Second, delve into what led you to feel put off. Did one person’s mood ruin the whole vibe? Do you and your uni friends — once aligned — now have wildly different ideas of a good time? Or was the chat actually inexcusably dull and to top it off, they were rude to the waiters? Third, make a list of their good qualities — there must be some reason you were friends before it all went Pete Tong? A close bond based on bi-monthly pub sessions won’t always translate to a week sightseeing; it doesn’t mean the friendship is over. Finally, with that in mind, ease yourself back in. Meet with one friend from the group, do something tried-and-tested — pub, walk, cinema, etc. See how that goes. Try it with another and so on… You may find you’re able to recover the friendships, only on slightly different ground.
