Most of my friends have drifted away over the years for a number of reasons. I was always known as the nut in the crowd who couldn't relax. I think it wore out some people and we just parted ways. My moods would be unpredictable and I could be the life of the party one day or the one who walked out at 8 because I didn't feel like being there. Also, they were always into things that involved crowds and that isn't really my scene.

Relative to me telling them I had an issue, they'd probably laugh it away and tell me I just need to "relax more" or "drink more beer". I agree with CANDC - most people probably don't want to know or don't really care.
