That is fine- we're all entitled to meet new people- but the thing is, my friend ends up changing who she is. They become obsessed with the group they are with, if the group is wild then my friend becomes wild and acts out. I try and be as supportive as I can be, but then my friend starts treating me badly. When we talk, my friend brags about her new friends and how cool they are. I always have felt like I was the one who made my friends go away and hang out with others- I feel betrayed and hurt. I feel like I'm not fun or not good enough for them anymore. We end up fighting and going through an awkwardness. Then if I back away and busy myself with other things, my friend ends up getting mad at me!! What is that about? (Am I just their punching bag?) I have different friends, but I treat every one of them the same- with care and respect. So why can't they do the same? I know people need to grow, find themselves, and sometimes friends do drift apart in the process- but why do they have to treat their old friends like junk? Reply to this Question

 Sounds like a maturity problem to me. I think you have needy friends who aren't willing to be there for you as much as you are for them and that you need new friends!
I think that friendships should be more relaxed than this, but that's just my opinion. I may also be in the wrong on this one cos I wasn't really sure what you were getting at. Maybe you could explain alittle more, please.
