I can't even thing of names for these subject thingies

I feel like I'm losing touch with the few friends I have. I barely talk to anyone anymore and I wonder what I can do to stay friends.....or if I should even bother. Things seem to be going good for them without me, so I guess I shouldn't hang around where I'm not needed or wanted.

I know what you mean here. My IRL friend moved to go to college and she rarely ever acknowledges my existance... Except at times like when she's asking me to go to a con...when, if she was paying attention she'd know/remember I have /no/ money, there's no way I could leave here, and my mom's in the hospital. Some years before this I was REALLY depressed, to the point that I practically sent her a suicide note and she didn't bat an eyelid over it...all she wanted to do was keep talking about how cool she thought her boyfriend was. (of course I'm not THAT depressed now though) x.x Oyi for the self absorbed sorts.

Though I'm not sure if that's what Smurgen's going through. Though, it's possible he feels that way with two of his friends going through matters of large proportion at the same time. I've got my mom in the hospital, so I keep having to be gone most the time...so I'd be one of those friends. Goodness knows it's not that I'm self absorbed...or at least I certainly /hope/ I'm not, considering how many times I've been the casualty of someone else's self absorbedness.

I'm not always available, but I try to help Smurg out when I can...which is far more than I can say for most the friends I had in the past.

I had a friend of mine that simply used me for his own ends, and wasn't even hiding the fact either. He even said that he does things for himself and nobody else, because he pretty much couldn't trust anyone. Self-Abosrbed is another way to put it, but it's such a black and white phrase and too much of a generalisation.

People drift apart... it's a common problem with life, mainly when people are in good relationships with others actually.
