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 Time-zonedmug. The trill zone is a sacred place. It is located anywhere, at any given time and consists of only the trillest people alive, generally those born in Texas. That said, the trill zone is also very dangerous. At any moment things can go from perfectly fine to horrible at the drop of a dime. One minute you are having the time of your life and the next minute you are getting fried so hard that you literally feel your skin sizzle. It is also not uncommon to have your entire family tree disgraced by jizzing, veiny dick drawings, generally in the shade of yellow, or pink. Often times you will hear talks of automobiles, mainly of the BMW make, and how they are the "ultimate driving machine". The trill zone generally consists of one annoying person that is there simply to amuse himself at the expense of others, usually Monday through Friday during business hours.
I was in the trill zone earlier and shit got REAL. Dude got fried so hard that they couldn't even recognize him anymore!
