Friendship Advice

My best friend recently moved and she and I have grown closer in some areas and grown apart in others. It's been really hard. I don't always feel like I'm being the best kind of friend I could be and I don't always feel like I am being as suportive as I should be. Does anyone know what I mean and if so, how do/did you deal with this sort of thing?

I understand what you mean. I've been shy most of my life, so my social skills are not that good.

My shyness goes in and out. It's like a graph and at one point I'm super shy and then the next year I'm miss popularity. I'd like to just take one and stick with it.

if you are still in contact with your firend then let them know how you are feeling and see if you are doing all that you can.....and i am also a shy person until i get to know the person......but i just try to be myself and it seems to work most times!!

Actually, I'm going through a similar situation with my friends. I moved in January, and since then none of my friendships have been the same. I always feel as if my friends are somehow mad at me for moving and leaving them.

You and your friend need to talk about how you each feel, because chances are she's not feeling so great about the way things are between you, either.

Good luck. I hope you and your friend fix things up between you.

Well things in general have been complicated lately, but you're right. I should just tell her how I feel. Thanks everyone. I mean, I've made new friends and everything, but I still don't feel welcome anywhere. I feel like I'm imposing myself on everyone else's lives and I'm not really welcome to do so.

every time one of my good friends move away we always say that we will keep in touch, but after awhile you end up not talking to them again

it depends a lot on how good a friend they are. I have a mate in another city about 3000 kilometers away. I see him about once or twice a year, haven't seen him since November but we still have great chats and when we do meet up, we have soooo much time, werd up Jono!
