Should one get over childhood frienships? or can one get over them? more so in our fast paced lives where all we seek is instant pleasures without hard work of nurturing a relationship. so what happens when u meet some one who was very close to you say 20 years back but has moved up the ladder and does not respond to u, as your wud expect them to? what do u do? let go?

For me childhood friendship will never vanish into my memories because its a treasure of my youth, i still have my friends contact and continues communication even we are far away from each other,, lots of us are scattered around the world.

Hello rivergod40, I thinks its depends as friends we made when we are still kids are part of our life. But not all of them have stayed friends with us though the years we are growing up. Some we have lost communication with and never known what happened to them anymore. Some or we probably have moved places or school. Soon we become just mere acquaintances with our former childhood friends when we see them again. Even if that person had been close to you way back you were kids but you have been apart for so long so thing have changed. The memories are still there and we can cherish it but bringing it back the closeness again I think its different. In this case, I think we just have to let go and move on with our life. :-)

thx for writing back...i guess, its important to let go and think of the better times spent together, rather than try to get back and hurt oneself..

I don't think I will not be much hurt if a childhood friend will not be in touch with me. As we grow our responsibilites and hardships also grow. We get married and have our own life with our own problems. 90% people are live miserable life trying to live their normal life and meet their requirments financially........if only life was bed of roses and people had not worries, then they would relax and think about thier childhood friends....all that I want to say is that we and our friends all are as nice as they were one upon a time, but circustances have froced them to change their behaviour.
