Do my friends really care about me?
Hello, I'm from Panama. I need to know if I'm overreacting or not, so here it goes: After a very long time using braces, I took them off on April and it was one of the best moments in my life because my teeth/smile have always been one of my biggest insecurities. After that I really gained a lot of confidence in myself and my self esteem went up...
The problem starts last week after going to a party with some friends from college; I took a lot of pics with them and when I woke up the next day, I wasn't expecting to find them all in the group chat with my high school friends, ALL of them completely SHOCKED over the fact that I took my braces off... Which would be totally ok if we hadn't met each other's back in May, June and July...So what does that mean? Do my friends even notice me at all? Do they really care about me? How could it be they didn't notice that while meeting in person? Should I be offended?

Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship?
Okay, first of all, I've dealt with this before. When I got my braces off, I send my friends text after text with no reply. They didn't even notice I had gotten my braces off for weeks. I know how it feels to be ignored, so if you need someone to talk to, I'm here for you. This could just be a coincidence. A lot of friends I have just don't notice small details, so that could be the case with you. If you have mentioned that you got your braces off to them before, then this isn't the case. They could just be very forgetful, or it could be more complicated, which is more likely. I say you should give them a few more chances. It could just be an honest mistake, so wait and find out. If similar things happen, then you might want to consider finding new friends. You're in a stage in your life where you need good friends that will always have your back, and the friends you have now don't sound like that kind of friend.
Good luck!
