How do you tell


Question Posted Wednesday June 18 2008, 5:28 am

It sounds odd, but I sometimes get the feeling that my friends are no longer interested in remaining friends with me, but are being polite about it.

How can you tell if they no longer want you as a friend without outright asking them?

OMG. I had the same problem with my friends! Just be nice to them. Don't invite them to your parties or do stuff after school with them. You can just be simple friends you know...Hi...Bye in the halls or talk a little in class but that's about it. If you have a feeling that they are no longer interested well that means they problem won't care much if you don't hang out with them and such. They could join you in something but just say your busy. That's what I did.

You are talking about male friends just hanging out right?

One, they avoid your phone calls, don't return your phone calls. They don't open the door when you come to visit or they have nothing to really talk to you about if you are on the phone. They don't answer emails or text messages either.


Second, you will never know what's up until you do straight up ask them what the deal is.

I want to say this, if you are depressed all the time, or constantly talking about your girlfriend or current situation, it pushes friends away, especially if you aren't going to do anything about it. If you are allowing a girl or woman to use you and get over on you and manipulate you, and yet complain to them without doing anything about it, it also pushes friends away. If you are always complaining and whining about life, money, relationships, etc. it also pushes friends away - again if you aren't going to do anything about it.

If the feelings you get are caused by actions, reactions and lack of responsive action from your friends, then they no longer want you as a friend. If the feelings you get are just because you enjoy questioning yourself instead of challenging yourself to focus on you and improve YOU, then most likey your friends,are interested in still being friends with you, and you have self esteem issues, or depression issues that you should consider talking to someone about, so that it does not over take your life, and ruin you as a person OR your relationship.

well, since you don't want to ask them try the other following ways

1) ask them if they want to go somewhere with you ex. the movies or shopping. Note their response. Do they hesitate? Say no right away?

2)you could also hint it. like say to him/her "i don't like it when people pretend to continue being friends with you when they don't" maybe, she'll get the idea.

3) talk to her. does she listen? does she answer and share her opinions? or does she just nod and smile?

4) if those tries go failed then you might want to just ask her. this way you will know for sure and won't be as troubled.

best of luck.
