I have finally made a really good group of friends and I started feeling like I really belonged, but lately it justs seems like my friend group is slowly falling apart. I don’t want to lose any of my friends but I don’t know what to do. Is this normal or I am just over-reacting?
100% normal, and right around now is exactly when it starts happening. Read this thread, and the comments, especially post 4: http://talk.qa.collegeconfidential.com/college-life/2016222-to-those-who-feel-lonely-homesick-friendless-think-they-chose-the-wrong-school-etc-p1.html
Yeah, I remember that happening with my daughter. I think it’s because you cling to whoever you first meet when you get to school, then everyone realizes those people might not be the best fit. But then D found other friends who’s she’s REALLY close to. She even got an apartment in a different city this past summer with one of them and they had a great time.
You may need to make more effort to get the friends together…don’t rely on others.
Normal. Not overreacting. Stay open. Be friendly. Keep talking to people, every day. It’s only just begun. Who your real friends end up being will unfold. My daughter had about ten friends freshman year that started to dwindle by the end of freshman year. She is a senior and still friends with only one of them. She has other friends though. Be patient. It will evolve.
I think it’s normal which always happened in our college lives. Although some of number from your group is apart, you can still make the contract with each other. This is the process you are going to find true friends. You just need to be friendly, independently. What you need to do is keep talking with other strangers. Definitely you will find new and true friends who is more care about you.
If you need help, is your friend there for you? Or, does your friend make excuses, disappearing when it becomes convenient? Real friends will show up if you need a helping hand and will show up to celebrate with you afterward.
