Friendship drifting apart.

Im young and I currently moved from the province Im in. I know im probably too young lurking on sites. But I really need your opinion on this one. Its been probably 2 weeks since I moved. Im really attached to my friends from last school year since I dont have much friends growing up. Ive been really attached to this one guy last year. Am I being unreasonable of being jelous now that this guy is making friends and not checking up on me? We have been inseparable, were two peas in a pod. But now that im far away, im really hurt that were drifting apart no matter how hard i try to keep everything at its place. Im the one constantly reaching out and making things work. Im unclear of my feelings toward him but Im sure is hurt. Hurt as in I will bawl my eyes out for this. I always make sure that he have me to listen to everything about his life. Im there when hes feeling down, he need someone to talk to, and to rant on some things. But as you can see, Im all alone right now and ranting on a site. Please give me some advice, tell me what I need to do to feel better, or what I need to do to resolve this conflict. Im counting on this site since I dont have friends irl. I hope you dont find this shallow since Im young and the content of this rant is not as deep as the others. I think my feeling are still valid so please interact with me.

You're a person. The first step to healing is understanding and learning to accept that it's okay to feel things. Your feelings are valid. But they are just that. Feelings.

Your actions despite and inspite of your feelings, that would show who you are.

Years ago, I came to Similar Worlds to heal from grief. Now, you came here for a different reason. I would advise that there are people here you should be wary of. But there are also some really good ones. I hope you find them.

I think that at your age, it makes sense to think that the ones you have would be your whole world. But let me tell you a secret. It isn't about the people you started the journey with that would count in the end. It's about who would stick around and be there for you in thick or thin. Some people we lose end up coming back. But some don't, and that is okay.
Some people would find you, and some would lose you too. It is life.

As for your friend, the choice is up to you. As it always is because you are the main character in your life. So do not let others hold the reins.

I think he is just living his life. If he finds other people to grow with, it doesn't lessen your worth.
But as a fellow woman, I hope you won't be dependent on him. You are important. Plenty of girls accept minimal effort because they forget their own value, their own worth.

You decide how you are treated by what you accept in the behavior of others towards you. Giving him distance may also make him miss you. If not, that's alright. Find people who would choose you. You deserve that.

So there. :) Hang in there.

It isn't the end of your world. It is but a page on it. Turn the page.

First, you are correct that you are too young to be consumed with the friendship of one young guy or girl. At your age, you should be paying attention to your education and talents and interests for your future and not falling in-love. Friends and people come and go in our lives as we get older, especially when you move...it's part of life and growing up. Try to make new friends where you live now..school...join clubs...etc.
Don't let his friendship make you unhappy or consume your thoughts. Find a hobbie....this is part of life...very normal..move on.

@Midlifemale yeah, I truly made everything about them that I forgot about myself lol. Its never been easy for me to make friends though, so it sucks

This will happen over and over again. People that we are close to retiring one time of my life, often move on with their interest on your own change.
We live in a time where connection with others is often easily lost because it is so easy, to connect to different people. You will have to mourn the loss of your friend. But try to make new ones. This may not be the best place for it
I feel ya

@Dshhh I'll surely try to make new ones. Its hard but I gotta accept it

Your feelings and a couple of bucks will buy you a coffee at McDonalds. Don't put too much meaning in them. They will change.

Everyone you meet is a part of your journey, but not all of them are meant to stay in your life. Some people are just passing through to bring you gifts; either they're blessings or lessons. Everyone you meet is a part of your journey, but not all of them are meant to stay in your life.
