Friends and time to let go

Posted on 08/21/08, 05:35 pm
I am trying to figure out if I should say something to a
friend who all of a sudden never has time to get together.
Do you say-we have drifted off in diffent directions and good luck.

I think it is good to have a few good friends and be a good friend


What do others think about freinds and when to ket them know
goodbye and goodluck

    Personally, I'm of a mind that I just let people do their thing. If they are too busy for me at the moment, I don't call them on it. I let them do what they have to do, and I'm there for them when they have more time.
    It may really hurt their feelings if you were to say something to them. I would occupy my time with other people and/or things, but not put pressure on that person right now. They may be going through difficulties right now. If anything, you might reach out to that person and ask them if there's something you can do for them. I don't think a person can ever have too many friends. Some are closer than others, but I'd never let anyone go, just give them the space they need without cutting them out of your life.
    People do drift off in different directions, that's a part of life, but when you come together again, you'll have more to talk about. I'm sure she'd miss you if you left the friendship completely.
    You're a valuable person and she'd miss you.

    I do all the calling
    she does ever want to get together- lives 3 miles away
    I have not seen her in months-
    So I don't want to seem like I am a friend when I feel like I have
    been dumped

    Maybe you should just not call then and see what happens.Maybe she's assuming you will always be the one to call.If you don't it might prompt her to act.Then if she doesn't just tell her you've really missed her and have worried that something was wrong.Hope it works out for you.It's hard to lose a friend.
