Have I been forgotten?

I'm back from uni for summer. Its going to be a long summer. :s-smilie:

Since bein back I've got in contact with all my friends, asking how they are and suggesting meeting up etc. The problem is, that they're just so unresponsive, not replying to my texts, not answering my calls (not sure whether intentional).

I know that people move on, but when I'm at uni, they go on about how much they miss me and how we have to go out when I'm back. So is it just an act to make me feel better?

I can't help feeling a bit lonely right now. I'm keeping myself occupied trying to find a job, but still, surely I'm entitled to socialise for at least an hour a week? :frown:

University's only just finished for a lot of people so they're probably quite busy at the moment - don't take it personally. :smile: My first week will be spent unpacking, spending time catching up with my family, that sort of thing. I imagine it'll be similar for a lot of your friends.

and stare blankly into space, twiddling my thumbs? :rolleyes:

this has happened for the past three years, them leaving me out and ignoring my efforts. I don't want to be on my own all summer. :mad:

They probably all have friends at home that they want to see that they haven't seen all term.

When I go home, my priorities are for my family and friends that I haven't seen all year and being able to chill out on a proper sofa for a change rather than on crappy uncomfortable uni chairs. My last thought is to see my uni friends, who I spend 9 months of the year with. Might drop them a line or stalk them on Facebook and that's all, to be honest, and most people are happy with that.

Just chill out and spend time with people at home that you see less often.

I don't live near anyone. Everyone in my road is under the age of 10 or over the age of 30. So I can't just 'pop round'. Which means that whatever I do, I do alone.

Want friends? Go and get some. Join a book group or another local club. Get a job.

put yourself in their shoes.

a lot of us all say to friends we havnt seen in a while 'ohh we should meet up, hang out..' etc etc

i think it will take time for the ball to get rolling and you and your friends to get back into the swing of things, but im sure you'll be spending time with them soon :smile:

but yet they're adjusting majorly as everyone else comes from uni..making plans even before they've got home.

Should I just take the assumption that they've moved on and don't want to know me anymore?

No, that would be way too drastic. Give them a couple of weeks to settle back into being at home - the summer holidays are very long and they're bound to find time for you at some point.

No way! They're sure to be busy still, I don't finish my 1st year of uni for another 3 weeks and most of my friends wouldn't be around if I did want to see them. Give it a bit more time, they do want to see you it just isn't always possible.

no im sure they'll make time for you, i mean, i dont think youre expecting most days to be booked up with just spending time with them, but a few days in the summer im sure they'll make the effort.

and of course, im sure youve made new friends, so they probably have aswell, so its the whole balance of old and new friends.
