Forget DOES NOT mean to forget all the things about it.
Try to be close to friends because if you have 1 true friend, you have more than you can share, who can accompany you when you r sad and alone.
Try to share your problems with your friends if you cant handle it again by yourself.
From my point of view, you r NOT a jerk.
You are deserved to have good friends.
If there's no-one want, I WANT!
All I want you to do just now is try to start your new life, please share if you have problems, because I can be a good listener if you want me to be. =)
