How would you do, what would you do, if you were erased by all your hometown friends?

Asked by truecomedian (3937points) October 27th, 2010

They have totally blocked me from there lives. I don’t really know why, except it really hurts my feelings. It took one or two people that decided not to like me now it’s spread to almost everyone. I ditched my childhood friend to hang out with this new group of friends back in high school. Now they all want nothing to do with me. There’s nothing I can do to change any of this, I just wanted to write it and see what people said. I’m poor, their all rich, if they wanted to make things tough for me they could pretty easily, this scares the crap out of me. I was going to try to go back to school so I wouldn’t be such a loser but it’s not happening. I feel like shit, what should I do??

I’m not sure I completely understand the situation. What have your friends erased you on? Is this on MySpace or Facebook? If so, then forget them.

And why should their actions dictate whether you go to school or not? If you want to go back to school, hold your head high and go!

But perhaps I need a little more information.

I come from a very close knit town, I had a group of friends, now I dont. They wont speak or have anything to do with me. Your right I should just forget them, and I had, but recent events is stirring up the pot. My last remaining friend is in trouble and it’s bringing up all this stuff with me, when Ive been trying to lay low. It’s crap

It’s really hard letting go of people we were close to. It doesn’t matter if it’s the right thing to do or not. It’s still hard. So, let yourself feel bad but then release it.

Set goals for yourself. Move on. And love yourself while you’re striving for those goals.

Your not in school? Are these people in school? What about your new friends? I am confused I guess. You had falling out from your new friends? What does they are rich and your not have anything to do with it? As I see it friends come and go. You will make new friends. For God’s sake get back to school.

Feel liberated that you no longer have to pander to their elitist BS. Stay away from them and go back to school…at another school if you have to.

These were friends that I had ten years ago, and recently there has been a problem with one of the few that still talks to me. He has made me realize that I’ve been blackballed. It’s a major part of my life being controlled by these guys. All because one of them decided to hate me, this hate has spread like a cancer, and now I’m realizing that I have been cut off from certain people, certain benefits. It’s going to get worse, there getting people on my facebook to drop me, and even block me. They even have my sister not talking to me. Thats why its important that their rich and Im poor, because they can squash me like a bug. Im scared and I dont know what to do.

I’m that person that calls to check up on how my hometown friends are doing.
Not hearing from them for years.

So my answer would be. Just the way it is, without your “hometown friends”.

You have a different definition of friend than I do.

Dearest, there are a few important issues you are mentioning:
1 is that it must be time to move on and find new friends, real ones, who don’t ditch you just like that, even if you made a mistake.
2 Is that maybe you maid a bad choice to “ditch” a friend and join others. In retun, you got ditched yourself. That often happens, what we give out to the world comes back to us in a diffrent way, incl. good things we give out. Were your motives pure? then why would you have to ditch one friend to join a group? (a childhood friend!) true friendships are not conditioned like that.
3 Is fear. In this case, fear of them ganging up on you. Fear comes when we don’t understand that it is up to us to face things and make the best out of them. Just be yourself: allow yourself to feel hurt and show the pain, don’t try to hide it. Allow lonliness. Things will turn around for sure when you are true to yourself. Somehow, this will become the best turn of events, if you let it.

They haven’t “erased” you, they’ve disassociated you because they are moving on and growing up in life by taking on new challenges which have taken them higher standards and for whatever reason you aren’t challenging yourself in the same manner. It may be classist or it may be that these are people who are moving their lives towards becoming professionals. People tend to break with people with whom they no longer share interests when this occurs.
If you would like it to be otherwise then you need to establish a means of continuing to grow and learn and establish yourself in business even if that means taking up a trade of some kind.
