So my best friend of 13 years, since 6th grade, and I had sort of a falling out. Around the middle of last summer he started acting different. Wasn't his goofy self around me like he used to be, wasn't into our little inside jokes or the things we used to do, didn't laugh at the same things he used to laugh at, seemed like he had some new friends and I was just history. One day just never came around anymore or wanted to hang out. He would still sometimes answer my IMs or phone calls, but was just very distant so I took the hint and stopped. I tried to apologize for anything I might have done, and he was nice and said he was just busy, but it was BS. It kinda felt like he ';grew up'; all of a sudden. Do you think we just grew apart, his feelings changed and just wasn't into the type of friendship we had? It's really lonely without him and I keep wondering WHY he did this. Any ideas or things I can do? Think he'll ever come back? Thanks much.Need some advice or thoughts on best friend woes!?
Well, maybe he did grow up fast. There might be something about you thats possibly holding him back. Then again, there might not be. Friends grow apart. Its tough. You either gotta talk to this guy about whats really going on, or you just have to get over it. If he is the worthy friend that you thought he was, he'll come around. If he doesnt get yourself some friends that are worth your time.Need some advice or thoughts on best friend woes!?
it must be tough when people grow apart. a friendship is with 2 people not just one person making all the effort. if he doesnt wanna be friends anymore well then thats his loss, you go find new friends that wont put you last on there list and that will have respect for you. soo meet people through work, college, church, team sports, ect. it just happens at time people grow apart but dont drown yourself in pitty cos you;ll get know where. basically MOVE ON!
What was the falling out about? Is an apology in Order here? Apparently Your friend has some underlying circumstances.As sad as it may be perhaps you should just wait it out. There is a definate reason .Give your friend some space. Try Prayer. It works! Just ask God to show you the answer. Maybe there is something else that you haven't thought of. Just send one text to Say '; I'm here when you need me, whatever it is'; Also remind him that you are best friends and best friends are forever. Good Luck!
i would just talk to him. tell him how you feel. your not going to get very far doing anything else.
By my math, this makes you about 25. I don't want to sound unkind, but it sounds like he is growing up, branching out, and going on with life in a typical way. By your saying he ';he never came around anymore or wanted to hang out';, it appears to me that your socialization habits haven't changed much in a very long time. He was probably feeling stifled, stilted and perhaps even a little parental. Get involved in life. Do you work? Go to school? Develop friendships and alliances in those areas. Join clubs (or go to one), volunteer, get out of your rut. Nobody wants to be someone else's whole world. I understand that you feel lonely, but you are the only one who can do anything about it. Good luck.
