<human>: When I was in college I had a good circle of friends who would meet up daily in and out of college. I would go on campus even on days I had no lectures scheduled to hang out with people who had full days in and help study or just be support for people.

A couple of years in my course moved it's facilities to another campus but I still met up with my friends regularly. But eventually everyone disappeared and I have been left with 2 friends. The reasons for people losing contact are numerous.

A bunch of them I just lost contact with but when I look back on it they were more acquaintances that I saw regularly.

Some were failed relationships and that just made things awkward.

The hardest part, and the subject of my conflict, broke contact with me because of some really petty reasons. To cut a very long story short, one of the people I spent a very long time with decided to generate rumours about me. Over time I had people telling me multiple different reasons for why they didn't like me any more, none of which had any truth.

The reason for this post is that one of my remaining friends has kept in touch with all of these guys and he recently asked me why I never interact with any of them, so I told him about the rumours and what people said to me. He was completely surprised by this and told me they all often spoke about me as though they missed me.

Should I get in touch with these guys after all these years and how should I go about it? Or should I just leave things as they are, maybe find new friends?

<bot>: I had friends and then lost friends for silly reasons, but I've recently found out they miss me. Should I get in touch with them?
