My friends just disappeared?[venting*]

[warup89]

I have a small group of close friends that I always [used to] hang out every week and lately all of us started either going to college or got jobs, and man it seems like we cant stand each other anymore. Its been almost 3 months and and no one bothers to keep in touch, when i ask one if he heard from the other, he says "nah" and if anything i just have a small conversation with one of them and that's it, we part to our own ways. I guess its because we all dont have time anymore, its sad though that even in the weekend this goes on. So far this last couple of weeks have been so boring....

I guess its time to meet new people, and even that's a challenge due to my job taking 12 hours of my day, having a broken down card, and well not having any motivation in the weekends.....ugh

Unfortunately this sort of thing happens as you grow up.

Sorry to hear about it.

Aye, it's sad but true, this does happen. Or the one where a couple friends get girlfriends and all of a sudden the people who can't make commitments are left on their own.

Just gotta keep your head high, set your own pursuits in life, and enjoy every minute you do spend with your friends. At some point you do look back, and realise you have come a long way, and pursuing fleeting friendships would have tied you back in life.

It may sound cold, but people only really matter when they're there. And the best friends you'll ever have, are the ones that make the gaps feel inexistent. As in, you may loose contact for months/years with them, but when you DO hang out, it's as if not a single day has gone past.

But well.. we all experience life in different ways. Just make sure you enjoy yours without the dependency of others ;) And absolutely have a blast when you're surrounded by mates.

Happens to everyone, same will happen to me when I go to college in September. I'll still keep in touch with my school friends but when I went to Secondary/High school I didn't hang out with my old friends anymore, though when I go to college I'll probably hang out with my school friends every now and then.

It happens man. Happened to me recently. A guy who is like my brother moved away and is in with the wrong crowd. Hell, we literally grew up together. We have known each other for 17 years now and I barely speak to him anymore.

It happens. Life just kinda takes over, and you hardly ever have time for friends anymore.

[warup89]

Thanks guys, I really needed to make sure if this was just a step of life.....oh well to each his own, per say.

Shoot I had to make entirely new groups of friends late in high school, in my early 20s, and now in my late 20s too. It's really weird but it happens like that. Later on you might reconnect with some of these people. Actually, count on it.

yea, after graduation the gang broke up as well all went in different directions, but sometimes well catch up on FB, but never bother any more then that.

life throws curve balls, just get ready to catch it.

Speaking of friends drifting its one of the reasons I joined TPU in the first place.

Only I walked away from my friends as we had grown to different.

10 year friendship isn't to bad though : ]
