if you have things in common with them ,ie going to swimming pool or whatever put yourself in the same place at the same time and engage your favourite person in conversation, maybe ask where they are going on to or even just be yourself and be upfront and ask if you can join in. Honesty is often the best policy. Hope this helps  :O)

Tell your friend that it looks like she wants to go a different way in her friendships and that you don't have much choice but to watch her go.  Let her know you're there for her if she needs a friend but not to bring any hate or meanness to the table when she does, to leave it with the hater she's wanting to hang with now.  It's tough to watch a pal go off in a direction you think is hurtful, KNOW is hurtful.  Part of growing is discovering what you're really about though and there's something in this new friendship that she's trying to find in herself.  There may also be an emerging masochistic nature to your friend that she's not shared with you before and this new friendship may be REALLY appealing in a way you can't relate to.  My guess is that if you give her space, she'll remember who she is and what she's about and reconnect with you.  If not then you need to understand that there are an awful lot of people out there who don't have the courage of their own convictions and are wildly uncomfortable with who they are.  You sound totally grounded but I get the sense that your friend isn't.

you have matured and outgrown your friends. cool. now see them as they are in their stage of development, nurture them, be a positive exampe and accept them without talking about them. you are on your way.

If you're surrounded by "friends" who are miserable and don't like you a whole lot, how can you possibly make new friends? Sometimes, you have to be lonely for a while before you can become unlonlely again. Give it a shot, it won't kill you.\nJust don't call anymore. Just don't stop by. If they call you, go ahead and answer the phone (unless they start to harrass you- then you block their calls.) But when you answer the phone, just act like you're talking to somebody who's trying to sell you something you don't want; hear them out, then tell them you're not interested, have a nice day and thanks for calling... they'll either get their act together and start treating you better, or they'll be miserable without your help and you'll be on your way toward a better friendship with someone else.

well apparently you just need to find people who have the same interests (and standards) that you do...if someone screws you over then thats not your fault and they should realise that 'whatever they did to you' is messed up and apologize or risk losing a friend....and for the future, friends come and go so dont take it so personally

Sounds to me you may need to get some newer friends and start doing things with them. Maybe when the other two see that you have moved on, they will start treating you a little better. Even if they dont notice right now, they will when you start having fun without them.

Just be yourself. Get out there and mingle. Go out with a buddy and have them help you meet new people.

When I was 18 years old I worked in a deli with a man in his 70s. He told me the friends I have now from high school will be the only true, real, close friends you'll have for the rest of your life. Bring some of your old friends over, so you'll be more comfortable in making new friends.

oh dear.. this has happend to me too. The best thing to do is try your hardest (though challeging) to move ahead with your life. Time to look for new friends! Be confident, and calm. In a month or so, call up your old friend again, maybe by then she will have missed you, and ask to be friends again. If not, well, there are plenty more fish in the pond. It is the cold, hard truth!

Spend a little less time with them at a time, until you just don't see them very often. If they ask you to do something with them and you don't want to go, tell them that you're doing something else. Eventually they probably won't ask anymore. Meanwhile, find some new friends to hang out with. If you spend more time with your new friends, your old friends will get the picture. Don't walk up to your friends and say "I'm not going to be friends with you anymore," because that will just make them mad, they won't listen to you, and you'll sound like you're in the first grade.

Brush you're self off and get back up... You don't need so called best friends who all of a sudden stop being you're friend there not worth you're time or you're friendship..so move on and find another friend who is worthy of a true friend like yourself...Keep smiling!!!!\n\n    Hey don't Listen to Zink she came in here and gave everyone thumbs down on helping you out about you're best friend now what kind of friend would she be?

If you are real friends, you`ll continue to be. You should try to make new friends and then enlarge the circle.

find some new friends that you get along very well.if you have older friend ( not old but people that you know for longer time) keep hanging out with them.it happened to me too and I found better friends and one day the other girls called and said they were sorry and they said that they envied me for having better and more friends,and they said they missed me.i stick with the better girls of course:)

You cant tell your friends what to do. what you have to do is either just let them be who they are now, and hope they will eventually go back to normal. Until then, you keep doing your own thing and being your own person!! more props to you for being urself, that is a hard thing to do.  If they dont come around, find some other friends that are themselves, then you all can have fun! meeting new people is fun anyway! good luck!
