"the people who gravitated toward me because of our shared instability no longer found me interesting." I really related to this. It's a subtle thing and I don't think I had language to describe it until reading this now.

Sometimes we don't even realizing we're changing and one of the ways we notice is by how others react to us. When our friends start reacting to us differently we're tempted to avoid the change because we don't want to risk losing relationships. We can't avoid it though, you only end up delaying whatever confrontation you fear or prevent yourself from growing. Thanks Jesse!
