Shadows of a Former Past

I couldn't say I'm in the same boat as you, like trying to forget my past or forgetting unpleasant situations, but it comes naturally. College is a big step, especially one where you don't know literally anyone. In this case, I can empathize because that was me my freshman year in college. I didn't know anyone, seriously. It was scary, but at the same time exciting.

From what I can get from your post, it seems like you have bad relationships with some of your friends. Going to a college where no one knows you realllly helps in this case. Your ties with your old friends eventually loosen and then disintegrate before you even realize it. It happened to many of my high school friends. But it's not without gain, you make many new friends in college too. In my case, it helps not going on AIM or better yet just make a new screen name. Unless they're extremely close to you, they'll eventually not make contact with you either. No one is going to think that "you've lost who you really are" because college is really a big step to take. A lot of people change, and so do friends.
