possibly losing one of the few friends i have

Post Reply New Topic

so we used to talk alot and play games for over a year. then after that year he's stopped talking to me.....completely. he'll only ever talk to me if i talk to him first and even then he takes forever to respond to messages and only talks for a little while. i dont understand, ive been friends with another person for 4 years and we still talk regularly and play games. what happened with this guy?

It could be that he's busy with other things in his life along with going into a new direction. It may not have anything to do with you at all.

its been like this for about a year and a bit now.....how long can a person be busy? he goes to uni, but so does my other friend that i spend alot of time with, and he's doing perfectly fine there.

Maybe he's going in a different direction then.

thats sad....i need all the friends i can get haha

I can empathise with this: I am 18 and I had a great friend for a few months recently, we used to talk a lot in our free lessons and play videogames online when we got home, mostly just the two of us, sometimes with other people we knew. We both have Asperger's Syndrome (although we didn't talk about it) but now he is at university and making loads of new friends and I am at a different university and I have no friends there.

I know how sad it feels to lose a friend. It's happened to me more than once, but most of them were due to me moving away and not keeping in touch.

I know what you mean and it's always hard to let go of people who we thought were our friends. It's even harder because some of these people are really confusing. On the contrary, I don't think it has anything to do with Aspergers but rather a part of life. I talked to someone who is an NT and they told me that a close friend had no time for them when they went off to different colleges.

E.G. They were both home on college break and the other person kept insisting they were too busy to associate.

Friends end up moving into a new phase or chapter of their lives and drift apart from you. Again, that happened to me on a few times.
