Have you ever lost a friend?

[nintendofan85]

Two friends I had stopped being friends with me. The first I lost in 2010 and the second I lost in 2014.
The first I lost I had met in 2008, but it wasn't until the early part of 2009 (the 2008-2009 school year was when I was in 3rd grade, and our friendship started during the second semester) that we became friends. We remained friends until October of 2010, when he told me two months into 5th grade year that he wasn't going to be my friend anymore. We were then on bad terms from 2010 to 2013, and it wasn't until August of 2013 that things got better. They're all right now but they aren't particularly great.
The second I lost had become my friend in 2011. However, while we were really good friends during 6th grade year in 2011-2012 to the point where he was my best friend, we lost contact after the end of the school year in May 2012 and we saw each other only a sparingly few amount of times until the start of 8th grade year in August 2013. Our friendship then improved for a bit at first in 2013, but we never became as close in 2013 and 2014 as we were in 2011 and 2012, and eventually, on a trip with the school band in April 2014 to Atlanta, he pushed me away from his other friends at Six Flags, for reasons unknown (although there have been suspected reasons). During April and May of 2014 things really deteriorated with him. We're on better terms now, but we hardly talk to each other anymore.
One friendship I had to kill off with someone else in March of last year and we had been friends since 2011 as well. It was largely because he was (and still is) mentally ill and his parents, especially his mom, expected me to take care and discipline him, which was impossible. That's the only friendship I've ever ended.
There have been other people I had as friends that aren't my friends anymore, but simply because we lost contact or they moved away.

oh yeah i've lost tons of friends. most were just from drifting apart, but on some occasions the friend moved away and I never saw them again.
i guess i did completely cut out one of my friends for a stupid reason, but i'm not sure if it counted because he was an internet friend ? either way, haven't talked to him for years, lol.

I lost two of my best 'friends' on the same day. Why? I decided not to be friends with them secretly, though I still hang out with one of them:

1. Was friends with them since kindergarten, and I thought I was the one person who treated her the best. She would always tell me about a fandom she's in without shutting up. I cringe everytime she talks about it. She's a bad friend; she doesn't realize the only reason why we were 'friends' is because she would use me for advice for her silly problems. Ex. 1: Asking me to aplogize for her friend for her. If thry got into a fight, she woukd ask me, "Hey, I know she's like 5 feet away from us, but I'm too lazy to apologize, but can you tell her that I'm sorry"? Or, one time she was talking about her family issues, and she started to cry. I told her that I was sorry that she was going through this, gave her a hug, and told her some of my family problems too. Next day, completely ignored me, and told me to leave her alone while she was talking to one of her new, loud, and rude friend of hers. She brushed me off, and didn't care if I was sitting away from her. She never seems to care.

2. The one that I still hang out with, but with mixed feelings. When we were younger, she didn't invite me to her party, because she 'forgot' and didn't want me to come anyways. Would sometimes ignore me too. She called me 'forever alone', and she would always tell me about her 'affair' with another guy, even though the guy said to me multiple times that they were just friends.

Point is, I was too desperate for friends, and still kind of feel lonely today, even with some of my good friends. I felt like some sort of servant, trying every chance to impress them, and I wasted years over trying to make them happy, and apparently, I thought that friendship was like Animal Crossing: you do them favors, compliment them, etc. and they'll slowly become good friends with you. Apparently, life glitched out on me, and those friends acted like as if for years I have done nothing for them.

More than you can count. Moving away, drifting apart, and betrayal are some of the reasons. Aside from family, I have one friend that has actually been in my life since I was little. I've made some good friends I've met online the past year though. I generally tend to keep people at arm's length. Mainly to spare myself from being hurt if that person drifted out of my life.

The most important lost it was this girl i met in 2005 - 2007

We we're friends...then i liked her, she liked me too but then she stopped liking me
I kept liking her til 2014 - 2015 , we didn't talked to each other since 2012

Then we never talked and i thought i would never see her again
I see her again in December 2015, we talk , we laugh and suddenly in April of this year we get into a fight through WhatsApp (mostly influenced by other friends)

Don't talk to each other again

July 2016: I ask to one of her best friends to help me to do a apologize sign for her but the girl didn't bring my markers til this month, i never prepared what i was going to say and my parents prohibited me to talk to her on this month...

