View submission: Losing a best friend of 34 years

Heard this on the radio last week and seems appropriate to share here:

https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/no-hard-feelings/id1028908750?i=1000688643177

It reminded me of a few people who I considered close friends that started grey-rocking me right around the time I became a father so took me awhile to realize it. When I finally confronted them about it they had no real explanation, just half-hearted “break up” texts. Im still mad/hurt and also recognizing that making friends now is much more difficult, especially given the paranoia that this instilled in me about people’s unstated intentions. Hearing that podcast has me realizing I’m probably not doing myself any favors by dwelling on fair-weather friends.

I’m sorry for your loss and I hope you can find some closure.
