This is more of relationships with friends but I'm wondering if nc works or what to do

Two things, when I went on this site after a break up I went nc and changed A lot but I changed so much that now human relations seem so abstract, I can't get back into the game of actually allowing myself to care for people because people dissapoint so much.

Latley my best friends have not been there for me, they are fickle and drop out on plans the day of and don't try to make up for it. But I love them and it hurts so much to move on. They aren't mad at me, they just aren't thinking of anything but themselves and work right now. A lot of us are growing and such. I don't want them to grow on without me. Also, I have been burned so much by friends I can't seem to open and make new ones. Help?

Have you talked to them about this? Likely there are really busy with work, my friendships have been known to suffer because of work. But I do make up for it. And I have a girl's night every other weekend.

Try talking to them, and if they don't understand your need for attention, or you don't understand their need to work or whatever the case may be. Move on.

I have, and I understand their work completely, it when they make plans with me then cancel the day of. When I talk to them about it they promise to change and say that they want to hang out too and they want to change but they just don't, its like they don't try and that's what hurts.
