I don't know your exact situation, but I kind of know where you're coming from in feeling distanced from high school friends. For me, going away to college just kind of changed everything. Now, even though I'm back in my old city, I don't have the same, or in some cases any, relationship with people I was friends with for so many years. It can be really hard to come to terms with, and gets me pretty down sometimes too.
That... doesn't help at all, I know, sorry. But I definitely hope you get some things sorted out.
but it feels like I may have inadvertently upset or offended some of them somehow Have you considered just coming out and asking them? Just to... be better safe than sorry?
Either way, I hope you start to feel better soon ♥
You might be at a point with your friends that you're starting to grow apart, I'm like this with one of my best friends from HS. I know how awful it feels. I don't think it has anything to do with being a good friend, just that you need friends who you can relate to really well, and you feel closer to. I've been thinking about this recently!
I'm sorry that's happening to you. I can sympathize, as I've gone through some of the same things, and it seems to be painful to have to deal with changing relationships. I hope you can form new friendships out of ones that didn't exist before in place of other ones that might be ending or changing to be unrecognizably different. It does seem that people in life are always coming and going. It is hard to deal with that change, but there's quite a bit of value and richness to life when it comes to sharing it with new and different people under new and different experiences, so I hope you can find it to be worth it!
Hope you've got good people to talk about it with. If you don't immediately, there's always journaling and writing, and people like me who like to be here to listen!
I'm going through a similar situation with my closest friend and it's so tough. All I can say is think about who makes the effort and really is there for you. Hold onto those people and I hope you feel a bit better soon.
I sorry you're having friendship woes. If you've made the attempt to contact someone and they don't return it then perhaps it just isn't worth it. We all have to figure out who are REAL friends are. The true friends well be for there us no matter what and the others won't.
Sometimes friendships from h.s. don't last. People grow apart or they just are busy with things in there lives. College friendships don't really last either.
