losing friends is one of the things i struggle with the most. especially when i'm not even sure what happened but i just have to sit here not knowing bc asking feels intrusive and weird.

the last time it happened & i did muster the courage to ask, the person just pretended like we were never rly friends at all, which is somehow worse than not knowing
Sometimes people just drift apart and both people are left wondering what happened. Sometimes people are forgetful. Sometimes something happens and they get caught up in life. Being online has made people so available to each other, but somehow so distant at the same time.
I have a friend I used to talk to daily. Now I hardly hear a peep - but when I do it's because they're living life now. It's a bittersweet thing in those cases. I'm happy that they're enjoying life and in a good place, but I also miss talking to them.
1000% this. It sucks. Every time I lose someone I connected deeply with online, I inevitably get super paranoid of every other friendship I have. Are any of them real, or just "parasocial"? Couple that with a lack of closure and it just eats you inside. Like breakup pains. It's genuinely awful. 😞
