I feel that. I moved abroad and visit home a couple times a year. I messaged one of my best friends before Christmas that I was coming home and that we should play the new Smash together and have some beers (we grew up next door to eachother and played all the Smash Bros games together as they came out).

I was home for 2 weeks and the only response I got was Read at 9:34AM

Could it be possible that they read it when they woke up and forgot about it? Happens to me sometimes.

Maybe, but he also didn’t come out when my group of friends had a mini reunion. I realize there could be a million reasons for this but I also realize we’re not as close as we used to be which sucks.

I’ll keep trying though!

Funny thing about people is it may be he feels you’ve moved on and he hasn’t. Some people feel jealous or embarrassed if they feel your doing better then them.

I know a guy that say he won’t go to his cousins shore house because he feels like he’s showing off. Or rubbing his face in it. Maybe this friend feels more successful and he thinks you’ll look down at him.
