Friendship
So awhile ago. I dumped my friends, due to isssuea I had at a party. Along with them making me feel like I do not belong. And I was happy with my decision. Until today when my boyfriend was busy. And I would used to be able to call/text them. However I can’t. I have other friends on the same wavelength as me, however we aren’t that close. Should I just let it be or try to pathetically apologize to them?
If you're feeling the absence of your friends and the bond you once shared, I think it’s a good idea to say you're sorry. I would suggest reaching out to them and acknowledging that it’s been some time since you last connected, and express your regret for not keeping in touch.
It sounds like you’re navigating some complex feelings about your friendships. It’s completely normal to feel lonely after making a tough decision like distancing yourself from friends, especially when you’re used to relying on them for support. It’s great that you have other friends who resonate with you, even if you’re not as close right now.
If you’re feeling the urge to reconnect with your former friends, it might be worth reaching out to them. A genuine apology can go a long way, especially if you acknowledge the issues that led to the fallout. It shows maturity and a willingness to mend things. However, only you can gauge whether that’s something you truly want to do.
Take some time to reflect on what you want from these friendships and whether reconciling feels right for you. It’s okay to prioritize your well-being and surround yourself with people who make you feel valued. Ultimately, the decision should come from a place of wanting connection rather than feeling pressured to apologize. Trust your instincts about what feels best for you.
This is a safe space to share what's on your mind and to get support from real people.
