I'm the only one changing?


Question Posted Thursday August 20 2009, 10:38 am

Hi Guys,

It seems like lately me and my friends are drifting apart. I knew this would happen when we all started new colleges and we are meeting new people. I have met some amazing people at my college, but I still love my old friends. I still speak to my old friends every day and I see them reguarly. But it seems like we don't have barely anything in common anymore.

I love going to parties and meeting new people and I am much more confident than I was a year ago. But my old friends aren't into this sort of stuff. I don't know what to do because my old friends are my best friends. I want them to come to parties with me, but if they don't want to come then I feel bad for going with one of my new friends.

I feel like I am the only one who has changed and all my other friends have stayed the same. I don't know why but it's made me feel so lonely and slightly depressed. And that's not who I am at all, i'm usually happy all of the time but it's been getting me down lately. I don't want to stop seeing my old friends, because they're my best friends, but they are not into the same things as me.

Please help...xoxo

Hi,
No matter what happens, your friends are always going to be there for you. You can always spend time with your old friends at some time and then spend time with your new ones later. Ask your old friends if they want to go to the mall or hang out one on one to catch up with the past days. Once you start a conversation, you usually find that things that were forgotten are things you still have in common. Send them hand written letters, those usually hit home the best. Say things like, remember when... and start creating flashbacks. You may be a little depressed because you just need to know that you are spending time with everyone. Im sure if you casually ask 'do you mind if I come with you to.. someplace' they wont mind and you could join in on something they like and visa versa. You could always find something none of your friends have done and have a big get together to do it or to have one big party with old and new friends;everybody included! There are always a ton of things everyone has in common... you just have to discover what they are and pounce on them! Good luck! :)

people do change but you gotta know how to make time with your old friends. its ok if they dont wanna party. party with your new friends once in awhile, then go out with your old friends. do something they enjoy doing...you gotta keep the same balance....they both should be equal..enjoy life!
