Feeling like my friends are slowly drifting away, anyone relate?

Lately I’ve been feeling pretty alone. I still see my friends now and then, but the energy’s changed. They rarely reach out first, and when we hang out, I feel like I’m just tagging along or being tolerated.

I try to stay positive and be there for them, but it’s hard not to feel like I’m the only one trying. I miss deeper connections and feeling truly seen by someone.

Has anyone gone through something similar? How did you deal with it without becoming bitter or overly needy?
