I (16male) have had only two people who I would call genuine friends F1(Male) and F2(Female) both from from primary school, after a year of high school contact was majority text based. I moved a very large distance and contact with F1 was strained because he was constantly busy, so in my loneliness I tried pushing for further interaction with F2 and I believed F2 found me more and more annoying until she unadded me on snapchat. I asked if she wanted to stop contact over a phone number. Its been nearly a year now and I want to try reaching back out because I’m still lonely and miss F2. Would I be the asshole to reach out to an ex-friend? Thank you reading this and possibly giving me an opinion.
You could try to reach out but I wouldn’t expect a response tbh. Id suggest trying to make friends in your new area. Join clubs and whatnot. Bird watching is often an overlooked gem. Super wholesome folks from a wide range of life, and it costs basically nothing.
Based on your age, I presume you are still in school. Try to see if your school has any clubs that you could join and try to become friends with the other members. It feels very bad to loose a friend because we are social creatures and getting kicked out of a group meant very bad things four our ancestors and we still have those survival instincts. The solution is not to go back to F2 but instead to make new connections and learn what lessons you can from this loss.
