Other than being mildly concerned that I didn’t read the terms and conditions of that perma lock before I clicked ‘next’, life is good with no complaints. I like how you got around the clauses of this meme by asking in old English, BTW. Very clever.
or, instead of being an edgy bitch about it you can confront the person. I've been on both sides of this, and when I was the person drifting away, my friend actually confronted me about it. still one of my best friends today
Confrontation doesn't always work to keep those relationships. It's good that you and your friend are still best buds. When someone distances themselves they might be doing it unintentionally, they might be doing it intentionally, confronting someone just cements a decision.
That makes sense. It's good that you want that certainty. However, it isn't necessarily invalid to be non-confrontational. Maybe someone needs to mature a bit, maybe that's just how they are. Nothing too wrong with that.
*that is correct you are now perma locked in a soul contract*
