friend problems

Well basically, I had these friends in my area (we're still cool) but basically I had too much pride and stopped hanging out with them for a bit

but Now i want to hang out with dem but I dont know if they will accept me back into their social circle (even doe i talk to dem when i see them) but they must think I moved on or I think Im better than them.

Any tips on how to work my way in slowly, i dont want to foce my self in straight away.

One thing i would really avoid would be to march in to the middle of them all, publicly announce that you're sorry, want to be friends again, and expect that to be that :smile: it doesn't sound like you'd do that anyway though.

Do they always stay in a big group? If there's any way you could revive your friendship with just a few (1-3) of them, that would probably be a good starting point. Perhaps you could go up to one of them and - (without interrupting what they're doing, make sure you don't burst into the middle of some deep, meaningful conversation and smash it to pieces. Just when, say, they're eating lunch or something like that) - so yes, go up to one or two of them, and say it's ages since you've spoken to them properly, how are they? If they make any comment on 'having too much pride', then apologise, and humbly say that you've missed their company, value their friendship and want to start again. Except don't make it sound that cheesy... When you get talking, listen to what they're saying - even if it isn't something that you find terribly exciting - and try not to go off on a 'me-me-me' tangent, even if you did just come back from the best holiday ever and are bursting to tell everyone :smile: It's also good to pay them a compliment. Compliments show you think they rock/are cool/something like that - but don't sit there and shower them with a whole string of 'wow, you're just sooo cool' comments... one compliment would probably do :biggrin:

I reckon that if you can get to know a few of them again, things will probably get easier thereafter.

I hope that's helpful and things go well...

Getting back in to your local massive, unit, or posse can never be easy.

Remember to wear the appropriate colours, drink the appropriate cider, wear the correct nike trainers and trackie with your burberry cap. Also be sure to use the correct lingo; "Oi, **** off you ****ing tosser, I'll smath ya teeth in ya ere me, I'll call me older brother ya ****!"

Follow these simple rules and you'll soon be back in your posse chav-ing it up hanging out at the local Burger King.
