I feel I’ve lost all my friends…

(if anyone takes the time to read this, god bless you haha)

In high school I had a HUGE circle of friends that I called my best. We would do everything together and go everywhere and I was so happy. Two of my friends decided to go to the same college as me and we thought it would be amazing. I didn’t want to room with them because I thought it would stop me from making friends, but the other two roomed together. Right away things started getting awkward fast. Slowly, they would stop waving to me, and they never wanted to hang out when I called them. I felt like I was the only one interested in doing anything with them and they didn’t care at all. So I started to get mad. And I know I was wrong, but I started to talk bad about them because I’m a girl, and girls do this sometimes. So I told one of the girl’s ex boyfriends about how mad I was. A few weeks later the ex boyfriend calls me and says he got a letter from the girl and it criticized me calling me a loser because i’m not a frickin alcoholic like she is. So we started to make fun of the letter, publicly. She found out, and called me and said all these insults and told me to basically die and if she ever sees me in person she’ll kill me… And I didn’t get to say one word. So after I stopped balling my eyes out, I called her back and tried to explain why I was upset with her in the first place and she just wouldnt hear any of it…

So now I see her every so often and she’ll just try to not make eye contact with me, and we basically act like we don’t even know eachother.

And what hurts the most now is that over breaks, all our friends get together, but she has basically ruined my name to everyone, so few people want to see me, or they just dont include me anywhere anymore so things arent awkward…

I am just so distraught by all this, and I don’t feel like I really should apologize, because I meant what I said, and she’s taking no blame for how she made me feel. I’m okay with losing her as a friend, but I just wish I could have the others back…

My family tells me that if they are my true friends they’ll see the truth and stay with me, but it depresses me more that all the memories of my past are with people who I guess arent really my friends after all…

I just needed to vent I suppose… isn’t really a question or anything.

It really is just change, it sucks a lot a lot, but you’ll be okay i promise. If they’r REALLY worth your time talk to them, don’t apologize but talk about other things, try to catch up on their life now, IF not, then just make other friends. As much as i tried to stay friends with my Bests from High school i couldn’t, ihave like four people i still considering my FRIEND form high school. Change happens, it sucks, and its hard, but don’t hold on to the people of your past that aren’t worth it, friendship should be easy, if it isn’t then just let it go. It isn’t worth your tears and hurting.

I think if you cant tell your friends how you really feel they are not your true friends. All you can do is look for friends in other places. I found out with many of my past friends I couldn’t tell them what i really thought.

I’m sorry people can be crul especially girls! Things will hopefully die down soon and that way perhaps you guys can get it behind you so things won’t be that awkward. Can you still hang out with other people if she’s not around? Change is a hard thing to go through but if your really ready to work things out (not saying be friends again or anything) talk to them. At least that way you can have an understanding and be civil. Best of luck to you dear!! xoxo

College can do a lot to a person. Its true - I’m a much different person now than when I startetd college. It seems like your distraught over this person because you still care about her because of all the good times you had back in hs. But maybe what you should relaize is that she could be a totally different person now that back then. But none of that has anything to do with you. You are worth much more than to be treated like **** by an ex-friend. Find some new friends - Im sure if you look you can find some that’ll stick with you for a lifetime!

I relate well with you. I admire your will to want to work things out. I lost pretty much all my friends from high school and honestly.. I haven’t been able to find any new ones. I haven’t hung out with anyone for nearly a year. It’s pathetic, but I hope you at least have found some new friends that are true and mean the world to you. Good luck, I sure know I need it lol.

none of u were probably sincere to eachother. u might have got on well then, not becos u liked each other but cos u had things in common. it happens all the time. we lose some frienships and never get it back . u just have to move on and find new friends and this time be open and sincere, don’t gossip and don’t pretend otherwise u won’t have the frienship u need.

Well, believe me, I know how you feel. A very similar situation happened to me. But first, you sort of need to look at it from THEIR perspective, also. Not just your’s. That is, if you want to fully understand the dynamic that’s playing out.

They’re girls. Which means emotions are much higher, and girls tend to assume more. You didn’t want to room with them. Despite the good intentions you had for doing so, what do you think that said to THEM? Think about it…And then for you to publicly speak bad about them when they reacted in a, no offense, pretty predictable way, really wasn’t good either. You should’ve just let them go. I know it hurts, but you have to. You should’ve spoken to people who don’t know them if you wanted to vent. I’m sure over time they would’ve come around. But regardless, it’s college! It’s a chance to meet NEW people. Not hang with the old.

I’m sorry your reputation has been “tarnished”, per say. But you have to learn to get through that.

I know where you’re coming from. In my hometown, they split our high schools up my SENIOR. YEAR. And ALL of my friends, and I seriously mean ALL of them, went to the high school opposite from me. They soon started forgetting about me and inviting me to less events (even when I got a car and didn’t need a ride. i couldve drove myself)…It got me angry more and more. But I had to supress it. Then I went to prom with my friend whos a notorious tease. I brought her to my schools prom which meant i had no other friends there but her. So, naturally, I was bound to stick to her like glue. She eventually dumped me and I got upset. After about an hour I got tired of it and told her I wanted to go home. THen I got to school and everyone ignored me. She told everyone I screamed at her and ****. And I lost every single friend minus my best friend because of it. I was losing them anyhow, though. So, it wasn’t too big of a deal. But it just sucks…

So my summer into college has been ****. But you have to learn to deal with it.
