    So i found out that 3 of my friends (or at least i thought they were) were avoiding me this summer.

    They have blocked me on msn and facebook and they have been online all the time, they were avoiding me all summer!

    i just dont know what to do and i dont think they realize how bad i feel.

    i have a lump in my throat as i write this LOL

    what do you guys 'n' gals think?
     
  2. I think it's dumb that they're avoiding you. Did they say why they were avoiding you?

    Apparently they are tired of the way i act.
    this is a quote from the
    "The gay act. The BFF stuff. The random times of friends and not friends."
     
  4. Isn't how you act just you being you though?

    Hi there. Sorry to hear that your friends have been avoiding you. Given what you have said, and I know it can be hard but maybe you have to reevaluate your friendship with them and try to make some new friends, who will accept you no matter how you act. Friends should not make you feel this way.

    I'm sure you will be able to make new friends and get to know people who will really accept you.

    Ok they went about it the wrong way, but they have all right to abandon the friendship on their terms.
    Not that you're in the wrong.
    It's just that friends come and go.
    Fact of life.

    (im feeling ill so the pessimism follows)

    Time to find some new friends. Try not to hate them too much - life's tough enough without having to drag the burden of resentment around. Treat it as though they moved away, to a place without internet, and turn your attention towards finding some better people to hang out with.

    aww im sorry just forget them them.
    if they dont like you how you are then they arent worth your time
     
  10. This happened to me this summer. Except that they were "so damn busy" they couldn't reply to my messages. I just told myself that some friends are not permanent and life would give me an opportunity to make new ones soon. I'm really sorry they did this to you. I hope you feel better (*hug*)

    Have you tried to call them if you know there phone numbers? sometimes it might be easier just to discuss how they feel about the whole thing. Have a talk with them. And try to keep it just a talk without shouting or swearing.
    Or maybe they just need time to get used to you being gay
    Good luck. I'm sure they'll come round eventually

    Are people who can say things about you like that really people you wish to call your friends?

    I am sure you'll find people who love you for you and you will never regret the decision to walk away from these so called "friends"

    Good luck

    I'm really sorry this happened to you.
    Have you ever confronted them on why they were doing this?

    I don't think they are the right "friends" for you.
    You deserve better and should find new friends who respect you enough to actually say when something is bothering them.
    Avoiding something is obviously a coward's way if dealing with it.
    I wish the best for you.
