my social life sucks right now because before I left my old highschool I seperated myself from my group of friends for a girl which ended up having a mental disorder (BPD) and she left me. We were together for about 9 months so it wasn't hard to get over her ,but then I found myself with a bunch of extra time on my hands so I wanted to hang out with my old friends (I basically cut them off from my life while I was with her). My group of friends became popular, feel awkward talking to them after so long and basically only 1/9 of my former good friends talk to me. Most aren't mad at me, but I heard some were salty that I replaced them so easily. They all know alot of people that I don't know exists, can't really hang out with them 8/10 times because of strict parents. Been thinking about this for about 4-5 months but don't know how to even start becoming friends again or even if I should.
let it go

When you get the chance just say you were thinking with your second brain to your remaining 1/9th of friends. They might put in a good word for you if the 8/9th friends talk about you with the 1/9th when you're not around.
You could also be more direct about it, but a subtle approach might be easier.
Or get new friends.

you remind me of a former friend of mine, anon. he also left our former group for a girl with, oddly enough, BPD, who he dumped. however, i'm in your situation where the former group was fractured and i was left with a small portion of the group left with me, and the rest of the group is "popular," but i find that the best course of action is just to let it go. i too have tried getting the majority back, but in the end it may be harder than you think, and probably not even worth it.
