Hi, over the last maybe 2 years i have i have felt like my friendship with my childhood friend has been going downhill pretty badly, we can go for months without even speaking or playing online, and when we finally do its pretty boring overall, and it seems like i have to carry the conversation, my friend also seems to be pretty sad or low energy, and it can be difficult for me to find topics to talk about, since we havent seen eachother irl for years, and he lives in a different place than me

today, just an hour ago he called me and we played some games, but we didnt really even speak about anything meaningful and it felt pretty forced, when we played roblox he kept switching games all the time because he thought it was boring, even the games he himself picked, it just felt weird, and when i saw him on camera he just kind of acted weirdly asocial, i have a feeling he might have some issues related to self esteem or personal happiness, and might be suffering from light depression

did any of you experience something similar? and what have you done or would have done in this situation? i just dont really even know how i could help him or if he would even accept my help
