I met up with some friends recently after a few months apart and I was quite nervous about the catch-up anyway. I still think they're great people but we don't really click in the same way any more. I think some of our friendships might have just been out of convenience and I only really feel close to about two people in the group and they're the only people I can see myself staying in touch with.
I know it's natural for people to change and I think that's all that's happened - we've outgrown each other. I am sad about it but I accept it and I just want the best for them because at the end of the day, I still care about them a lot.
I'm just wondering where to go from here regarding making new friends. I'm doing a foundation course before uni so I'm still at home but making friends is so hard when everyone already has established friend groups and isn't looking for anyone new, especially when they're only around temporarily. I also realised I'm not good at making friends - people seem to click very quickly and sometimes it surprises me because I always worry about being overfamiliar or oversharing or being inappropriate with someone who is still quite new to me.
Any advice is welcome!
Put the internet to work for you.
