So my really close friend Brandon who I been friends with since 8th grade ditched me tonight or excluded me from hanging with him when the other two friends said yes. He didn't even say sorry. And he wouldnt even tell me why until after why he didnt want me around and it was because he didnt want me around. And I talked about how I was offended through skype and he ignored me. And I asked if he wanted to hang tomorow. And I told him I was already hurting. And he was still being mean. So I ended it. Now I am going to look for better friends.

Any support would be good.
Any and all my friends are welcome to come. The more the merrier. I never cared much for the type to ditch someone because they aren't as popular or whatever with the group. Everyone is the same. The only exception would be if I was with a gal. That would be alone time and you don't necessarily want 5 or 10 of your friends along. It sounds to me like he is ditching you because the others don't think you are cool enough or whatever. I'd be glad then. Those other guys are probably pr*cks anyway. Like the Mr. All-star in high school or something. F them!

You will find that occurs over and over again in life. People who were your friends at one stage change, or you do, and you sometimes have to jettison the negatives from your life. Someone just flat-out being unkind to you, as seems to be in your case, is a good-enough reason.
My 19 year old daughter just went though this when her 2 best friends from middle school ditched her for good, via a cruel email. She was devastated, but after giving it some thought over about a week, she realized that their friendship pretty much peaked in 9th grade and was on a downward trajectory after that--it had become a lot of work to stay friends with those two. She also realized that the friends she has made in college are the real deal and they have her back no matter what.
Sometimes it is hard to let go of those friends you made in the early teen years because you really needed them at the time and they became part of a pattern. Realizing you have outgrown that need--and them--is part of maturing into an adult.
Separations are always difficult, for both parties. Maybe your friend just needs to explore unknown territories for awhile, and feels it would be more honest to just make a break rather than fading away.
If your friendship has been an equal exchange for both of you, probably you will hear from him after a time, IF you stay friendly, understanding, and open.
Meanwhile, this is a time for you to do a little self-exploring, too.
I used to hang with a buddy a long long time ago. I caught up with him on FB.
Our lives have gone a million miles in opposite directions.
It's just the way things go.
Yep! I have been hurt by my past childhood friendships as well.
I have learned to hold my head up, and move on! The world sure does not stop for you, or your hurt ego!
Good luck to finding new friendships!!
