Hi,

This isn't a romantic relationship question but is a friendship one.

Recently a friend has got back into touch with me after he has avoided contact with me (and others) since the summer. Hes quite shy but we got on really well in the holiday's, spending a lot of time together.

I was baffled by his sudden stop in contact and honestly was quite hurt. I saw him around school a few times and asked him if I had done anything - he obviously felt quite uncomfortable discussing it and I stopped as i thought that it was best to just move on.

However, I recived a text from him recently and I just don't know how to respond. Do I bring up his isolation recently? Ignore it? Where does our friendship (or whats left of it) go from here?

Any help would be amazing!

Honeypie agony auntI agree with Auntie Abella too.

What if someone close to him died for instance? It might not be something he wants to share right now. I would just go slowly and see if the friendship can blossom again.

Ciar agony auntI agree with Abella. There may have been reasons unrelated to any of you for his sudden departure.

Abella agony auntHi

Just reply in a cool light way. Keep it simple and happy. Just be happy to hear from me, with no recriminations at this point.

If you re-develop the trust then in time he may tell you.

It may not be about you at all. It may be his own indecurities driving his reaction.

Regards

Abella
