Went through the exact same situation recently.

One of my close friends had a problem with me for some unknown reason. And because of that, some of my other friends stopped contacting me. I don't know if he's spreading shit or whatever, but that's not the point. I do miss hanging out with all of my friends, going to the bar every weekend and such. It sucks to say, but there's the phrase "you can't fly with chickens." There comes a time when you just have to keep your head up and move on with your own life.

Adults would confront the problem and talk it through. Your friends seem to still be in high-school mode.

There's true friends, and there's just acquaintances.

Acquaintances are the people you see at parties, go for a bite with now and then, but they're the ones who wouldn't lift a finger for you.

True friends are people who would throw their lives on the line for you, drain their bank accounts for you, and would do whatever it takes to help you.

That was really hard for me to wrap my head around. After losing a good chunk of my friends for no reason, I started to realize who my "true" friends really are.

Not trying to trivialize your situation, as I am lucky enough to have my girlfriend, and some close friends I can still talk to.

Try focusing on some self-improvements, whatever that may be. Educational, financial, health, whatever. And be open to meeting new people. And really stay on the high road here. If one of these "ex-friends" happen to contact you or ask for help, just be open. Help them, and see if they wanna hang out. Don't ignore them back, or go straight to asking him what his problem is, etc.. Keep your head up and stay positive.
