I’m probably just an asshole nobody wants to talk to, but I can hardly even get a reply text from anyone anymore. A couple people have told me that they are just feeling burnt out/depressed/etc and don’t have even enough energy to answer a message anymore. But I’ve also had some long time friends just entirely ghost me in the last year as well with no explanation. It feels like I’m surrounded by NPCs. I’ve basically just stopped reaching out to anyone at this point. Outside of my work, literally the only people I talk to are my parents, sister, and my girlfriend. Everyone else seems dead inside. I used to have at least 10 people who I could call on a moments notice and all of those people are gone.


Context needed: how old are you?
It’s extremely common to lose and gain a huge number of friends in your 20s/30s as you (and they) figure out who you actually are, move around, get busier with actual responsibilities, etc.
I am 31
are your friends marrying/having kids?
No, none of them are to be honest, and I don’t think any of them have girlfriends either. Think lemmy type people. Lol
