During this summer I lost a couple of close friends it all seemed to happen so fast. Although I think about them sometimes and good memories we had. I'm not that phased that we're not cool anymore... I sort of feel like... I don't really know how to explain it... just kinda like lets get on with my life. For a while I felt like I was wrong for not feeling sad or it's bad we're not cool anymore but it's just sort of like... it's sort of like... oh well.. and move on with my life.

what does that mean? what does it mean that im not bothered? I thought it hadn't hit me yet but it's been almost the whole summer.

It could be that that particular stage in your life with those people was coming to an end, and you may have deep down known that on some level, even if not consciously. So now that you are moving on, it feels okay. Not painful, but natural. There is no right or wrong way you should be feeling. So as long as you are doing okay, and feel alright, then I think it is fine, and in fact very normal. It's great that you feel ready to move on in your life, and I hope things go great for you.

You're moving on with your life. It's actually perfectly normal. When I was at school, I had a lot of friends. When I left, I lost contact with all but four close ones. And, in truth, that's all I need. You may well go through a phase where you miss your friends. But, to be honest, you'll move on with your life and meet other friends who will become closer than those you had at school.

natmarie agony auntit;s normal. People change - you have just grown out of them that's all. Different people come into our lives at different times. Some for a week, some for a lifetime. You have nothing to feel guilty about -you'l meet new ones who are more suited to the new you soon, if you haven't already. Just chill. That's life. Be Happy xxx
