I don't necessarily want to stop being friends but I think perhaps reordering priorities may be what is needed. Thank you for your response. Kit

I would also need to have a chat with myself inside about what was fun, and how it feels to acknowledge the fun we had and yet move our hopes and attachment to other people. There is a little kid inside me who gets very sad about this stuff. I didn't have any support making friends in my family of origin, and only just now I experienced a supportive friend helping me to recontact another friend who had dropped me, at the same time as I am moving out to other people.
My inner kid still feels sad but able to use the good experiences we had to keep looking, if you get me?
