you loose touch with your friends? i rarely talk to some of my friends. How can u salvage a friendship? Me and my best friend are slowly drifting apart. We always say that we will be friends forever. but lately she has been hanging out with other people more, rather than me. and on the myspace account, there is no mention of me! what can a person do... has anyone had this happen to them before?

this happened to me last year. my biggest advice is to not lose this friend if you really care about them. Make every effort to be nice to them and ask them to hangout with you. If after trying very hard they still ignore you, or are still drifting away from you, maybe you aren't destined to be friends forever. As you get older, you change and maybe you guys aren't as close as you used to be. I would still try to hang out with them occasionally so you dont loose their friendship.

A friend is a friend when she knows all of your faults and funny little quirks and still wants to be your friend anyway ,,,,, If they are truly friends then time and distance or moving in different circles can't change that ,,,, If you are loosing a friend or you think you are then you should reexamine your friendship to begin with ,,,, Maybe this person isn't the friend you thought she is ,,,, Always remain willing to talk to her when she contacts you and of course be civil towards her ,,,,, What she does or how she handles this situation is up to her ,,,,, you have no control over a situation when you aren't in a position to dictate terms ,,,, Just because she's moving in a different circle right now doesn't mean anything either ,,,,, Just be patient and give it some time ,,,, see what happens ,,,,,

I am in the same situation. If you guys are really 'best friends' you guys may end up not talking for 10 years,but still having that trust&love in each other that friends have. Don't beg her to be your friend,though. It takes two to make a friendship. When whatever friends she's been hanging out with don't do as much as you would do for her, she'll realize how much she needs you. She doesn't have to mention you on MySpace for you to know she loves you. As long as you and her know, it's all that matters. Try talking to her. Ask her what is going on. And if she doesn't come back, she was never your 'best friend'.

Being best friends is not constantly living every nmoment with another person.
That is the best way to lose a friend.
Respect your friend's need for space and to do other things which you may not be a part of.
Same thing happens with marriages and love affairs....just because someone links with you, does not mean they have to do and share everything with you.
That is invasive and very controlling...and having to report everything to someone is a total pain.
Friends are like sunshine that warms, not cages that capture and hold.

I found this after college, all going to seperate universities.
Theres really nothing for it but to be proactive. They're your friends so contact them! Give them a call, e-mail or arrange to meet somewhere/somewhen.

if you guys have the best wishes for each other it should not matter....there is a time and place for everything and everyone...
drop her an email or give her a ring and catch up with her...sometimes its hard to KIT with all of your friends...

It's a part of life.
Growing up most of the time will mean growing apart.
Good Luck
