I have a friend. Interest wise, we're a lot alike, and we vary a bit in personality. I guess that she's pretty much been my best friend for a bit short of a year now. However, recently I've felt strange about her. Not the kind of strange that most people would probably expect towards a teenage boy with a female best friend; I feel kind of like I'm starting to dislike her. A lot. The trigger could be many things, I'd think. Her personality tends to irritate me frequently, regardless of how I try to be a devoted, good friend, she seems to ignore me most of the time, being that she seems to have more friends now. Because I've been friends with her, I've been kind of forced to hang out with her friends, who I guess I'd have to say that I don't like much at all. Severely. Yesterday, I decided to spend the lunch period with another friend of mine, and his friends. They were a lot of fun, and I really enjoyed myself for the entire time. I'm probably going to spend the lunch time there again. Making me feel disrespected or unneeded is a pretty good way to get me to lose interest. Right now my friend seems perfectly content with her other friends, to the point in which she starts to ignore me. I don't think we're going to be friends for much longer. :S Oh, also, a lot of people seem to think we're "dating" which probably also caused me to grow more disdainful of her, due to my, er, interests. :S Aaand, my other friend has been my friend for such a longer amount of time. But yeeahhh, /supertypicalangst
Let ol' Raven give you advice, boy. Judgin' by your reaction, I'd say that it'd be best to break off, y'know? If she starts disrespectin' ya, I don't think that an old man like myself would wanna stay friends with people like that. It'd also be best to clarify whether or not you're datin' her to others, y'know? If you enjoy bein' with yer friends, go ahead n' hang out. Nothin' wrong with breakin' off when ya feel uncomfortable... Especially when you realize it.
It happens, it happened to me years ago when I used to have a friend. Although his personality was a bit annoying, I had to do what I had to do. Just hang out with friends in general, no matter who they are they are your friends. Like us on the forums, you can't leave us and we can't leave you, because you'll be here FOREVER! :derpe: I feel like playing Vesperia now...
I know what you mean, I feel like I'm losing my best friend ever since we were separated into separate classes for our course. Which is the same course but with 3 sets of students with different timetables. This happened due to him being late on his application to continue the course and so he was automatically put into the class that had a spare spot. It must suck for him since he is also separated from his girlfriend who is in my class too. Anyway ever since this I don't get a chance to hang out with him much and he doesn't seem to be making that much effort to keep our friendship intact,. We used to frequently hang out after school and shoot short films and other videos together. In the last 7 weeks we have hung out for a few hours once. This was when I confessed to him how much of a brony I was, I told him about all the fan videos I plan to make and I told him I frequent these forums and basically made my case as to why i'm not crazy. I convinced him to watch the pilot episodes, long before this. But he told me he doesn't get why people like the show, but that he admits it's not as childish as he assumed. So yeah I hope my over the top bronydom isn't driving him away either. He told me he is willing to help me make future videos to do with ponies so I think he's pretty tolerant about it. Anyway he actually skips his classes occasionally that he doesn't like in order to come to our classes that he finds more fun and we get to hang out then. He may do this to see his girlfriend more then to see me though.
Yep. PlayAsia FTW! I've used Raven through all of my Vesperia Playthroughs; and I always left out Yuri. OP Son of a...
Awh, you don't use Yuri? Lol. I'll import Vesperia whenever...I still have Tales of Symphonia 1 / 2 for Gamecube / Wii. I want Tales of Graces and Xillia...
Rather than straight break it off, you might as well drift apart. Who knows, maybe she'll miss you and come to you after a while?
Xillia is on Monday... Maybe you can get that. I don't use Yuri unless I'm in Unknown mode... He's too GDLK. If you want, I can send you my copy... if I can find it. I seem to have misplaced it. On topic... I agree with Aynine... kind of.
I have a friend with completely different interests, but a similar personality, and we get on fine. But yeah, if you don't feel things are going well, then split off from her.
I agree with What testyal said if you feel your drifting apart. You might just want to break it off. I say do it slowly though.
I like you, and ima let you finish, but this isn't a ridiculous romance we're talking about, it's two friends... Unless implied romance. That would make things different. In any case, just let w/e happen, unless people start hatin. If they do, start usual anti-hate routine. If you want to end this fast, walk up to the friend in question, put on your gest Johnny Bravo pose and say the following sacred mantra: "Hey babe! I can tell you and I like the same things: Me!" Then, depending on reaction, sing the troll song or run like hell.
Why break off the relationship or anything, though.... (somewhat a reply to previous posts) I'm just saying, that if it's already breaking apart just let it do so naturally... unless she's being a jerk. I know exactly what you mean... I've currently got a friend very similar to that. We don't share much in intrest or personality though, so that much is different. And the ignoring part... that is pretty annoying, though. If it gets too bad, then technically she wouldn't be a friend so much as an acquaintance, in my opinion. If it gets anywhere near that.... then yes, you may as well end the friendship if you consider it that by then. And the dating part? I know what you mean, that's... sometimes funny, but mainly awkward. Don't blame that on her, though. Best of luck, with whatever you choose...
I don't really blame it on her. It just strongly adds to my feelings on the subject because it makes me feel... Icky. Probably like two "regular" straight guys who people mostly thought were dating and didn't make a big stupid deal out of it, which made the only one who seemed to notice grossed out severely.
