Well, here's my situation. I had a best friend, and we were VERY close. We started growing apart during the summer of 2005, and the last thing I hung out with her was probably some time in September. We rarely ever talk anymore; even in her myspace it says on one of the surveys, "Have any best friends: No" or something like that. As much as it hurts me, I'm starting to get over it.
This situation has left a scar, though.
I am starting to get paranoid about my friends. A friend could act weird, and I freak out, wondering if I did anything wrong. If a friend doesn't talk to me on AIM or call me enough, I start wondering, "Oh man, I must have said/done something wrong to make them do that." Even if a friend talks to another person (If the other person is a friend or not), I get kind of jealous. I don't mention it to my friends, but it sure is a problem for me.
If you've ever grown apart from a friend that you still cared about, you probably understand what I mean.
What should I do to get over this paranoia? How can I get my old life back and just enjoy spending time with friends without worry? (link)

Getting over this is a combination of time and good friends. If you have a really close friend try confiding in them about part of your worries (best not to pour out all the crazy in one go I find!). Often they'll reassure you enough to reassure you for a while at least.
Afraid it's just a case of coming to terms with the fact that sometimes some people will come and go from your life and living in the present making as many great memories as you can.
You'll be fine x
