Yeah...unfortunately a lot of people drift apart when they no longer live near each other and it sounds like your friend is moving on. Dont take it to personal, shit happens and you will make new friends at your new college (congrats BTW, tho I will warn you this sucks).
If you want friends to game with there may be a gaming club at your school or you'll meet people just by going to class. That's how I meet my new gaming friends!
Im sorry you lost a friend, but think of it as moving on to bigger and better things!
Yes, with the signals he’s giving it’s clear he’s no longer interested esp with distance people naturally drift apart. It’s hard but I think it’s something you eventually come to terms with. You’ll meet new people along the way so I’d say don’t get too hung up on him and just move on, if he wants to, then in the future he’ll be the one to reach out. I feel like it’s never a good idea to force connection
Sadly, yes, but don’t beat yourself up about it. Especially leaving high school, everyone splits up and changes. I'm also someone who has a hard time making friends. I've been there where I faded from my friends' lives because they started to expand their own, and as someone who doesn't make friends easily, it's always harder on that side. Your friend probably doesn't even realize that you are having these emotions because he's building up the next chapter in his life and once important things are being clouded by new things coming up. Don't let yourself be down. You will find people who will be there for you as you will for them. And who knows? Maybe he will reminisce and make an effort to get that friendship back. I will pray for you.
So like I don’t have many friends but like I have a friend who I was pretty good friends with in high school and now I try to keep up with him even though we go to different colleges but he seems like distant and uninterested to hang out at all when texting. I’m always the one who contacts him first to hang out or talk. He even ignores my messages when I just hit him up with “hey, I got a few hours, wanna play for a bit” he see it and then ignores it. (It is often left on delivered, not even read). Like I’d be fine if he said sorry busy or sorry super dead tired. And I’d be like ok cool. But nothing!? It ant even like I text him often. I have another friend who at least texts back when I ask a simple question and will leave me on read when the conversation ends. Like I wanna hang out and game when-ever we can since we literally never see each other anymore. Is this a one-sided friendship?
