I feel left out from old time friends

Dear friend, I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling left out from your old friends. Feeling excluded can be painful and it's understandable that you're feeling this way. It's okay to feel sad, disappointed and even angry. You don't have to hide or suppress your feelings. Allow yourself to feel and process them. It's important to acknowledge that your feelings are valid and real.
From a Buddhist perspective, we know that everything is impermanent. Relationships, too, change over time. It's natural for people to grow apart or move on with their lives. However, we can use this as an opportunity to practice compassion and loving-kindness. We can wish our old friends well and send them good wishes for their future. By doing so, we release our attachment and resentment towards them.
From a psychological perspective, it's important to recognize that you are not alone. Many people face similar challenges with friendships. Sometimes, we need to take the initiative and reach out to our friends. Consider inviting them for a coffee or a walk in nature. Share how you're feeling and listen to their perspective too. Communication is key in any relationship. If your old friends are no longer interested in maintaining the friendship, it might be time to accept the situation and move on. You can focus on building new friendships or pursuing new interests.
In terms of coaching advice, I would encourage you to find ways to connect with like-minded people. Join a club or a group that aligns with your interests. This can be a great way to meet new people and form new friendships. Also, focus on self-care and self-love. When we feel good about ourselves, we radiate positive energy, which attracts people towards us. Finally, remember that life is full of opportunities and possibilities. Embrace the changes and trust that everything happens for a reason.
