Why are my friendships falling apart?


Question Posted Tuesday February 21 2006, 10:03 pm

I lost a friend this summer. We just kind of grew apart. We go to different schools and our interests just kind of changed.

That's how it all started. Now, I'm paranoid about losing more friends. I've already had a (not-so-close) friend call me annoying behind my back (She was always kind of mean; and she just all of a sudden started hating me one day. It wasn't a long drawn-out thing). She's two-faced; she's nice to me in person, but behind my back, she's a bi*ch.

I have a friend who has 946379865978978 other friends. I guess I'm kinda jealous of her, because she has a bunch of friends that LOVE and idolize her. Like, I'll be talking to her, and some person will come and be like "Hey!" to her, totally ignoring me. This doesn't help, especially in a time like this.

Why are all of my friendships falling apart? Well, not all of them are, but it sure seems like it. I had so many strong friendships before. I'm pretty confident, and I'm scared of being a person with low self-esteem. I went through that stage a long time ago and I never want to go back.

What should I do? This really hurts!

Hang on to your self esteem. It isn't you.

Really...It is just getting older. Boyfriends come in to the picture and people just start growing up. Their interests change and not always for the better.

Sometimes other girls star seeing you as competition too. Some of it may be jealousy.

Hang in there. Hopefully they will all get their acts together one of these days. If not then they weren't very good friends in the first place.

It never hurts to talk to to them. Tell them how you feel and how you want to remain friends.

Good luck. :)
