Can you make friends with new ones instead?

I mean some people change, he might really remember but for some odd reasons he does not try to admit it.

So lessen worrying about this person and make some new set of people to be with.

People have selective memories. You can tell him some of the good memories you had around him, and he’ll appreciate it and also remember you better again.

yup…i’m trying that right now but…
i see him everyday at school and umm…
its hard to….and changing schools is not an option.-reply to:lilies

Does it hurt your feelings that he seems not to remember you?

problem: he’s now hangnging with a bad crowd-
-cutting class(probably drinking and smoking too cause of
who he’s with)
and its really hard just to talk to him—reply to-michael Leibman

:) Okay then yes i totally get that, so when you see him let him know that you do know him and tell him stuff that makes him remember you. But also, make friends with other people. I hope you are not limiting yourself getting to know one person.

I thought selective memory is what is caused by trauma or brain damage.. Or maybe there are two meanings for this phrase, like when politicians have “selected memory” about whether they ever used drugs or not?

Well… the reason I asked is because he is the one doing weird things that deprive him of your friendship. It sounds unnatural, like a little beyond normal teasing or actual not remembering.

Sorry I replied so late and confusedly. Probably you should do whatever Lilies suggested and everything will work out fine :) (or leave this post open and try to get some more responses.)
