I am just the kind of people who like making friends. However I am not the kind of people who are not good at keeping a friendship. I have so many many friends. But there are only a few we keep contact each other all the time. Some are just that we lost contact. We lost contact! But sometimes I miss them. Whenever I come to a new place, there would be a geat chance for me to know someone new, and evatually I will lost contact with the old friends.What about you? Are you good at keeping friends? Tell me how to?

i'm an army brat. so we have moved around a lot and people around me are always moving as well. it is very hard to stay in touch with all the moving happening. because in the middle of making friends this crazy thing called life happens. yes it is sad, but that is just how it is. i have lost touched with so many people. i just have to believe that they know they will always have a special place in my heart and know that i think about them from time to time. and i hope they think about me as well. i have my memories with them and really that is all i need to keep them close to my heart.

Hi, pchickk17! I am convinced that none of your friends will blame you! Friends are those who understand each other!

I have lost a few of them.. I have a lot of friends but if you ask me How many of those are your real friends I cannot say because I am not in regular contact with many of them but I have lost some good friends in my life because of my foolish behaviour and i regret it even now. But I cannot change the past so I am now taking care that I won't lose anymore friends..

Hi, madugulagopi. It seem there are a lot of similarilaties between us. I should remember your words. Since we cannot change the past,we should cherish now.

Sometimes it is hard to keep friendship if you don't see each other anymore. In my experience I stop seeing my friends and I don't get in touch to them anymore. I stop communicating them because I don't feel that they are concern about me and never cared about me during the time I need a friend to talk to. It's very seldom to find a true friend now a days that willing to listen and help you when you are in need.

I lost the vast majority of my friends when I moved from Arkansas to Louisiana. When I was in college, I lost two friends--one of whom was my best friend in high school--because of the fact that I was participating in RCIA and preparing to become Catholic (both of these girls are Protestant, and apparently, they felt what I was doing wasn't Biblical, so they dropped me like a hot potato). That having been said, I really haven't lost any other friends; in fact, I've made more friends than I've lost in the past few years.

I think life always gives me new friends & only my best friends will remain among old friends & the rest is gone with the wind. But we always get good friends in life so I never feel bad of loosing friends unless he/she is close to my heart. It's said that friendship is the gift of life & luckily I keep on receiving gifts every time. Happy Lotting

Yeah, I have the same feeling with you! Sometimes we just miss each other because we dont say something.

I have lost quite a few... Especially during school, we made friends every year and just forgot about our old ones. Thats just how it is. I have friends now but being married, I see it as, my family is most important, they come first. My friends and I do keep in touch when we get the time.

Yes we loose so many people in our journey of our lifes. Those are part and parcels of the life. But the person who stays till our end will be a real friend. He can do anything for us. Even we loose some contacts our they can feel our sense with them.

I have lost many friends along the course of my life. Many of them have just turned into people i dont want to associate myself with them. Like I used to think that they were awesome and always there for me and stuff but then they turn on me and thats the end of the friendship. i have also lost many friends because they have moved away. Some of them moved just to the town over and some move to another continent. one of my friends moved to India! I try my best to keep the friends but it is hard due to the fact that i constantly have to adapt to keep up with them. Thank you for the question

I used to have many friends before.Now,the group just become smaller over time.I feel that when people are getting older,they will interact with a smaller group over time.Then their friends will become less and eventually just their family left.I do having difficult to meet with my old friends since we have different holidays.
