In the past few months I had a falling out with some of my oldest skate friends. Basically, I got tired of driving out to their town all the time to skate the same shitty indoor park every single week. Most of the time they wouldn’t skate anyway and just hang out. So I started skating more with people in my town and actually going to new spots/parks, which caused them to be childish and passive aggressive toward me for “cool guying” them, even though I begged them for quite literally years to come skate with me more.
Now the two who were acting the most lame toward me keep messaging me trying to be super nice when they see spots/parks I go to on social media, but won’t acknowledge the elephant in the room, being their childish behavior. I haven’t brought it up because, frankly, I’ve been having more fun than ever skating and am generally happier having moved on from them. I have a history of pretty gnarly social anxiety, so I’m pretty proud of myself for dealing with this in a mostly mature way, but it sucks that one of my longest friendships has come down to this.
