Friends from a distance?
Ok. I'm just wondering how normal you'd say this is. I've got a ton of friends from places, and I dont' want to lose any of them, but I'm worried I will. This year I've changed, and a lot of my friends from old schools and stuff think I'm becoming "bad" or whatever. I like to spend most of my time alone, or with the same few people. With most people, I prefer to keep in touch with them through IM or phone, but not in person. I've had people call me depressed, suicidal, lonely, all kinds of stuff. Sometimes I guess I do seem like I'm depressed or something, and I'm worried about losing one of my friends because she's feeling like I've gone goth over the summer, and for some reason she hates goths. As far as I know, I haven't.
How can I maintain friendships if there are so few people who's company I really enjoy?

It's not weird to prefer to spend your time alone, and rather talk to people over the phone or AIM - you're probably just introverted, like me and many other people.
Maintaining friendships is a difficult thing, especially if you do tend to keep to yourself a lot. I think the best thing you can do is try and be as friendly as possible with the friends you want to keep. If you can't see them in person, IM, email or call them on a regular basis so they know you're thinking of them.
The best way to keep friends is let them know you care, and that you like having them around.
