Fading Friendships


Question Posted Saturday November 27 2004, 11:14 pm

I have some friends that I used to know really well that I would talk to all the time, and we could talk about almost anything with each other; well not so anymore. And it seemed like all of a sudden we didnt talk. What happened and why? Is there anything I can do to reverse this?

you can do ALOT to fix it! This happened to me recently, and I tryed this, it worked! When you guys are having one of those "iffy" conversation, try to bring up the past, the good times, remind them of all the fun you had together! If that doesn't work, then confront the one friend you are closest to, and just say it! I said to my friend "Hey ******, are you mad at me or something, because it seems like you are avoiding me, or not talking to me." After this, we got oit all worked out, and realized it was just a missunderstanding.!
Good Luck!
XOXO

Not really. Maybe you guys have just drifted apart and it is time for some new close friends. It might come back to the way it was eventually, but don't try to push the friendship. It might make it more awkward.

Well one way you can reverse this is by calling them and asking them if you want to go to the movies and stuff.. and go to the mall w/e but the reason that this is happening is either it's harder for you guys to talk to just because they need some space

A lot of times friends drift apart. Everyone changes as you go through life, so as you change you might not have as much in common so you might not get along as well or want to do different things. but you should always try and stay in touch with your friend even if you dont hang out just call her or e-mail her everyonce in a while

you're the only one who knows what happened, but i can tell you this, IT'S CALLED GROWING UP! hasn't anyone ever told you that growing up mean sometimes growing apart? you can't reverse something that you don't understand, there might not be any other reason than you and your friends just simply have changed, accept it.

Given that I don't know much of the situation, I don't know WHAT happened...but if you want to reverse it, and you care about your friends (which you obviously do), just try letting them know how you feel. You may not be able to change how they feel, but at least you'll know you tried.

Omg this same thing happened to me...
You can't really make them talk to you, but you can try to talk to them. Invite some of them over your sure to become great friends again.

Well, do you ever hang out with them anymore? Maybe you should set something up so you can hang out with them. Try hanging more and talking to them more, like call them up and stuff. Good luck! -Kayla

People change over time. It's natural to stop talking to certain people. You will make new friends and you and your older friends will choose different paths to follow. I'm going through the same thing right now so I know how you feel, and it really sucks. Try talking to your friends about this if you really wana keep in touch. Let them know you wana stay friends and you are scared that you're drifting. I hope I helped you. Please rate! =)

well one thing that could of happend is they could have gotten in to drugs.. that happens sometimes when you get in to drugs and trouble. i had a friend once who did that and i only talk to him once a month now. by phone i dont even see him. so wow try and get them in to rehab if its the case.and if it's not the case then maybe you should try and talk to them even if they don't wanna talk to you. well i hope you know what to do.
hope i helped xox manda
