I am conferring immortality on this question.
"we grew apart after my laptop broke."
A true classic for this day and age.
How can I repair my relationship with my friend? I have known him for over a year now. We met online and were really close, but we grew apart after my laptop broke. How can I fix this, I really don't want to lose him.
You can call him on the phone or meet in person. You really can't believe that your relationship should be broken along with your laptop.
For more details on the situation: We used to talk constantly, he would come from school and directly message me. Some nights we would stay up until early in the morning playing games. He asked for my Skype username so that we could chat vocally, but at the time I was self contentious about my voice and I was afraid he would judge me because of it. Now that I have my laptop back, we just don't talk like we used to. We recently had a conversation about two weeks ago, but every time it seems as if we are having a good time, things revert to how they truly are. Please! Is there a way that I can give him my Skype now? Can I fix things between us?
Maybe when you didn't want to Skype he thought you weren't being honest about who you really are. That could have thrown up a red flag for him. He could just be being cautious. Always be true to yourself and never be ashamed of who you are.
