Lonely with an abundance of friends.

0

I don’t really know what to do right now. I have this great group of friends and I love them dearly but I don’t like them anymore, does that make sense?
Some of them grew into completely different people and don’t really talk to me anymore which I understand, they’re different now. But the people I’m always with are really grand friends and I feel like I’m the worst friend for them since I never want to be with them.
I might sound really rude and naive but I feel terrible because I prefer being alone, I don’t even miss them much.
Advice?

I know how you feel. I've been there before several times. If you don't prefer their compny then don't be in their company. Go where you will be happy. Don't hesitate for a second if you know you'll be happier moving on.

Perhaps you all just grew apart. Plus, I know I like being alone--too bad it can actually kill you if you're alone for too long, ugh. So I just deal with it now, but once I get into my room, I shut the door, lock it, and listen to music, getting some alone time. It's not like I despise my friends though. I say, you can move on and perhaps find new friends? Or you can slowly distance yourself. I could say talk to them, but people usually don't take that kind of thing easily. I know how you feel. But just do whatever makes you happy, because in the end, that's all that matters. Be honest with yourself and with them and hopefully, all will be well :)

I have had so many friends that I kind of just drifted away from- and it's sad, because they were great friends, but over time interests change and they get new friends and you get new friends and it all works itself out. I personally know what it's like to want to be alone, I didn't usually want to hang out with any friends in particular- but trust me, that can change over time. It did for me, at least. Look, if you think you're drifting, let yourself drift. You don't necessarily need a huge confrontation with them, just try talking to some new people, if you feel like it- and stay friends with them just maybe not so close. I hope that helps.

People grow, people change, that is the way of things. Don't be sad to find that you yourself are growing and are indeed growing out of friendships you have had for a very long time. Friends will come in and out of your life frequently some will stay in your life through-out. The close ones, the ones who you enjoy spending time with and do not grow out of, you will meet these along the way. Never feel guilty for pursuing wherever life is taking you. You must Love life and strive to be Happy.Shaman.
