im feeling the same way you are right now. Try hanging out with them more and talk to them as much as possible. If you have a problem with one of you friends and thats the reason you are growing apart confront her. hope i helped =)

talk to them, it always helps. this happens to alot of people though, but one of the only things you can do is just talk and you try and make plans to hang out and just try getting closer.

Just get together with ur close frens, like go to the movies,shopping, call them and invite them to your house or w/e. Just hang out. If this doesnt help there are plenty of other ppl that would probal wanna b frens wit u, so suck it up.

You can't really prevent it, the same thing happened to me. People change.. it's inevitable, you have to expect it. And people grow apart. It's not always sad, just be happy you had a chance to be close with them. Or, it's just that you don't hang out enough anymore. Call them up, plan something, and maybe things will get going again. But if you guys have changed a lot, the latter thing might not work.

have a sleepover with your friends. late at night when all of you share secrets (which you know a sleepover cannot do without!) explain that you are afraid you guys are growing apart, they will understand and you all will have a newfound closeness. hope i helped.

frenchfriez22 answered Thursday December 30 2004, 9:36 pm:
Well thsi is going to happen. Casually invite them over to your place or go out to lunch w/ them just to talk. if worst comes to worst and they aren't interested in you anymore. Just move on and forget them. Who cares.-~laura~

Hi! Everyone at some point feels that way. Try going and making new friends. Or if you really wanna stay frineds with them, try spending a lot of time with them or even try just going up and talking to them. Just be like "I feel like our friendship is growing apart and I dont want that to happen." You might even be suprised to find that they feel the same way. Good luck with your friends! I hope everything turns out okay! Hope my advice helpes!

If you like don't live near them or like go to a different school, try to make your social groups blend a little more. Like have some of your old friends over and new firnds over. But if you just feel like you aren't really interested or making an effort to be their friends, then its time to try calling or inviting them over more often, and things like that. But if they neglect you, move on.

You just need to talk to your friends and tell them how you feel and how you think that yall are growing apart. Sometimes you just do grow apart, but others you can get together more and do fun things that you used to do with them!
I Hope everything works out and i hope you regrow your friendships with them!
hope i helped

You need to try to hang out with them more - if you spend more time with them, it probably won't feel as if you're growing apart. The worst-case scenario is that yes, you are growing apart, and there isn't anything you can do about it, but try anyways. You never know! Hope I helped!

fromYou2Me answered Thursday December 30 2004, 7:02 pm:
i can totally relate, Missed Friend. usually the reason for growing apart from friends if because you don't really talk or hang out anymore. try to plan a date with them like a sleepover or a day at the mall. then you guys can have time to talk and catch up with each other.
