Holy shit dude, just tell your friends how you feel. Say “hey, I feel like we’ve been drifting apart the last few years, and I don’t like it. What’s up with that?” Then, go from there based on responses. It’s literally that simple.

Yep, very normal.

But I will point out this obvious fact: being normal FUCKING SUUUUCKS.

So yeah, if you wanna spend the next 30 years trying to make water cooler banter and polite "hello"s at the gym substitute for real human connection, sure, be normal.

But if you want to have a not-shitty life, then do what is necessary to preserve your existing relationships and cultivate new ones.
