have you ever detached yourself from your long-time friends?

You know, even if you don't want to tell us about your situation i can feel it is very deep. I understand if you detached your self from them. I hope you can be able to find true friends around. I can't give you any advice on this because i have a little knowledge about it, coz i don't usually separate myself from anybody, but you you have a reason. I know your friends will realize it. I hope you and your friends will be okay in the near future.

Yes I have. And it's been a while now. My life was kinda messed up for one time. I didn't want them to know my situation because I didn't want them to worry about me or say something that could hurt me. I figured I just need some time to figure things out. I know it may sound a little selfish but that's what I had to do. For your case, did they do something really bad that you can't forget?

hello, jhelyn. i also have detatched myself from my best friend since elementary. it's not that i do not love her any more, but i find it hard to tolerate some of her traits. she has betrayed me before, and that lessened my trust in her. i do not want to have a best friend whom i cannot trust, that's why i dissolved our "bestfriendship." in your situation, i can say that you have done the right thing. but i think your friends also need to know why you are detatching from them so that there won't be bitter feelings (i hope!). if you can't find in your heart to forgive them, then it is better to detatch yourself as to give yourself some time to think it over because being with them with that bitter feelings of yours can create trouble. it will also cause you pain whenever you are with them because you will remember the bad things they did. i hope you'll be able to find strength. good luck!
