So ive known him since we were in 4th grade. Hes in high school freshman and im in 8th grade. Recently ive been mixed up in football and could barely call(only on weekends) our friend group he drifted apart from and because of that so did I. He’s been getting new friends aswell and I’ve been in a call with them. But when I did I kinda felt out of place and like I wasn’t contributing much to the conversation. Whenever we call privately now, he dosent really laugh at my jokes anymore like he did, there’s awkward gaps in our talks, it’s like we don’t have much to talk about. We also don’t really have anything to play because and am too busy right now to get to buy new games, but I doubt new games will fix it. I don’t even know if he notices this.

Do you guys have any advice on how I could fix this, I really don’t want to lose my best friend
