Something similar happens to me, we usually talked via discord, my best friend for 15 years who I still think of as my friend just stopped being so apparently, I suck at texting, always feel like a moron after texting something mildly serious, because of that I don't have any lasting texting relationships, so I'd go into discord and tell him or my other friend "Yo" and they would come in, my schedule is almost complete always so I only had a few hours in the weekends, after some time they started that they were with the other friend in a 2 player game, or League Ranked or whatever so I waited, it sucked because I was the one who was unavailable when they both talked and met almost everyday, and I kept feeling worse and worse because I felt like I was interrupting them and they really didn't ask me to talk any time, and then one day after weeks of not being able to talk I said "Yo" and the response I got was "I'm watching a Netflix show" when he's the kind of guy who stops when he wants and gets back from there, and I don't remember if I sent the message, but I typed "Well, if you are doing something su urgent no probs". From there I started talking to other people, who actively wanted me to join them, one day they both came and asked me why I didn't ask them anymore so I tried to for 3 weeks, only one day one of them came, the rest were excuses or no answer at all, I no longer try, but the fact that they asked me that drills my mind, is it my fault? Did I do something wrong? I still think about them as my friends but damn, getting virtually ghosted for so long by the people I care the most about got me into a very bad spot, I'm sorry if you read this rant, I am not having a good time with this and had to vent it somewhere
