I can remember when i was in college i had a large group of friends and as i moved on to university the number of my friends reduced! Now i have less friends than last year. M i ever going be alone if i m losing friends like this? I think it's because i have different goals u can't be with friends when u have to work and study in a different field!! Then u make new friends. But as im growing old im being more isolated everyday. Does this happen to everybody or m i the only one?

Yes, my friends and even my classmates, wayback during my first grade days, we do get in touch still. It depends on you. I suggest that should migle to others still. Migling is one way of getting along w/ others. How? for example, the best way to a man's heart is through his stomach. =)

I have apparently lost all friends, all of them and now non of them that would visit me very weekend ever come-I cant explain this, but i dont miss them so much, I just know priorities tend to change with time, the one you thought was friend 5 years ago now thinks differently of you!

I had many more friends 5 years ago because I was working then and a lot of my friends were work colleagues, now that I don't work I have unfortunately lost contact with a lot of people, and now I have less friends, and when you move home you also lose touch with people too!

yes it can happen if you are not careful about choosing your priorities in life. We can actually have only 2 or 3 really good friends, basically its good to have 2 friends each from your area(s) of interest. As you know, friendship is nothing but give and take , if that underlining thing is not present there cannot be any good friendships, you can give and take only from your areas of interest, so the more areas you are committed in for a long time, the more committed friends you will have from those areas. So try to get your priorities right and hold on to the friends from those areas!

Five years ago means that I was a student of a University. I enjoyed my time cause I have many friends besides my classmates friend. Right now, after time passed, we are bussy with our bussines and sometimes don't have time to make any relations. I really miss the condition when I was having many friends.

more I think
I was just getting over being really crazy 5 years ago
I think most people usually pair up and go to work and lose touch with friends as they age
join a church maybe

no, i definitely don't. five years ago i was 14 and in high school. now i'm nineteen and very recently moved to another state to live with my boyfriend. i'm still in contact with a couple of my friends, but i definitely am far from having as many as i did 5years ago.
