When not at my hippie college I live in a tiny rural town 11 miles from the nearest traffic light. I love history and can tell you more about the sex lives of various historical figures than you'd ever want to know. I also collect socks.

My best friend really has changed. We both moved into this new neighborhood, me a bit before her. I was very shy, and she wasnt. I was her firt friend here, and soon we became best friends. Thnx to her I started going out more, and we made a lot of friends in the park and stuff. But lately she's been leaving me out. She calls me to go to the park, and as soon as we get der, and she sees the guy she likes she ditches me. She's changed, and lately I've been feeling like she uses me only when she needs me. And I've told her, but she still doesnt change.I was never good at interacting, so she changed me for the good. And I've become kinda dependant on her. Now I feel like if I was blind, then they give me the gift of sight, then they take it away.It just sucks that she's starting to ignore me when I've become to used to her.And I dont know if I should just move on like she's apparently doing.

You didn't mention how old you are -- but friends can grow apart, especially when you're young and still changing. It sounds like your friend has grown apart from you. You have to decide if the relationship is worth saving. Do you have other friends, or can you make them? If I were you I would do one of two things.

1. Have a serious talk about the problem with your friend and go from there.
or:
2. Try to find other friends and hang out with them, and other interests and hobbies to take up your time.

Your friend may come back to you after a time, but if she doesn't, she should not be your only option for company.
