Same old friends?

we shoild all learn how to grow up. we are a sociable beings we should not limit ourselves with just friends whom we are close with.when get in the real world we tend to meet a lot of people of different age,gender,nationality and other things . having other friends outside of your usual friends is very healthy and it means we are still learning and growing and that is life is all about. i have a lot of friends and group friends and each one does not mind if i am with the other and most of the time i try to link all of thembecause i am proud with all of my friends and each one benefits from each other.

I left all my friends behind in my home country. I don't have any new ones in the UK. Making friends here is nigh on impossible. I sure miss those girl talks that I used to like back home. It's strange being here with the only person that I am close to is my hubby. Without him, I would have no friends. So, as you can see, I really can't help you on this one. In the old days, I would just split my time between the old and new friends. Sometimes I would introduce them to each other. Times change, your habits change, as do your likes.

well a defination of friend in my views are a relationship of trust which include true feelings, emotions and understanding.well we spent much time with our friends and only friends are the one which remain with us in good and bad time, they never leave us alone. so if you hang out with your new friends and say them directly it will not hurt them at all generally, but it can hurt them as it depends on nature of the person. disadvantages of hanging out with new friennd is that you have to adjust according to them if u are not dominating in the group as you didnt know them very well and vice versa. and advantages are that you may enjoy much more than you enjoy with old friends also your friend circle would increase. but remmember friend old ones are good ones.

Hanging out with the same old gang, always brings about some good and bad. Good is that they know you like a textbook that they read years back in school. You wouldn't expect much changes to come from them, but they will always be the best people to offer you feedback. Its ok to go out with new group of friends, and I'm sure you will not need permission from the old guys. After all, friends are everywhere. Its only good to make more friends. But know how to differentiate good friends from bad friends.

I dont get fed up with frnds..I always love going out with them..I dont think we all would be as comfortable with a new frnd compared to someone who has ben with us for quiet lot of time...I always love to make new friends and go out with them..But surely not at the cost of my old friends..I always like to go with my old friends if they are with me...

Ofcourse at each step of life you make new friends but there two type of friendship one is short term that is you became friend because of some reason or some need and other is you became friends without any reason or need but only because you like each other this is a true and long term friendship.And in this kind of friendsip you do not need to express your feelings these are outomatically judged by your friend. And I dont think there is any disadvantage in hanging out with same friend each time rather its better you can know your friend more closely each time you hang out with them

I use to hang out with a fair amount of older friends from high school, but lost touch when I moved out here to Colorado from California, then I made a group of new friends and I managed to stay in touch with my best girl friend from high school. I got reacquainted within the last year with old school friends through MySpace, but just ones that I truly was friends with.

I tend to go out with the same friends, but we do different things and talk about different things. But I also go out with different friends from time to time and I feel bad or anything cause my friends have other friends.

Yes, I hang-out with the same old friends, and some new friends. It gets boring sometimes, but most of the time. My group of friends is so eclectic and from so many backrounds and very creative... I think we have more fun than anyone.. even at the more boring moments, we make it interesting somehow. Predictable?.. Nah.. I am even psychic and my group of friends are not always readable nor, predictable. :). I continually make new friends all the time, that I do my best to introduce to my friendship circle.. but to often they get nervous or afraid of eachother or jealous of eachother and then I sit there looking at the cats and dogs, and mice all fighting, and I am like... You are all my friends but... maaaaaan I can't stand the fighting... You drive me insaaaane. :) . Advantages of the same friends is you all know what you can talk about joke about and discuss, and everyone knows what everyone else expects and has formed a family like trust... Disadvantage of many friends.. and changing them is you have to start all over, it becomes a challenge, and when you run groups of friends like I do.. It becomes a real challenge trying to help your friends open up to a whole knew world of unexpected very creative diversity, and lots of disagreements, values conflicts, racial conflicts, religious conflicts... My group of friend is like a mini version of the world even little wars start out between them... But they still are all my friends. :) - DNatureofDTrain - DNatureofDTrain

Depends what kind of friends you are talking about... Real friends are a rare specie and hard to find. When you do find one... you don't get tired of it. And yes... real friends are predictable... because you get to know everything about them. If you find your friends boring... you should not be friend with them in the first place. Quite frankly... I don't think that you are looking for a friend. You are looking to meet new and different people to party with and have a wild time. That is fine. But that sort of friends are like a one night stand. Real friends are people... who hopefully... you can count on when you need help. But as I said... those are very rare.

Hello engineous, I'm pretty much selective when it comes to meeting new friends. I have been with my old friends since we're 7 years old. I'm comfortable with them and I can be my real self. All these old friends have their own set of friends. Same goes with me. It doesn't matter when we need to go out with our new found group of friends. We know that we can rely to each other in times of needs. Your old friends should understand that you need to have new friends from time to time. There's no limit as to how much friends you will have actually. All the best.

that's why we call them friends, it's like thru ups and downs, for fun or getting bored they are still your friends. getting acquainted with other people and finding yourself liking them should not let you leave your old friends. Friends are for keeps.

I have new ande old friends. i think that friends should be treasured and the really good friends, or old friends as you call them should never been forgotten, it takes a true friend to still be there for you after years of good and bad times. I have heaps of fun with my new friends but i always have time for old mates.
