Girls growing apart?

Question

I am a 21 yr old female and have gone separate ways to my former friends.

Two of these former friends have been close friends since secondary school but lately I have been thinking what I want from life and it is completely apposite to their morals and beliefs; because of this they have become rather critical and it hurts.

I cant discuss it with them because it hasn't been a specific moment. I want to stay friends with one of these girls but I don't think I will ever become as close with the other girl.

They make me feel down when we go out and they make rude comments about my hair and choice of clothing. Is this me being sensitive or them being jealous that I have finally come into my own being and stopped following that crowd?

Answer 1

You will meet a lot more people than these two throughout your life. Why waste time on them if they hurt you so much? If they were real friends, they wouldn't criticise you so much or would be a bit more tactful about it at least.

Maybe it's time to start backing off from both of them and getting to know some new people. People do change from school to adult life, it's a fact of life. Just don't let their hurtful comments ruin your self confidence.

Good luck x

Answer 2

if they were your real friends, they'd respect you, love you, and continue to be your friend
