People change, Friendships as well

People change, people grow together, and people grow apart. If you want to get back in touch with your friends you should. Always follow your gut, it is almost never wrong. When you stop to think about things for too long of a time, is when you get anxious and nervous about things. I miss lots of my old friends, some I have no idea how to get in contact with, and others have made it quite clear they have no interest in further contact from me. Cheers.

I believe in your opinion elitess, somtimes we have friends that we miss so much but the distance and the time apart separated the communication. I believe growing apart can be a term used here, but for me there are no friendships that have grown apart if you'll forever cherish the moments into your heart. I have a bestfriend from high school, we kinda lost touch after graduation but after college we became close again. We just happen to rekindle the moments we loss touch with each other. We tried to fill in the gaps and just picked up where we left off from high school. Until now we are such great friends even if she's about to get married soon. It's not yet too late to just say hi and hello to your bestfriends elitess, if you know the friendship you had with them were TRUE then you'll definitely not regret starting off where you guys left off. Good luck. Happy mylotting.

Hello elitess. I also had some very good friends at high school and we used to study together and walk to school together, but after graduation when we parted with each other, we had no more contacts with each other. Yet I am expecting to have a chance to meet them somewhere so that we can be friends again though it is hard to say that we are still good friends...Take care.

You're right about that. Friendships are permanent but friends do come and go. There are times that you're close to someone then there are times that you act like acquaintances. Bottom line though is that whether you may be best friends or just acquaintances, friendship is still there. It will not go away unless there's something happened to make it otherwise. But with just the drifting apart thing, I know you guys are still friends when you see each other. It would be just like old times. However, it would be one of those few times that you guys could hang out together again like you used to. You guys just have different social circles now. Different routines and priorities in life. The incident that you guys arent talking or anything doesnt mean that you're not friends anymore.^_^ It's good to drop a line to old friends sometime. Make them know that you still think of them even with the distance both in time and space. Why not suggesting that you 3 could go and hang out sometime? Im sure they'd love that.

sometimes, people change and the friendships change with that. but, if you miss them and there are no fights in the past, i think you should try to contact them. you'll never know how they really feel about you if you don't. and you never know, maybe you'll regain the friendship or if not at least you know where you stand with them. it's better to know that they don't want to be friends with you anymore than to be in limbo like that. you have closure that way.

That happens. As we grow older, we change in a lot of ways consciously or unconsciously including in the friendships we have. I've had that experience with a high school friend, too. We just drifted apart, and years after I heard her name somewhere and wondered what went on. I looked her up on Facebook, and added her to my friends list. She happens to still live in the same town, so we got the chance to meet up along with other high school friends and pick up where we left off.

U are true that people change but friendship does not, at times priorities changes. If u really miss them and there was no figh or anything, what u are waiting for just try and get in touch with them. Who knows they also have same feeling for you and just waiting fo your call. Old friends always remain there as they know you from days when you were nothing, so clean and pure is the relation

Seems as if it so easy to drift away from people or they drift away from u. It's a sad thing i think & wish it hadn't happened to me & some of my former friends. If i were u & missed the people & knew how to contact them i would. I bet they would love hearing from u.

I have been through that with some of my friends. We used to be together all the time until circumstances changed and we drifted apart too. One friend I did not have any more contact with and I was glad to leave it that way because I sensed it was time for our friendship to end as we were no longer getting along as we used to. Another dear friend who I used to be very close to lost touch with me when she moved away and we had no contact for almost two years. When I heard she returned home I looked her up and our relationship began again as if we had never been apart and we are still best of friends today. Sometimes people come into our lives for a reason and they leave. Only you can know in your heart whether a friendship is worth resuming. If you were close there is no harm saying hi every now and again and see where it takes you.

I bet that when you try to look them up, and you start talking, you'd realize that as real friends, it would be like not a day has passed between you. You'd still have the same conversations the day you last talked. And then you'd wonder why did you ever stopped talking. And then you'd realize that you just needed to widen your worlds, but there is no need to stop being friends.

I too have lots of friends who I was very close with but through the years have lost touch. It might be because we are very busy with our own lives, have families and have new friends that we hang out with . I think though we should not lose touch with them even just drop a hi or hello once in a while. If you miss them sometime you should definitely try contacting them once again. We all need friends to help us get through with our lives and if they are really good ones it's a sad to see them go. We have nothing to lose if we renew our friendships with long lost friends and we have everything to gain.

true, i agree that as we grow our life priorities also change. though we miss the old times, and the old friends - the very people love to be with - but we have to let go, and find what we can do with our lives to become productive individual, and useful to the society. time will come, that you will be together again catching each other and filling the distance by talking and cheering one another. don't worry, situations like that are normal. Cheers!

i do agree that people change, friendships as well. but changes in old friendships are not that big, or serious as in we get drifted apart and never care for each other anymore. it's just that the chemistry might be gone after long-lost contact. but if we always keep in touch, there will be no awkwardness even if we get older.

Yes,With the changes in the work environment and some other reasons,with old friends graduslly alienated,or even no contact,I am now due to work in a very far away,I am with my high school friends have lost contact,in fact , i miss them ,but who do not know what to say,I feel like changed.

I do have many friends from my school days but non except one remain a true friend until now. It has been 39 years now since we left school but we are still together. There is no harm looking up for them in facebook so you might rekindle the long lost friendship. Good luck to you.

hi elitess I know we all change some but I do miss the p eople I worked with for twenty three years, and were friends with. I used to meet them in Larwin Square where we all used to shop but they never ever phoned me like they said they would or come to visit me either.so guess its out of sight,out of mind. they all have their own families and whats one elderly lady to them? sad but true I guess. they all hugged me when we met again at the dedication of our new library. but here I am in Gold crest and its in the phone book so why not call me?

Call them back, tell them u miss them, because you do not know that they might miss you too. After leaving high school, went to college and now working, I am glad that I still have a great friends that I still keep in touch, even though we only keep in touch a few times a year, but when we meet, I know, we are still bonding closely, especially for a person like me, who difficult to establish attachment with people, I am glad that I have them as a friend

I think they would likely be delighted to hear from you. We all get so busy sometimes that we put off making the call or sending the e-mail, text and then time goes by...and well you know. Since you basically drifted apart without any arguements, I'd tell ya to try and contact them. I had one college friend that I lost touch with because she moved and I didn't get her new address and then time went by. I still think fondly of her and would love to hear how she is and what she is up to. Maybe I'll try and find her again now that you brought her to mind..

I have the same feeling.With the age added,people will change,he will contact different perpon,different circumstance,his thoughts maybe change a little.You can try to keep in touch with them,if they still don't want to call you and talked with you.You do not need to contact with them.You make new friends instead of them.people will be grow.
