I don't know you in real life, but from what I know fo you on this forum you are indeed a sympathetic and caring person. I don't see evidence of you intentionally ignoring peoples' buttons. I like you because you lay it on the line. People (myself included) sometimes need truth more than they need patting on the head.
Perhaps this change of friends isn't so much a bad thing but just you growing apart from your old circle of friends? As we mature, things do change. And maybe some of your friends are changing too? What do you think?
Maybe today you just need a hug...