2005/07 - 2015 :T

No, but a lot of people talk about losing me as a friend even though we were never friends to begin with, funnily enough.

I've lost a lot of actual friends simply from them disappearing. One in particular I remember may not actually be with us anymore, and that kinda haunts me from time to time.

 

[LinkToTheWorld]

Yes, sadly. Was an extremely close friend....have no idea what happened between us really. Started going downhill when I became unwell a couple of years ago, not sure if it just upset her too much with everything that was going on or if there was another reason. We went from talking every single day for 2 years to talking now and then every few days, to now, when we don't talk for weeks or months at a time.

 

[Alienfish]

Yeah, but she was really abusive and a stalker to literally everyone around her so that was for the good.

And some I just drifted away from I mean sometimes that happen if you have too different ideas/tastes or just don't really get along in the end I guess.

 

[Heyden]

plenty, online and irl but tbh idc and usually just move on. i still try to talk to them tho bc im like that

 

[HeyImDashie]

I used to be friends with this seemingly nice, innocent girl but I soon realised she was a frequent liar. She entered our group of my 2 (real) friends and it was all good until she started to spread rumors about us. This went on for almost 4 years! In the end we ditched her and now we just ignore her like we don't know her. Most of the time we play around and pretent to believe her stupid lies which is pretty funny. Right now she's a bit of a tattletale and snitch, but that's her problem I guess. Even my parents hate her!

On the last day of school we're gonna tell her how we really feel so yeah, it's not that much of a loss, she was a fake friend anyway.

I've also lost two other really good friends because one moved outside of England and the other moved somewhere else here but far away from the school I go to. I don't see them much but I have their numbers etc.

I'm sure the majority of the population has lost friends along the way. But I definitely have, my first best friend was too controlling (this was when I was about 8), my second best friend, well I guess we had similarities but too many differences and we've just gone our separate way, my third best friend didn't allow me to have a different opinion to hers and got offended and started disputes if it was different, my fourth (and most recent) was again, too controlling, blocked me on Facebook because I tagged someone in a status so she got jealous, got jealous I had gotten a boyfriend yet she had one and I was so happy for her despite her not being happy for me. So overall, I think I'll just stick to cats. :")

My very best friend that I've known since we were kids died in a house fire.

 

[Alienfish]

and as for online people.. yeah some because of their making **** up and blocking me and some because we probably drifted apart which is easy happening if you don't talk on a regular basis

 

[moonford]

My very best friend that I've known since we were kids died in a house fire.

My condolences, I could never imagine losing a friend like that. ;__;

Rest in peace.

 

[Liamslash]

Way too many school friends, one of my old best friends moved to glasgow when I was younger. I have other friends that just had other interests and didn't get along with me.

 

[MissLily123]

Yes. I've lost a friend. About a year and a half ago now. I just lost a classmate a few weeks ago. But yeah, I've lost a friend.

 

[debinoresu]

HELL yea ive lost friends

first: was an avid liar and didnt want to be my friend anymore, lied her way out instead of being honest, hurt me more than she couldve

second: big mess. the whole thing

 

[Antonio]

I lost my friend in walmart, does that count?

 

[nerdatheart9490]

I've lost most of my friends. We simply grew apart during college. Now that we're done with college, people are starting to move away. We can't get together every week like we did growing up. My best friends moved away. One to another state, the other to another country earlier this week.

The only interesting story I have to tell is when I lost my best friend in elementary. I laughed at a "yo mamma" joke someone made about her mom. She flipped out, pushed me, and had her mom scream at me for a long time. Then she "anonymously" bullied me for a while by writing on the bathroom stalls that I did sexual things with the principal. It was all very petty. But she was a bad friend. She constantly stole from me, lied to me, and used me. While I was sad to lose my friend at the time, I got over it rather quickly and realized that it was for the best.
