The relationships with my best friends are starting to fizzle out. I try to text them and it takes them hours to text back if at all. I don't think they hate me, but they're all out enjoying their lives and I'm still here. I've tried to make new friends but I can't connect with them like I did with my best friends. What do I do? I feel so isolated..... :cry:

To some extent, I think it's normal for people to "phase out" of each other's lives after awhile. If you've been growing apart and growing into different people, it can take a little extra effort (on both ends) to stay in touch and stay close. Most people have no trouble meeting new friends, so to them it seems like no big deal. Not so to people who aren't regularly making new ones.

Any idea what's different about the new people you're meeting?

I'm not sure. It takes a lot for me to consider someone my friend. Maybe I'm keeping people at arms lenthg for some psychological reason?
