I dont know why but i think i may be losing my friendships with my friends. A lot of my friends aren't talking to me anymore and when i try to talk, they ignore me. This never happened before and i dont know why or how this started. It started a few months ago in my freshman year at high school and just keeps increasing with more friends as time goes on. Many of the friends i had before are now just acting different around me. They seem to dislike me and keep distance with me. If i try to talk, they just say nothing. I dont know what to do and im scared about this situation. They used to text me, talk all the time, and we used to hang out and now its stopped. Whenever i try to hang out with them, they are always with the other people there and if i try to talk they just answer and get back to the other kids. I feel really depressed and i dont know why this is happening. They act like they dont like me when i'm around and even ignore me. They act like i'm invisible or as if i'm not there. I need advice on this and want to get back to how everything was before. I dont know what is wrong with me, or why they are like how they are. I really want to fix this so please give any advice you have.

Your not alone people lose friends everyday . You say you have more friends everyday maybe your acting differnt and your friends like the old you . Or its just the fact they knew you first and longer and they don't want to to forget about them . You have to try and talk to them if they don't want to talk just say "Hey I talk and you just listen !" its simple as that . If they don't seem to care or understand how you feel then maybe there aren't really good friends . Because good friends try and work their friendship out. Like I said before your probely doing somthing different then your normally doing . Just try and talk with them and see if it works out and if it doesn't you have a lot of other friends .
advicecolumnist answered Tuesday May 12 2009, 11:50 pm: I know what you mean. This happened to me once, and we haven't resolved our fight in 2 months straight. But my friend is different than just being ignorant. My friend is a copycat and a backstabber.
First of all, try to ask them what is wrong. Tell them how you really feel, and if they don't answer you, just let them loosen up a bit, and wait for them to come to you. They might just be either of the following:
-they changed alot over the past years of your friendship
-they aren't really true friends.
If they are true friends, they wouldn't act like this towards you.
-They have a problem.
Is it something that you did? Remember the past times.
If you didn't do anything to offend them, then just leave them alone, and if they hate you when they are around you, tell them straight. "Is there a problem?" If they don't reply, find a new set of friends, if they act mean towards you, ignore them, and just tell them how you feel little by little until you understand.

Get rid of them. Make new friends. You don't need people who are making you feel like you are a waste of time. Maybe you did something wrong but maybe you didn't.
The best you can do is just ask them if you did something wrong and then apologize but if you did nothing to them,, then just forget all about them. You are a freshman in high school. You are going to lose a lot of your so-called friends. Get out there and make new ones. By the time you graduate from high school and move onto college you probably won't talk to half of the people you do now. You will make tons of new people in college if thats the route you take. Don't let these so-called "friends" bring you down.
Chances are there is nothing wrong with you. They are just not worth your time. Just stop trying to talk to them, stop texting them, stop everything. If they are your true friends they'll come back to you. If not then obviously they weren't your friends to begin with.
It will be hard. You don't want to go through school without friends but you'll make new ones. Ones that actually care about you and won't stop talking to you.
wicked1472 answered Tuesday May 12 2009, 8:33 pm: If they are doing this to you, it's probably because you've done something wrong, or they just don't wanna hang out with you anymore. If they are using this approach, maybe they're not your true friends.
My advice to you would be to make new friends, or try to talk to them. Talk to them about how you feel and demand an explanation. No one deserves to be treated this way. [ wicked1472's advice column | Ask wicked1472 A Question ]
