I feel like I lost a friend.

I'm not talking about any Matt on this site. I'm talking about my 7th grade friend Matt. For some reason, I think he hates me :( . I have no idea why. He does respond to my texts, but he's already told me to stop texting him.

It just tears me apart inside when I know i'm about to lose a friend. Matt's practically the second 7th grade friend I've lost. :( I'm just not happy right now.

Sometimes, there will be no obvious reason behind an occurrence - either it is a combination of many minuscule factors, or there are issues which the person in question are unable to disclose. It may not even have anything to do with you directly, but rather personal issues which in some absurd way became connected to your presence. If you can't trace any recent disagreement or conflict with him, then it's very unlikely it would be something you did specifically to make him resentful.

The other idea which comes to mind is that the two of you have drifted apart naturally over time. He has new friends, a busy schedule, and his heart isn't where it used to be - but doesn't know how to bring it up without sounding unnecessarily hurtful. One thing you can do is confront him - not through text, but face-to-face if possible and in a serious demeanor - ask him to explain his recent behaviour.

Should he seem uncomfortable and refuse to give a clear answer, then just let it be. It's difficult to lose someone close to you, but keep in mind that it is only the rhythm of nature - everything comes and goes. Cry not for what is lost, but smile for what once was.

All the best to you. :hug3:
