I don't go out like I used to, I lost contact with one of my best friends that I thought I'd keep forever. I'm not going to blame it on him but I know the reason is because of him. I always put him first. It's funny how we can live a thousand miles away but still manage to affect each other's lives this much. We spend all our time talking to each other and rarely any with the people around us. I miss having friends to talk to. Halloween/My birthday is coming up and for the first time I don't think I'm doing ANYTHING. It's depressing. I know the easiest thing to do is reconnect with my friends and go out but it's difficult and I don't even remember how to do it. help? :/

 hey
you have to suck it up and eat humble pie
i have been in the same situation and its your fault although at the time you dont realise your niglecting your friendships you are
get in touch with them and tell them you miss them and youv realised your neglecting them and your very sorry
if there real friends there understand and you be spending time together like nothing happened especially your good friend that you mentioned
don't worry it shouldn't be too hard just swallow your pride and apologise

 Just call the one you considered a best friend, or the one you think most receptive and just say you don't want to lose touch and ask if you can tag along on whatever plans they have this weekend (or one night during the week). Unless that person is going out on a date, they'll probably agree. Sound confident (even if you don't feel it). It's as simple as that. More than likely they'll understand.
