I have a friend of 2 years now, we used to talk on a daily basis. Now it seems that she may have found a new set of friends through a new interest she has - one which i dont really have time to get involved in - she doesn't really call or text me much anymore, i am always the one who needs to initiate now. Shes fine when i do contact her, she talks normally but maybe for not as lonh. it just seems like i'm forgotten about most of the time unless i prompt it.
I dont want to lose her as a friend, but at the same time i do want to tactfully and without sounding needy say something like "hey dont forget about me" or "you've been real distant lately, whats up" or "it seems like you've made some really good friends, but i'd still like to talk often"?
obviously i dont want to sound too needy, or desprate, or get a "well, im busy now" response. But what i do want is for her to realise how i feel and make more of an effort again. My real fear is that shes just busy now, and i need to deal with it.. dont think thats the reaction ill get but its probably true .
would be good to get you're thoughts on this. Am i being needy? should i take a break and see if she misses me and makes more of an effort? I can compete with her new friends, and maybe after 2 years, she'll grow apart from me.
I do miss talking to her every day.
