Do you make an effort to reconnect with old friends?

Hello cecille!!! With time on and on, many things changes. And so the friends. I miss the friends of my college(grade 11 and 12) life. Now all of us study at different colleges and have the different destiny. I wish I could be together with them again. Though I have to admit that I haven't make any effort. Last time a friend of mine had ask me to make a get together program. I hope that day will come soon. Some effort is going on. May be this will be the one for reconnecting up again... Happy mylotting...

I am so happy you posted this question. I had some good friends I lost touch with for over 6 years. I just found them ALL on my space about 2 weeks ago and I was so happy. We had a few bumps on the road and were so immature that those "bumps" caused us to stop speaking to each other. We have all forgiven one another and I am SO happy to have them back. They have all married and have kids!! I am so happy that I searched for them and never gave up until I found them. I just wish somebody was looking for me :(

This is a pertinent discussion given that we are lost in our mesh of priorities. This is sad and some of very good old relationships have strained due to our lack of effort. And I am guilty as charged for many times I find myself not calling to my old friends as often I should have. I only receive the calls from them. Having said this, I am taking an extra effort to come of of it. Every weekend I make it a point to call some friend and guess what it feels great! Thanks for starting this. I must go and call someone and talk to her.

Hi. The oldest friend I recently reconnected with is an old friend from grade school. I'd been away from our place for almost 15 years. Most of my old friends came from where I came from. The best thing to reconnect with them is tru internet. I usually search for them in social networking sites like facebook and friendster. Thanks...

I make various efforts to reconnect to my old friends. there are various sites on which old friends interact like orkut,my page5,my lot.one can find friends online.as we keep in touch with the old friends from a long time.so there is somethig which attatches us to them.

Dear myLot freinds, cecillecarmela, Thank you very much, I have made much efforts to find my good old freinds, actually, i have in the first place leaned computer to trance our my childhood friends. Thank you, Seasons greetings and all the best wishes to you all.

My friends and I all live in different places and we all live such busy lives, it is really hard for each of us to reconnect when we are doing so many other things.

I do. I love getting in touch with my old friends. And if something kept us away, I just let bygones be bygones and get in touch. It makes you feel so good. Try it out. If we don't forgive others, why should God forgive us.

hii dear friend..nice to meet you here..Yeah definitely i make the effort to meet my old friends..I will try to keep get togetjer every year to meet my childhood friends..I will call to them and i will keep in contact..And also through online we will be chating...And also i have 4 of friends who are closer to me from the childhood..They are very trusty and i will share all of my personnel matters with them..In the same manner they also share their personnel feeling with me...Happy mylotting dear friend..have a nice day..keep smiling..

well as of now no. im too busy with my work now and such that i have no time to reconnect with old friends. the only thing i do now with my old friends is to invite them to my social sites and that's about it

Yes, I value friendship very much. That is why I always make it a point to keep in touch with friends. It can be something as simple as a text or email. Sometimes, I also chat with them through Yahoo Messenger or Facebook. I do these especially when my friends are in other countries. As for my other friends who are in the same country and city as me, I usually go out with them once a week or once every two weeks. I never go by more than 3 months without communicating with all my friends. Friends are what makes life brighter and more enjoyable.

Yes I will if she also wanted to have it reconnected to me. Its nice to start again the reconnection of old friends as it is test of time .Loving to person having misunderstanding sometimes is sweeter when she also change his attitudes but if not I will be vigilant to it but still be flexible of what she is. I dont like to got old having that kind of letting mad to those old friends. I will be friend to her whatever happens evem they do not good for me.

No, I will not reconnect with my old friends actively. Although we were good friends, the friendship can't still last for many years without any connection. Even we meet each other, we may make friends again or become strangers.

I try my level best to keep in touch with my old friends. I call them, talk for hours together. I feel happy to recall my past days with them. I do spend time with them. Once in a month we will be arranging get together. Love to spend time with my friends.

I have made effort and in one particular instance the old effect [the magic] was not there. People change with circumstances and though it bothered me at that time , I did not think too much about it. But I still have friends who have been my school mates and classmates. One particular friend is really special . She was a neighbour and she shifted and after college we got married. But still I keep in touch because it happened and I thank God for it.There is also another one whom I am in the closest touch to this day because she is also netsavvy.I told her about mylot too and now she is here. Friends are a real boon. But as we grow older our lives change and some friends also change. THen we naturally change even though we do not initiate the change.I try to reconnect but if it is not like the old bonding I just leave it.

Yes I do. But some of them, I chose not to reconnect. Because I have friends that are bad influence. I mean even they have their own family now, they usually go out at night. That's the one thing my husband don't like.

Yes, I do make an effort to reconnect with many of my old friends. Sometimes frequent connection is the base of friendship. Imagine that you have a friend you seldom call on, what would you say to him once a day you met each other? It's totally embarrassed. That's why I always drop messages to my old friends in special days, like in holidays or festivals, or when they move to a new house or get married. However, there is a part of friends in your life that don't need your frequent connections. These friends may have known you for a very long period or since you are very young. They may know you better than yourself. You have built so profound mutual trust with these friends that nothing can harm the relationship. Even though you have not visit him for a long time, he will still give you a hand once you have difficulties.

i do call up my old pals once in a while and have a chat with them - get updated with news, share experiences, tell them what i'm doing right now and thats it. But unfortunately people don't call me up and do the same. I giev them all a chance - say i call them up two or three times - and if i get a cold response i don't really bother myself to bother them!

Well, it depends. I only make an effort to reconnect with old and close friends, because some reasons we lost the connection. And keep in touch every months. However, I never try to reconnect with friends who we didn`t talk much when we were in the same class. Because, we are in the different cities, and our relation cann`t be improved by a call or a text message.

To be frank, I dont make any effort to reconnect with my old friends. Only if they try to talk to me, i will respond. Usually I dont initiate to reconnect.I dont know whether all my old friends remember me in their hectic schedule. I do have contact with very few of my old friends who regularly talk with me. I am keeping in touch with those friends only.
