Friend drifting apart and I have mixed feelings

For the last several years, a friend of mine has been drifting apart from my other friends and I since he has moved to another part of the city and has gotten involved in a church and made new friends.

1. He has been ghosting several of us

2, His new friendships are more important

3. Things have one-sided where we are the ones doing all the calling and texting but there is no reciprocation

4. Ever since he has met these new friends he has seemed to act like he's better than us

5. He bailed on another friend of mine after making plans with him

I have mixed feelings about this situation because I have been busy with my own life and along with meeting other people myself. He has also done some inappropriate things in the past. However, another part of me is sad that this relationship is over because I thought he was our friend. In the past, he struggled to make friends and got rejected. Now he has these new cool friends and I feel like he's the bit of a social climber.

@Summershy Hey Summershy! My name is Ears smiley It's nice to meet you! I've read over your post today and I'm here to talk about it with you. Lets jump into the situation.

It looks like you're going through a difficult, tough, and confusing time right now. I'm sorry that you're going through this at the moment and I hope it gets better soon heart I want you to know that you're not alone whatsoever and that I'm here to help and support you along other Listeners. Here's my summary based on what's happening, and what you put; Your friend moved to another part of your city and got involved with a church, but along the way he met some new friends. When he met these new friends he dropped all contact with, not only you, but your friend group too. He eventually stopped texting back (Or never called or texted anyone first) which really hurt you, made you really upset, and frustrated you because you had a close relationship with him and everything changed out of nowhere without a explanation. Would you say this looks correct to you?

I was fine at first and thought "Ok, just let him go." Well last weekend, I decided to try and invite him to one more thing and me completely ignored my invitation and did not call or anything. My friend also tried reaching out only to be ignored too

I called him up and left a voice message this weekend and yelled at him for being a jerk to us.

@Summershy I actually looked at your profile and It said you were on the adult side, so that's probably why you couldn't contact me.

I understand why you'd be angry at him for ignoring you, especially when he could've responded to your voicemail. Have you tried to tell him how you feel? If you did and he responded how did it go?
