Hi everyone! I have a friend, a bandmate from several years ago back when I was still in college. I really don't remember how we grew apart but I guess It started when I stopped singing and quit the band cause I have to concentrate more on studying. I thought we were like so close before and I really treasured the friendship. When I have problems, I can always rely on him to listen to me and get drunk with me without any malice. It was really a nice friendship. But, I don't understand why after a few years, after being through a lot of changes in our lives.. It's like he doesn't know me at all, anymore. He added me up in facebook but never did he post any comments or replied to my few comments on his pictures or anything.. I just don't know why.. But I miss that friend of mine. But I guess... sometimes we have to accept that people may come and go in our lives and people that stay are those that are really true and that are really worth it..

It happens, sometimes without fault from either party, we just drift apart from our friends such that it seems like they have become strangers and we are having a hard time connecting with them again.
Its hard to accept especially when we had a great friendship with someone and realize that after years apart, it is almost impossible for things to return to what they were before.

Look I have friends on Facebook but I hardly make comments. Maybe he is also on mylot and he probably is working with a band and does not have time. It does not mean he does not like you anymore. I would say the time situation and he could be like me, maybe he has something to complain about in his life but does not want to do it on Facebook or he feels that he has to put something important like the band played a very important gig. Then he might be married and his wife is telling him, "don't you dare write to that woman!"

Hi there Well, things like this are bound to happen and is part and parcel of life. I've also experienced this too so I know how you feel. So that means what's left are the memories of the both of you in college, but those are good memories. At least he left something there for you. How about you send a personal message to him? Perhaps he's busy with his personal matters or any other issues?

No I won't. I already sent messages before like jokes and liking is pictures and all that. And If I am that important to this person then he might have just reponded back just a fake hello or just anything to reassure we are still friends..

Hi clouds, it happens as the life moves, my childhood friends are my college friends but when i joined in PG i have some other friends but i have an interaction with my old friends too. Of late i made a online friend also, they all are in touch with me but because of their heavy work at home and at office they are reduced to make a call or send me message. Because of this online friend i really learned a lesson that we never make friendship with online friends at all. That is my bitter experience, why, what don't ask me, which i can't express it, it is real painful. This is life so whatever and who ever comes in and goes out we have to accept. Actually i always think god is the only good friend. Of course my husband too. But apart from them we will have our own friends but the thing is we should not expect the same intimacy from them as we are to them, because it is all depends upon. They may dislike us after sometimes because of our nature or our mentality may not be suits to them (they feel), then we must accept it. We can't ask or beg for them to come back to us is it not. Everyone will have their own thinking and habits also attitude, all depends. But true friends are real worth for the life. That i will admit.
Have a good day.

That's a sad story. I also had experiences like yours. I cannot bare these kind of people and have no intentions getting back to them. They are phony or users, they never treasure a real friendship like you do. Sure, they meet a lot of people but they're never permanent at all. I know how hard it feels, but just let go of it and find someone accountable enough, user your instincts. I'm not trying to be harsh or anything. Happy Mylotting! :D

Hello Clouds, it sound like a nice story from the past with your friend.
I can tell you that each of my friends in the childhood and teen ages, is not a friend of me anymore. Just the way we live divided us and everyone of us is following his own life. Don't worry about that, it's normal, people change with the time, usually they change mostly when they are teens. If your friend found his own personality and understood that it is much different than it was before, it's normal for him to change his character and to live different way.
Things happen in the life, may be you have to share how you feel with him?

That is a sad story of yours but I can tell you that the same thing is happening to me with few old friends. We just have to accept it because people change and meet a new people everyday, build a new friendship everyday. I also have this very good best friend when I was a teen but once we become a grown up, our view of life and belief turned out to be different, but we didn't do anything about it. We still contact each other but not as much as before, just once in a while. We also both met the men we really love so we are basically also in a relationship with someone. Good luck and have a nice day
