Friend not actin normal....

[PAfarmerkid]

One of my best friends here is not acting normal at all. He isnt always replying to my texts like he used to, but he isnt really talking to anyone else. One of his other friends (who is also my friend) he has almost stopped completely talking to, and at school he barrilly talks to anyone anymore. In gym class he has just started to stand around not talking to anyone, and in class he almost never talks anymore either. Everyday he looks so stressed out, at first I just thought he wsnt gettin anough sleep but he swears he isnt tired, and the other day he was tired he was fallin asleep, lol. He has been actin so un-normal. Its starting to worry me, and everytime I say somethin about him lookin tired or stressed he almost flips out about me saying something. Im getting worried that he is having family problems or other friend problems or some kind of sexuality problem (it really started going on only a week or 2 after I told him I was bi)

Like I said its worrying me. I sent him a message and told him we need to hangout sometime and talk, and Im hoping he will.

You said yourself, he isn't feeling himself. I think he is just probably tired. I don't think he is pushing you off. Go and chat with him. I have a good feeling that you care really deeply about this person, and you are scared that this might effect your friendship. It feels like people are two sided sometimes, doesn't it.

But I just think he was just out of it. He was tired, and probably frustrated at that time. I'm sure if the both of you talk it over, it is all going to work out fine.

I told him lastnight I want to hangout and talk sometime coming up. At first I thought it was just a coincidence but when it started being everyday, now for 2 months it starting to worry me, and I do care about him, one of the best friends Ive ever had.

I happen to disagree.
People don't just lose sleep for unimportant reasons, at least no one I know.
Its very hard to try and help in a non-prodding way.
If multiple people are noticing the same thing then there could actually be a big problem.
But of course kids these ages tend to lean on the melodramatic side of life so it could just be a phase
Regarding your sexuality I wouldn't worry that it has anything to do with you.
Give it a couple weeks, if it doesn't improve I would recommend actually having as serious of a talk you can with him to get to the bottom of it. After all he is your friend.

I talked to him some this afternoon and I said I wanted to hangout and talk because I was gettin alittle worried about him and he asked why so I told him. He said theres seriously not a problem or anything, I told him Im awalys here if he needed to talk and he said thanks. I still seriously think there is but Ill see if it gets any better. We are hanging out this weekend coming up to talk though.
