A close/best friend that still loves you, but no longer needs you for support, entertainment, guidance, affection, etc., and gradually stops involving you in their life/seeking you out in the same way or for the same reasons.
They still love you and will still answer/respond at the same rate when you reach out to them, but will no longer contact you on their own unless it's a special occasion, an emergency, or they need something specific.
Much like how children and young adults stop wanting to spend time with their parents and would rather spend time with their friends instead.
Being parent-zoned means you've essentially been replaced as a friend but without any malice or loss of love / emotional importance.

He still treats me with a lot of love and respect and is always there when I need him, but he doesn't call or text nearly as much as he used to. His personal situation hasn't changed, guess I've just been parent-zoned.

Get the Parents not foundmug. Obnoxious twits who try to "discipline" their kids using physical aggression and bullying tactics. If you are an asian parent reading this, fuck you. You think you're so tough and macho. We all know you are full of shit. You don't have the mental strength to face your problems so you bully your kids. Go mess with someone your own size or I'll beat you up when you grow old. I know some asshole is going to complain that I'm being racist but every asian kid I've met knows that asian parents are racist towards their own race, so shut the fuck up.
Asian parents: Do your homework before I spank you.
Me: You do your work before I kick your saggy nuts open.

Get the Asian parentsmug. I just got a call from a parent of a kid that got put on the JV team. She was very upset that her child didn’t get put on the varsity team. That parent suffers from PARENTAL BLINDNESS.

Get the Parental Blindnessmug. The feeling that you have to be right no matter what. People with a Parent Complex feel like the only way to win an argument is to make sure that the other person always walks away dissatisfied.
