Losing friends at the end of college. Feeling lost
I know there are so many posts about this already in this subreddit, but I really need advice. I graduate in two days and I am taking a gap year before pursing a professional degree. My friends are all a year ahead of me so they have already graduated and live about 2 hours away and have full time jobs, so we don’t see each other very often. We all see one another at most once a month or every two months. However, I’ve started to realize how much less I’m seeing them and how much less we text each other. I’m not perfect and I have been busy too so I haven’t been calling as much, but I have always made an effort to text in our group chat and chat with everybody. Nowadays, nobody responds to me and when they do, it’s only one of my friends who I FaceTime once a month when she’s not busy with her partner or her job. Yesterday, two friends texted the chat saying it was dead and for it to rest in peace. I don’t disagree that it isn’t as active anymore, but it is just very sad. I feel like I am losing my friendships now that everyone is entering a new stage of life, and it’s making me feel very lonely and lost. If anyone has any advice on what I can do or any support, I would really appreciate it.
