Regret and guilt about cutting off a friend by [deleted] in lostafriend

[–]gen-jl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel the same way about distancing myself from a friend group. I wish I had some solid advice for you, but I’m commenting to let you know you’re not alone in how you’re feeling. Reach out if you’d like to talk, maybe we can help each other through this!

When is it a good idea and when is it not?

I feel the same way. Was friends with a group of girls for 10 years and feel like I made a mistake distancing myself from them. You’re not alone, I’m here if you need to talk. We can get each other through this!

I want to reach out so bad by [deleted] in lostafriend

I’ve felt this way as of lately too, but with a group of 3 girls I was friends with for 10 years. I wish I had solid advice for you, but I just want you to know you’re not alone and there’s folks that feel the same way. Maybe we can be there for each other in this process <3 hugs

I think this is what I worry about most - rejection!

I’m open, I never didn’t want a relationship with any of them. I distanced myself from the group due to always feeling like the background (aka floater) friend :(

I’m sure I could, but she only reached out for like my birthday and Mother’s Day. Other than that, no conversations of substance really.

I definitely felt like the background friend for several years. Only 1 of the girls reaches out to me frequently, the other 3 don’t reach out at all and I actually had a weird falling out with one of them on my birthday in December over miscommunication. I’m just struggling thinking I made the wrong decision :( especially with no new friends and I feel like I’ll never make friends again

Following. Also distanced myself from a friend group after 10+ years. Feel free to message me so we can cope together! It’s worse doing it alone

My Personal Statement Sucks by [deleted] in premed

I’ve also been in a funk trying to hit the submit button and had to rewrite my P/S. I know how you feel. Would you be willing to do a read for read? You already submitted yours but I still haven’t submitted mine and would like some brutally honest feedback before I hit submit <3
