Friendship That Drift Away
5 months 2 weeks ago
Occured to me many times...(Great Topic btw).
Had many experiances where i would be friends with someone and with someone else the next school year. I think it's mainly because as I grew up, our interests started to change, until we eventually have nothing in common. Now when I am in the same classes as prior friends, there's this insanely awkward feeling. Even creating small talk is hard for me. I think it is also awkward for them too. So I never talk to them anymore and i don't say "Wats Up" or anything. I just basically ignore them or a general nod. Even if we were to talk, it has just been too long to find a topic of equal interest.

Thought I'd share this story since it happened to me last week.
I'm now in my first year of uni, i don't really remember much about 4th grade.
That was like 8 years ago.
Anyway i do remember a few faces and names from back then.
And the strangest thing i ran into one of those guys in the mall
last week.
I knew who he was, he looked at me funny and we both spoke each others name like WTF? We than had coffee catching up what we have been doing and hang out for a while. I can't tell you how awesome it was to meet him after so many years.
Completely different from the person i remember, hell all we did back then was annoy teachers and play lemmings and bugdom and nanosaur in the mac comps.
I do have other friends i lost touch with and they were mostly in primary school.
The friends i made in high school are still my friends.
And those i am friends with i have their contact details and we go out sometimes so even though everyones doing their own thing and going different places with their lives we still see each other.
I think the friends you make in high school and probably uni tend to be your long lasting friends.

It's sad when it happens, but it's sadder when you're bestfriends with those people and suddenly lost contact. If you see them again, there can even be resentment for not keeping in touch.

That's happened to me many times. One time, it turned out...bad, and he's now my online stalker. Fun stuff. But through the years and all those friends I had, I've had one that has stuck by me the whole time. If you have one friend like that, hold on to them. Me and my best friend have been friends since the day we met over 10 years ago and I wouldn't trade her for the world.
Of course! But that's life, you know? Although you might find it a little hard to see something like that just... It's best live on, you know? Your bound to meet a fork in the road with your friends and they won't always go in the same direction as you, you know? I miss the times I used to hang out with my friend Shanna but I guess that we met one of those forks in the road. that was a long while ago and we still see each other, just a little less. I don't mind though, she's still having fun and I am too! Although... if our relationship just went to nothing then I guess I wouldn't mind that either. I'm just the kind of person that goes with the flow and only fights back when necessary, you know? Besides, if nothing ever changed then there wouldn't be any butterflies. Everything is bound to turn out beautifully, I know it. just a feeling that everyone should know

Yes, totally. I have an old best friend who is very popular at school.
As we change classes, it makes it harder for us to chat everyday, or stay close.
As I mention before, she's popular, so she has many close friends.
I don't really think it matters to her if we're still good friends or not.
Because she told me this,
although we're not close any more, I'll still remember you, and those days I spent with you.
I was so touched =)!
And I'm going to experience this again when I leave my school this year O_O.
Ouch...

Yea this happens to me all the time I've lost many friends because they just kind of drifted away like the magic is gone. I guess in a sense everyone just moves on with their own life. I mean I know some people who've stayed friends since their childhood but thats like maybe 2% of the world or so that get to keep friends like that.
It does happen. However, there are people like myself who are distance friends. We disappear for years or we live far away, but when you get down to it we are always dependable. So even if you don't see friends like me for a long time we always seem able to pick things up where they left off no worse then when they were put down. Definitely a good thing for me to be since I am doing military service, don't you think?

That happened to me when I was in grade 8 moved from Elementry to Secondary met new friends but lost some old ones on the way and talked less to the friends which I had been with for nearly 8 years. But still that is the way life is but there is a friend I hope that would always be there and always be my friend and I've known him for 3 years and have been friends since and hope it lasts.

Ya happens to me a lot... A big part is because I get lazy/distracted and we just stop doing stuff. Then it's all down hill from there. It really sucks but I guess it is just part of moving forward in life... or screwing it up I duno hah.
The main problem I think is that people aren't always meant to be into the exact same things as all their friends. You are a separate person and will always find your own interests. Sharing those interests is fun, but making new friends who already have a passion like you do can be even better. I guess basically c'est la vie.
This is what life is about...U gain some ,u lose some.Sadly ,Nothing is meant to last(no offence) even friendship.But those precious memories that once binds us together between friends or families will always exists in our hearts

Yeah I think it happens to everyone, we all make our friend during highschool(somtimes even prior to that), you hang out and have fun throughout your teens but as you grow further into adulthood each person grows individually and really becomes his/her own person as they walk their own paths. Personally speaking Ive noticed quiet a few of my mates walk down rather disapointing paths,becomming entangled in drug abuse, stealing and even suicide. It's sad to see and no matter how much you tru, sometimes you must leave a person walk their path. Even for those who do not specifically choose a negative path such as those, just becomming different people and getting involved with others can see the closest highschool mates over the other side of the world. The way I figure it, its always best to cherrish the memories you have with those people and leave it there.
Sad but true, it happens
I have lost 4 or 5 friends that way
Why? People change, I guess.

Unfortuantely it is very true and real, but with everyone having their own individual lives sometimes it just turns out that way. Sometimes we even lose friends just becuase as we grow up we realize that we really didn't have that much in common with them (happened to me a bunch of times, even with online friends). I think people that have long lasting friendships are lucky, those are hard to come by.
