Is it normal to drop friends?

I used to be really good friends with this girl, but one day, I just stopped talking to her, and went to hang out with other people. I'm pretty sure she hates me now.

  • Its normal to move on, but what you describe seems a bit harsh & rejecting. She is probably hurt.

    I'm guessing you are in high school where to move into a group doesn't always mean bringing another people. Cliquishness can be pretty nasty.

    If this girl, who was a good friend, isn't part of the other group you could a) make her part, or b) carry on with a relationship on your own terms.

    Either way, or otherwise, you should approach her to apologize and see where she would like to go with your relationship.

    I don't think you'd have posted this if you felt you had done the right thing.

    i dropped this friend of mine after 5 years because she was never really a friend. she was always jeleous, always terying to benefit from me.we went to a movie screening and i got drunk before going. she had a ride to the movies. so i asked her to drive me to my husbands and from there we would give her a ride home. while we were waiting outside for him to meet us, she insinuated that i should pay her for driving me there. IN MY OWN CAR. thats the day i desvided it had gone too far. ill never see that bitch again :D

    Most people are social and have large networks of unreliable friends and acquaintances that they call friends and other people have small groups of close friends. The first group is likely to make and break friendships quickly but with lots of drama just for drama sake.
