Basically, wise mumsnetters I need your sage advice.
Last night I had a dream with all my old friends in, woke up with a start feeling depressed.
Basically, I am a shy person with low confidence. I do not make friends easily. When I do make friends though I think I am a good friend.
My problem is when people move on and I don't see them every day. Contact becomes very one-sided from their side, and then peters out -no doubt because they think I can't be arsed.
However the real reason I don't get in contact is I have this inbuilt thing about not wanting to bother people. My old friends are obviously all fine, I however am lonely and have no friends.
I still follow my old friends on Facebook. Would it be really desperate to reach out to them and apologise and tell them some of this and try and build bridges? I really miss them, and while I would like to try and build new friendships, I really value these old ones.
