Should I be friends with them again?

[Waz]

So I had a group of friends. One of those friends I've known for like 8 years and the other for about two years, and the rest for about 1 year. The group of friends I had always talked about each other, ALWAYS. And I did too, but I only did it to fit in and now I feel like such a horrible person, I never meant it and I always felt bad. Okay so I found out that my best friend for 8 years and my other best friend from two years talked about me.. and so did some of the rest.. So I stopped being friends with them. I didn't tell them off, but I just told them that I didn't want to be assosiated with them anymore. They apologized but over text and I didn't really feel like they meant it. When I told them that I really did not wanna go back to being their friends, they got mad and started telling me off. Saying how karma is going to bite me in the ass, blah blah, I kept calm and I said goodbye. The thing is, they we're my best friends. I truly did love them and I felt like I would grow old with them and still be friends with them in wheelchairs. But I guess we hanged out with the wrong group. I've realized that the people we we're talking bad about, turn out to be the best people on earth, I'm now happily friends with those people but I still feel so bad. My old "Best Friends" tell them that I talk about them (I used to, i truly apologized) and try to make everyone turn against me. Now They basically stalk my private twitter, screenshot it, then make fun of it and get angry. Now most of them are talking bad about me and tweeting bad stuff and making it obvious that they're talking about me.. I sent them a big long ass text paragraph explaining how I'm truly sorry and I wish that they would stop talking about me and be happy and to just forget about me, and to remember me as not someone that they hate, but to remember me by our good memories. Now they're still mad and continue to tweet and stuff and I really don't know what to do. :/

You are good that you changed. It's your friends choice to accept it or not. If they are your true friends, they will know what you are and come to you, no matter they are 8 years old friends or 8 days. So chill out. Don't worry. You are best friend for yourself.

I'd try and sort it out with them to stop all the drama. You don't have to their best friends or in their pockets, just on terms where u can say hello and have a Convo with each other. You've done the right thing and don't be too hard in yourself. Everyone talks Bout everyone it's a way of life. Get rid of your twitter and don't give them opportunity to do that. Focus on your new friends and be honest and apologetic to them. They will understand if they are decent people.

life's too short to spend time worrying about things people write on the net. Get out and enjoy doing things you can enjoy.

Not at all! You shouldn't forgive these people because they aren't your real friends. By the sounds of your situation you must be in middle school or early on in high school. You'll realize as you get older, these aren't the people you want to be friends with. When you go to college or become an adult and start going out, you'll realize there's a whole world filled with people. You will meet people, future friends, who wouldn't ever talk behind your back. If they have a problem with you, they'll tell you. They'll cherish your friendship and would always stick up for you, against rumors and stand by you during hard times. These are the type of friends you want.

You also have to realize that over half the friends you have now, aren't going to be your friends in twenty years. Don't try to salvage a relationship as silly as the one you're in. I used to be friends with a group of girls, you could call them "the popular girls" (At least throughout middle school they were) We did everything together, you could say we were all best friends. But every week there was drama. All they ever talked about was boys and the latest gossip. I started hanging out with the "not so popular girls" and I actually had fun. We laughed at silly things, talked about things other than boys and what's up with other people. They listened and I listened. As time went on, I realized, these people aren't my true friends. Mind you, I was friends with these people for ten years when I came to this conclusion. I was maturing and they weren't. I dropped them as friends, my grades improved, I gained true friends, and I learned a lot about myself. I haven't spoken to these girls in years, but last I heard three of them were sixteen when they became pregnant, one of them is a wh*re, the rest all still immature. Besides one. She was my oldest friend, I saw her last week and I was shocked by how much she matured. She's now, almost exactly like me. We're closer than ever. There isn't any drama or talking behind one another's back. We're closer than ever.

My point is, don't waste your time on these people. Apologizing for becoming more mature and realizing that your friendship isn't going to work anymore. I know how you feel, you were friends for so long, that throwing it away now would suck. But you're growing up now, don't bring yourself down morally for a group of friends who'd drop you like a bad habit if you ever spoke against them or that'd talk behind your back. I know it's hard, but life will go on. You'll meet your true friends later on in life.

Good luck!

obviously you made the right decision by leaving. you learned from your mistakes and they didnt. just keep killing them with them with kindness and eventually they will get bored and leave you alone.
