deep down I didn't enjoy it. I don't care about their problems either. I wanted to care but I was never able to. So I would just ask them things out of curiosity.

The only people I care about are my parents and guys I'm interested in and I only have a good time with them. I guess I only feel some sort of emotional bond when a guy is involved, which is why I care in this case. I wanted some sort of explanation for all of this.

    A few years ago, I changed schools. I had been in my old one for about ten years and I thought I had really close friends. I cried so hard before I moved to the other school, mostly because I was leaving the only friends I ever had and I was real insecure back then and worried I'd never be able to make friends again.

    When I did get into that new school however, things were so much better. I didn't miss my old friends at all and with time I realized I never even really cared about them. What we had wasn't a healthy friendship for many reasons that I'm not gonna bother you with. I figured out the reason I ever spent time with them at all or thought I cared about them was because I needed to feel like I belonged somewhere.

    For years now I've had new friends that I actually care about and love and I know they feel the same way about me and it's nothing like the way it used to be a few years back. So what I'm trying to say here, it's completely normal for you to feel this way. You didn't miss your friends because you never had a real connection with them, and there's nothing wrong with that.

    I may be off-base, but here's my take on it. If your friends weren't really friends in the truest sense of the word, if they were leading you down the wrong path in life, then part of you knows that. If they were the kind of people who manipulated you to get what they wanted, or maybe just for kicks, then you're really better off without them. The part of you that understood that these "friendships" were toxic is relieved to finally leave them behind.
