Friendship Losses and making new ones (college)?

Ok, so I used to be friends with many people, but now it seems as if they don't ever want to hang out. For example, one of my friends just left for Chicago and the other for Miami but did not say bye and I wrote on their facebook wall s and they did not respond, even though in the past they have written miss you or called me or instant messaged me. Another friend who goes to school in D.C. used to call me all the time, even when he was in college last year and I was home. But, now our conversations are awkward and tedious. He even asks 50 million times what I've been up to....I mean, c'mon, I told you what I've been up to 20 times in this conversation so far. Some other friends seem as if I'm on their own time, like if they're lonely they want to talk to me. Now with college coming up in less than a week, I'm extremely scared of not making friends. Why are they acting the way they are, what can I do about it, and how can I make new friends?





Thanks =)

You should be old enough to know how to make friends by now.
Reply:they have moved on, you must also. you will make new friends, be yourself, friendly and outgoing... it will definitely happen.


In life when people move away they know they are starting on a new journey, just as you will this fall and it won't seem to matter, trying to keep in touch... wait and see.....

Reply:Some friendships are only meant to last a little while. You and your HS friends will be going through a lot of changes, and chances are they are gearing up to let go of most of their old friends before they head off to college.





It's okay to let friends go. I promise, you will make soooooo many friends at college yourself, that all of what you are talking about will not even almost matter in a year or two. And then you will see them again sometime when you are all home for the holidays and it will all be water under the bridge.
Reply:Unfortunately, people come and go into your life for a reason. And this is one of them. Leaving your life behind high school can be a pretty scary and exciting at the same time.





Friends come and go like a season like I said before. There will be a very few ones that will stay behind the ones you could count on as true friends.





Life does get in the way sometimes when we're so caught up in everything. We often neglect other friendships too.





It's not your fault... As time progress, people *DO* change and there's nothing wrong with that. You will eventually lose that special connection with your friends. It's time to move on and make new ones.





Life is about adventure! :)





Since you're about to enter college, how about signing up in clubs depending what you're interested in.

Reply:This happened to me as well. TONS of friends in highschool, lost a lot in college. But I'm still friends with my best friend from highschool.
Reply:Seems many of your friends are busy getting on with their lives. On a brighter note, think of it as they are going towards their destiny(lol) and you should too. People change, and perhaps they have met new friends. Once you start working, this is probably gonna get worse. Then think about how you made friends with those who are your best friends? How did you build up friendships that used to have written miss you or called you or instant messaged you?
Reply:Some times people just drift apart no matter how close you are. My friend of 15 years and I have drifted apart, and every one I used to email, call, and what not are doing about the same thing your friends are doing, so I said fine and have made some new friends on and off line. Don't worry about not making friends. You should instead look forward to meeting new people and making new friends. All it takes any more is a quick hello how are you and before long you'll be having longer and longer conversations with those people who want to be your friend. At least that's how it worked for me when I went to college any way. Good luck to you!
