It seems that my IRL friends for some reason became much more distant... We have known each other since primary school and up until not that long ago were sticking together really close. But yesterday I was talking with one of them, and I hear the rest of "our pack" in the background, so I casually ask what they're doing there, a party? The response was "No, they were kicked out of their homes", and I'm like "Oooookay...". Then the one friend I'm talking with starts to speak about some car crash, and I ask him did he saw it - and he says "I was in this crash.", thankfully he's okay but his car is pretty much totaled. What I'm trying to say - just a month or two ago, I'm pretty sure they would at least say something - you know, as a good pack of friends we kept each other informed how it's going. Now there's much serious shit happening, and I'm the dead last one being informed, indirectly. I don't really know what to think. It's hard to describe this, as it's a subtle difference, but... I feel like they're becoming more and more distant. Or maybe it's something on my side? Maybe I'm the one distancing myself? I'm not sure. It's just everytime I try to hang out with them they're "busy" or "tired" and when they hang out together, I'm informed a day later when they post photos on Facebook. I don't want to lose them, because beside them I don't really have anybody who I could call a good friend and at the same time meet them IRL. I have you all here, but I can't meet you in person, despite my greatest wish to do so. I know a small group of furries from my city,we like each other - we hanged out together 2 or 3 times and it was fun, but that's about it. I wouldn't call them close friends, not yet. I'm not sure what to do, or whether to do anything at all. Maybe 15 years of knowing each other is too long...
