Yeah, sadly not always for the better sometimes... I have known this person since elementary school. He was always that happy-go-lucky type of kid that you could always count on to give you a good laugh. Very dependable, just an all around genuine person if you know what I mean.
Lately though, things are different. He has been smoking weed for some time now and I believe he's letting it take control and that's all he cares about now. The last time I spoke to him (it's rare to get a hold of him as he usually doesn't even answer the phone) I asked if he wanted to hang out for new years and he said yeah but he ended up not even calling. I think he may be dissociating himself from me. I feel pretty sad about it. I want to help and be there for him like a good friend should, but there's really nothing I can do. I think I might have to let him go and try to find some new friends like you said.
Thanks for the compliment too. I know I need to work on my social skills some, as I'm quite introverted actually, and I really don't have any (what I consider) "friends" in the outside world right now. Maybe a few acquaintances though. I do get along with most people though, and I think most people would consider me a likable type of person. So I try not to get too down about things if I can help it.
Anyway, if you're not completely bored to sleep by now and you made it to the end, then thank you for reading. I feel a little better now after saying all of that.
But it is for the best to just back away from your friend since it seems like he's become a little more thoughtless in your guys friendship. Maybe in the future he'll realize that he had lost a good friend and comeback for you.
And you are welcome for the compliment. I admit it myself I can be rather anti-social but once I get back on my own two feet and get back out there I realize life isn't too rough and it's rather easy making new friends and that I shouldn't think less on myself. Just be yourself, everybody is different in their own way.
What is normal for your friends?

I had no problem reading what you had to say. :)
