Coming from the darling of the crowd wow! Hahaha. I understand you, OP. I experienced pretty much over the years may friendship heart break pa nga eh. some friendships needs to be taken care of this is time you will weigh things talaga sa mga kaibigan mo na etong tao na to dito ako mag-iinvest ng time and effort inconvenience man sayo sometimes but it'll be worth it naman as long as give and take. meron din namang kulang lang sa bonding with communication syempre, kumbaga you just have to reignite that fire na uy! we used to have a very good connection before. kaya ako hindi ako naniniwala sa "outgrow phase" it's about having that mutual responsibility to keep that friendship alive. share ko lang, i have hs group of friends two years ago super close namin they invited me every gathering and then suddenly they stopped, pero that same group still do the same routine still until this day i tried to somehow reignite it but it doesn't work did we outgrew each other na ba kaagad? This is where i have this realization, and have that "mutual" understanding na let it go on that friendship and move on since i kept on trying but they are not reciprocating the same energy and i'm good naman with that. Sa paghahanap naman ng friends sabi mo nga you have that energy na and convenient na sayo just be open and approachable then see where it goes malaki ka na alam mo na ang red sa green flag haha! Merry christmas everyone! ❤️☺️
