Do you ever feel like you have lost your friends?
Tags friends
Sounds like a strange title, but it is a good question. I know that we all change with time and people come and people go.
I have , at least what I thought, a close couple of friends and it feels like we are drifting apart. Is is because of our interests have changed? Is is because new people entered the picture? Is it because people have left?
I just know that there is an emptiness in my heart as I am the one that seems to have been left out and I am angry at myself and at them. There is no one to call to share in my excitement over a great deal. There is no one to call to complain that I had a bad day. There is no one to share in the excitement of something my kids did.
It just kinda sucks as I thought the friendship would never end. Apparently I was wrong.
Maybe it is just time to give up.

That is how I feel too. It's hard when so many people tell you friendship is a bond that will last forever. I try so hard to keep mine, but seems things just go wrong.
I understand how you are feeling.. Joining this site, I have gotten close to a few people and its great to have someone to talk to you know?Posted 01-14-2009 at 09:58 PM by nattsgirl

Unfortunately these friends are from the internet and it is really hard not to have them in my life. There is just a void.Posted 01-15-2009 at 07:24 AM by Kmchamplin

i've read this a couple of times, kind of pondering what it says exactly. first of all, if you have been left out from your "friends" then that is a great loss on there part. i have met you a few time & talked with you online & i believe you are a great person. you have such a sense of humor! you are also thoughtful & caring! it is really hard sometime when things change in everyones lives, that we sometimes put our friends on the back burner when our families come first. if you are mad at yourself or at your friends, then you need to talk to them & tell them how you feel. offer to get together with them, whether it's at your house or going out for a bite to eat. be honest with your friends about how you feel & things will work out. best regards - your FRIEND

Karen, my ds and I were just talking about this the other day. He feels that way with some of his friends, and he is only 17. I don't know what advice to give him. People change and have different likes, I don't think they should "dump each other" though. He says sometimes he can't feel like he can be himself, and people only like him because he is funny, then his friend is laughing and having a good time with someone else, and he feels left out.
Next time you want to share a deal or some good news. I will be here for you!Posted 01-21-2009 at 04:16 PM by rntg83 - My girlfriend of 6 years just decided out of the blue she no longer wanted to associate with me anymore. I never had a man break my heart (although I’ve done my share of that! LOL), but this woman…someone who claimed to be my best friend, broke my heart in ways that I’ll never recover. They say friendship lasts forever, and although I’d really like to believe that, people are selfish to some degree and our own self worth is a tad more important than others. Sometimes we don’t see how we’re acting or who we may be hurting with our actions. There are many wonderful people out there in the world. Some you may meet in person and others you may meet online and forging a friendship with both is wonderful and I do agree it does make you feel whole. Let this one pass, as you’ll have so many other wonderful friendships in your lifetime.Posted 01-22-2009 at 10:40 AM by staceyph3sc

I feel like I somehow don't have the ability to make friends like I use to. So, the ones I have left from college and B4 kids, I feel somehow if I lost them, I would never be able to replace them. Which I know is not true, but feels that way. I hope you find someone even better to hang out with - I know a ton of people that would love to have a friend as awesome as you - heck I would!Posted 02-09-2009 at 12:40 PM by DebB831
