    Making a friend, a really good friend is difficult. That's why "they" (whoever "they" are :laugh: ) say that if you have 1-2 good close friends in your life, you are doing good.

    I don't know you, so if this doesn't apply, please ignore. But just make sure you aren't coming off as too needy or clingy. I have come across people who want friends so bad that they overdo it, and it makes me want to shy away from them.. Don't force it so much. If this is not you at all, then keep looking.

    Also, don't let people take advantage of you. One of my favorite quotes from Maya Angelou - "Never make someone a priority when all you are to them is an option."There should be a nice give and take in a relationship. If you are always giving, giving, giving, but never getting anything out of it, it may be time to draw back from that person.

    Anyway, just a couple thoughts from moi.

    ETA: in reading your post again & some of the comments: yeah, it's normal for friends you were once thisclose with to sometimes drift away due to changes in our lives. Love the suggestion from one to find an activity you love to meet to new people.

    Sounds like they don't really like you.
