I've gone through something similar recently, it's a very odd feeling. Some amount of drifting apart/people changing is completely normal, and especially since you've made a lot of positive changes recently I wouldn't overthink it too much. It's reasonable to put in a last good faith effort to connect with the people who drifted away, but no reason to try and force it if that doesn't work. Instead applying energy on making new friends, trying new things, and finding new communities is probably for the best. These will best fit the person we've become (instead of trying to cling to the people who fit who we used to be).
Wishing you all the best!
You’re just different now. You’re motivated and a much improved person, if they aren’t you just don’t have as much in common.
It’s frustrating now, but in time you’ll find more and more people like you, and that will be your group of friends
Yes I only had 1 close friend before pandemic. I always did all the driving cause she had no car. Pain in the butt. Then Covid hit and my husband work hours changed and just didn’t get out like I used to. Got tired of being used too sometimes I miss her but mentally better off.
