I have few friends. Remnants from childhood and school. I seem to be losing them. One gets a girlfriend and stops communicating. The other moves away and stops communicating. The other is willing to play video games, but not much else (I generally stopped playing them, but didn't think I would lose a friend over it).
I must be the one to start communication, to invite the other to hang out, they never initiate conversation. They generally say they'll let me know but never get back to me, or ignore me. It seems, unfortunately, that I value the friendship more than they do. In person, when we do hang out, we have a great time, but otherwise, it's like I don't exist. The frequency of hanging out is getting longer and longer for all of them (7 months, 14 months).
I have been productive with my free time, but I don't want to let friendships die out of immaturity. At the same time, I would make time for any of them (except video games, maybe I should start playing again?), but I don't seem to be worthy of a response or remembrance half the time. I've also heard that this is just a consequence of adulthood.
Anyone have similar stories? What do you do? At what point do you just let it go?
