I dont have friends anymore.

I've always been a loner and at times it's hard but i've always been okay with it. However, lately i've been feeling incredibly alone. I have these "friends" whom ive known for a long time but lately they're changing. Maybe both parties myself included, are changing. I can feel my ego, i guess if you want to call it that, melting away and my ideas of life are changing for the better, but theirs are getting lazier and self centered. I feel the disconnect and i'm having trouble accepting what to do about this. Do i cut the ties and move on or just accept what they're becoming even though i can't understand. I have a wonderful girlfriend whom i love an immense amount but i need friends as well. I guess i'm just feeling apathetic, maybe sorry for myself but i just feel like they're not accepting of my changing nature. A few months ago they were like i am and now they just turned into assholes...

People change. I don't have any close friends anymore. I have a big ego and if people want to get close to me they have to work at it. I generally won't let people get close to me. I have lots of friends but none I consider close atm. Some that want to be but I don't allow them. I prefer the company of myself these days.

It's okay to not have a ton of friends, but it seems like you know that. It's also okay to grow away from old friends. My boyfriend and I are basically best friends but we also have friends too. We have some individual friends but mostly mutual friends and couple-type friends. We hang out with our older friends on occasion but not as much because that connection isn't there. But there are TONS of people out there, there are bound to be other people who you can meet and become friends with!

I had to cut ties with quite a few people within the past few years because people changed. I felt like a lot of the people I was hanging out with were basically jerks, didn't care about anyone except themselves, etc. Not my type of people. I ditched those people, I don't need negative people like them in my life when I can be surrounded by positive people, and I have made new friends since then. Some people I don't talk to *at all*, other people I have just kinda grown apart with and I see them from time to time. But that type of thing is fine. You can grow apart from people, you can stop being friends with people. There is no shortage of people around, you will meet others, you will make new friends
