recently i've felt myself drifting away from most of my online friends, simply because we don't really share the same interests anymore.
pretty much at the exact same time, i've felt myself making more friends in rl and in general just becomin' more well liked and respected.
is this good?? it doesn't feel all that great for some reason
probably is for the best, op
I've had the same thing and it was good for me. I still play video games and sometimes with friends if they want to play what I'm playing, but my focus is on real life and making something of my life now.
At first it was disorienting, I was so used to their presence, but as time went on and I still (occasionally) played games with them, I noticed that hey hadn't changed a bit and were planning on being NEETs forever. Don't get me wrong, I love my online friends, probably the best I've ever had, but as I played less and less and they stayed around, they formed closer bonds and new people came around, and now I'm the outsider.
