I've been thinking

so i’ve been thinking a lot on how i had abandoned some of my friends from pri sch after graduation, and i met some friends who i now realised are really toxic, they talk behind my back and a friend of mine told me that they said i talk too much about myself. now i can’t stop thinking about it and i kind of regret losing my old friends because they were really nice people, i just got influenced. i want to talk to them and hope they understand but i think i caused them enough pain already, and i don’t think there’s anyone i want to talk to now to rant, but based on experience talking to strangers just helps, because unbiased opinions is the best feedback i can get. what do i do?? i have friends but i don’t feel very close to them…

Hi @justagirl! thanks for sharing :slight_smile:
It seems that you’ve been feeling quite regretful about your primary school friendships that you’ve cut off. You’re definitely not alone in feeling this way because there are times when I regret cutting off some people simply because I was too busy and or scared they would not reciprocate :smiling_face_with_tear::smiling_face_with_tear: and it hurts to think about the what ifs and potentials not explored…. but I think it is not too late to reconnect with them! You could give them a text and consider catching up with each other? though this is definitely easier said than done but I think it’s worth giving a shot :slight_smile:

You also mentioned that your current friendships are rather unfulfilling and you ‘don’t feel very close’. Finding the ‘right people’ can be quite hard and honestly it also depends on luck and fate haha but just be patient, be open and kind to the people you meet, and trust that the world will do it’s thing! You haven’t met all the people in your life that you’re going to love :slight_smile: there’s time and you will meet them eventually​:heart::heart:

Feel free to share more hehe

I didn really keep in touch with my pri sch friends either, becos at the time i was socially inept. Is it becos at that stage u feel more of the pureness of friendship than now? Im a bit confused, u said those who talked behind u are they the current friends or who? @justagirl

No one likes such critiques behind the back, in sch i was targetted by some bully also. And my parent also :angry: best is not to know what they say coz if they cant communic properly they cowards. Try to focus on the positive ppl in yr life now
